Listen Eddie Palmieri

Eddie Palmieri is one of the foremost Latin jazz pianists of the last half of the 20th century, blessed with a technique that fuses such ubiquitous jazz influences as the styles of Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, and McCoy Tyner into a Latin context. No purist, he has also shown a welcome willingness to experiment with fusions of Latin and non-Latin music. However, despite a number of stints with major labels and numerous industry awards and nominations, he has yet to break into the American record scene in a big way.

Eddie Palmieri first hit in the '60s with his classic two-trombone sound. This is one of his finest albums; unassuming, joyous, punchy, and sharp, it has the outstanding Ismael Quintana on vocals and Manny Oquendo on timbales. All of the songs are great to listen to and very danceable. Another CLASSIC by the great EDDIE PALMIERI from the mid 1960's. I liked every track on the album, no need to skip to the next song, that is why I rate it a 5***** Classic. This is a great addition to anyone's Latin music collection especially if the like to listen to music while doing chores at home, this will get you dancing or in the mood to go out social dancing.

The reason this record is "legendary" is because it marks the first recorded performances, in 1970, of Eddie and Charlie Palmieri as bandleaders. The reason it should be a near mythical recording (it has never been available in the U.S. on CD, and was long out of print on LP before CDs made the scene), is for its musical quality and innovation. The Palmieris formed a band of themselves, a couple of Latinos that included Andy Gonzales, jazz-funk great – even then – Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and some white guys and taught them how to play a music that was equal parts Cuban mambo, American soul via Stax/Volt, blues, Funkadelic-style rock, pop-jazz, and harmonic and instrumental arrangements every bit as sophisticated as Burt Bacharach's or Henry Mancini's or even Stan Kenton's.

After the success of the Yellow Cube and the Black Box, the 3rd box will once again travel the musical planet Nova in all directions and at all times since the 50s.

The fate of the music underground tunnel where radio monopolies were confined these threatening cultural revolutions. Nova catching mix of cult songs like White Rabbit, the acid trip of fifteen years before Jefferson Airplane and Devotion by John McLaughlin, one of the pioneers of jazz-rock fusion. 1981 and the lyrical and modernist breakthroughs of the new wave, Tuxedomoon. And his French electronics Heldon, with already big his New York Material, the group of Bill Laswell, a fellow traveler.
