“Eddie Palmieri...has been the most consistently innovative artist in Afro-Cuban music in the United States for the past 30 years.” Fernando Gonzalez Boston Globe

“When you’re as dynamic and flexible a trumpeter as Lynch, everyone wants you” The New Yorker

"Jazz in July, the long-running concert series at the 92nd Street Y, concluded its current season on Thursday night in anomalous fashion. In a concert featuring the pianist Eddie Palmieri and the trumpeter Brian Lynch, the tradition-minded series made room for Latin jazz: the real thing, piquant and polished, with an urgent approach to propulsion. And this experiment in programming, if that’s what you want to call it, was an exuberant success." Nate Chinen — New York Times
