EDDIE PALMIERI (PIANIST,COMPOSER,ARRANGER)
Eddie Palmieri is considered one
of the most creative, unique artists in musical history. It is impossible to
summarize in a few short words Eddie’s trajectory and contributions as a pianist,
composer, arranger, orchestra director, and above all, as a leader in producing
albums with successful artists and bands.
A self-professed lover of jazz and salsa (a genre in which he was a pioneer),
Eddie experimented with Afro-Caribbean beats, giving them an innovative sound.
Over the course of his long and successful career, Eddie Palmieri imprinted his
excellence on more than 35 albums, including the following: “Palo pa’ rumba;”
“Champagne;” “Unfinished Masterpiece” (with the participation of vocalist Lalo
Rodríguez); “Sing Sing,” which was released twice; "Vámonos pa’l monte” (considered
one of the classics of his discography); and "The Sun of Latin Music," the first
Latin album to win a Grammy, in 1974.
During his long and successful career, he played concerts and recorded with the
Tico All Stars. Later, he performed with the internationally acclaimed Fania All
Stars.
