Eddie Palmieri was a highly influential American pianist, bandleader, and composer known for his fusion of Latin music sub-genres, particularly salsa and Latin jazz. Over six decades, Palmieri had been a driving force in the evolution of this style, performing and educating and earning him the nickname "The Sun of Latin Music." His complex arrangements and high energy stand out on most of his recordings, where his punchy piano style matches the percussion and horns for musical leadership. On this video, one can feel the sensitive interplay of his sextet. Palmieri recorded over 40 albums and won multiple Grammy awards. He passed away August 6, 2025.
