EDDIE PALMIERI SALSA ORCHESTRA – LATIN JAZZ SEPTET – REVIEWS & RECORDING
Critic Quotes
“This is music so vital and joyous. . .a totally celebratory sound, bouncing, shuffling, weaving and grooving along on a beat so mesmeric and soul-wrenchingly right that you want it to go on forever.” Linton Chiswick, Time Out, London
“Salsa boasts many brilliant musicians . . .but none quite like the eccentric Eddie Palmieri – at once the Miles Davis and James Brown of the genre.” Alan Leeds, City Pages, Minneapolis
“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, Boston
As world traditions collide and mingle, it’s a relief to hear something so purely itself, so elegant and – in the case of Eddie Palmieri’s band – so absolutely on fire that the idea of improving it seems laughable.” Paul de Barros, Jazz Etc.
