Palmieri, Eddie

Eddie Palmieri is considered one of the best pianists and arrangers of salsa and Latin jazz of the last 60 years. His playing skilfully combines the rhythms of his Puerto Rican homeland with the complexity of his jazz influences, such as Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner. In 1961, Palmieri founded his own band, La Perfecta, which was distinguished by its unconventional line-up of trombones instead of the trumpets commonly used in Latin orchestras at the time. This created an innovative sound that blended American jazz with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and thrilled critics and fans alike.
