Eddie Palmieri at BAM

Eddie Palmieri’s musical career spans 40 years as bandleader of salsa and Latin jazz orchestras. His virtuosity on the piano has earned him seven Grammy Awards, including the first presentation for Best Latin Album for the 1975 The Sun of Latin Music. Born in Spanish Harlem, Palmieri’s influences include not only hot Cuban players of the 1940s and jazz luminaries Art Tatum, Bud Powell, and Miles Davis, but also his family’s Puerto Rican roots. Palmieri seeks to captivate and elevate the senses with his music, taking audiences where percussive, pounding piano swings hot and wild.
