"With his renowned trademark percussive attack on the piano, Palmieri's trajectory and stature in the realm of Latin jazz is unrivaled, and this record just might be his crowning achievement," raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ (2017 Album Review of 'Sabiduria/Wisdom'). NEA Jazz Master, 10x-GRAMMY® Award-Winner & 14x-GRAMMY® Nominated Jazz Pianist & Composer EDDIE PALMIERI is known as one of the finest pianists of the past 60 years. His playing skillfully fuses the rhythm of his Puerto Rican heritage with the complexity of his Jazz influences: Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock & McCoy Tyner. Palmieri, born in Spanish Harlem to Puerto Rican parents, revolutionized Latin music with his innovative band La Perfecta in the 1960s. His fusion of Jazz and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, showcased in albums like 'Harlem River Drive,' earned him 10 GRAMMY® Awards. Palmieri's accolades also include a Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Don't miss the chance to see this jazz icon live before he retires! "A living legend and cultural treasure," states AP NEWS. "Palmieri's genius is to stay rooted at the rhythmic heart of his band while playing with the improvisational flair of Horace Silver or McCoy Tyner," raves THE GUARDIAN.
