Wow Eddie is performing like a Ninja/Chameleon flowing in and out like a mad puzzle maker letting his soloist fill-in the pieces to his multi-sounding master of a puzzle fine soloing by Luques Curtis on the Bass Pequeno Johnny Rivero on the Congas Jonathan Powell on the Saxophone Louie Fouche on the Trumpet Joe Clausell on the Timbales and completing out the rhythm section Orlando Vega...Jonathan and Louie really blow hard on this production really wish them much continued success on their respective musical journeys...Long Live Eddie Palmieri ❤️🎶✊💯🇵🇷😎
Thank You! My Lord For putting Eddie Palmieri in all Our Lives for Those Who Love Latin Jazz, Salsa, or just Jazz! May Eddie Long Live, blessed Mr. Eddie Palmieri, and his band members. Also R.I.P his Brother who left Us too Early sadly Conjo Charlie. :-(
My Sister turned me on to EP when I was 13 during the start of hip hop. My friends were listening to Biggie, Pac, Wutang. Don't get me wrong those boys are dope but when I blasted Eddie I got clowned. 10 years later the same brothers who were clowning me were jamming at Yankee stadium 2001 watching Fania kill it! Eddie Palmieri is a fucking jazz genius. Thanks sis for leaving me with this before you left.
Es una música galáctica, la de Palmieri y sus grandes músicos acompañantes. Buenísimo... Pero tengo que quejarme de esos camarógrafos que interrumpen los set de "sólos" de percussión; de verdad es una falta de respeto para el que le gusta apreciar la técnica de los percusionistas al ejecutar el "sólo" y una buena secuencia de la pieza en general; pareciera que les importa más el acompañamiento de los otros instrumentos cuando se ejecuta el "sólo" de percusión. Por lo demás, muy agradecido por compartir esta tremenda presentación...
Cómo es posible que sólo 7 músicos consigan una sonoridad tan clara y definida!! Además de la excelencia musical, este sonido es una lección para los sonidistas!! Excelente!!
Esto es Musica, no se como pueden llamarle musica a una Lyrica sin ritmo melodic, la musica es esto que demuestra arte, Calidad este swing que no te cansas de escuchar y bailar. Que viva el Latin Jazz y du ssbor. Gracias Eddie por tu various legato Musical.
El Maestro Palmieri is like old wine, gets better with time. No one comes close to his technique on that instrument. Unsurpassed harmonics and improvisation. WHOA !!!
He is a master! but lets not forget there are others that he admires very deeply and respects , like Bebo, Chucho and his inspirational Cuban piano masters form the 40s 50s like Lili Martinez, Rene Hernandez and many others , but Eddie has elevated this music to the max!
Brian Vasquez I agree Brian, Every great musician has to have a mentor or two. At this stage El Maestro Palmieri has become an inspiration to many young pianist. Thank you for your comment...
Colonization of the Americas allowed for the melding of European, Indigenous and African sounds-creating some very danceable musical styles. Most of what is known as Latin music comes from the melding of cultures that took place during the Spanish and Portuguese colonization of the Americas. 20:20 Latin jazz came to prominence as a musical genre in the 1940s, when Afro-Cuban musicians in Spanish Harlem such as Mario Bauzá and Chano Pozo began to collaborate with African American jazz musicians.

Excelente publicación, Lucas Vázquez. Buen gusto, sin excesos caribeños, muy buenos músicos, del repertorio de temas no se diga, y me quedo corto. Saludos.
Extraordinario como siempre Eddie Palmieri. Tan solo eché de menos el trombón pero a Eddie se le perdona eso y más. Gracias Lucas, un saludo desde Puerto Rico.
Oiga Lucas, gracias un millón por regalarnos ese conciertazo, ese viejito la mueve de verdad!! y el acompañamiento estuvo a la altura, gente joven según pude ver (en comparación a Eddie) pero profesionales del mas alto nivel musical. Nuevamente gracias y que viva la buena música!!
Hola Cesar, perdon por la tardanza. Espero que te alla gustado, en breve estare subiendo mas conciertos enteros, te invito a te suscribas a mi canal. Saludos
oigan muchachos porque escoger este tipo de connection para ponernos a insultarnos unos a otros, después de todo somos hermanos latinos y que nos gusta mucho el latín jazz, estos músicos los vi yo en Bartimore City Mariland,va para 2s años y me impresionaron mucho pues son muy buenos y con el maestro Don Eddie Palmieri tremenda noche que pasamos juntos mis amigos y yo, pero no discutan mis hermanos, okay.
Ni siquiera te atrevas a comparar esto es oro, esos disque géneros reggemierda, banda y toda esa basura que destruyen oídos, ni siquiera a los talones llegan a esta Música
Candido Camero: The First Generation The King of the Congas is the man behind the beats for many of Jazz's best known acts. Candido is credited as the first person to bring Latin beats into Jazz with his famous Congas. Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Yardbird, Dizzy Gillespie, and Stan Kenton would not be the same without his unique rhythms. But being first isn't what make Candido famous, he has brought a spirit and fire to his drums that few younger players can match. 1:04:40 Source: X8 Drums
The legendary Jelly Roll Morton was noted for saying that Jazz had to contain “The Spanish Tinge,” indicated that Afro-Latin elements have been in Jazz from the music’s inception. As the century progressed, however, we started to see a more overt fusion of Jazz with Afro-Cuban musical traditions, especially with BeBop innovators like Dizzy Gillespie. By today, we have a distinct style of music, called Latin Jazz, that we consider a crucial and influential vein in this musical tradition. 30:30 Source: Jazz Academy
Latin jazz, also called Afro-Cuban jazz, a style of music that blends rhythms and percussion instruments of Cuba and the Spanish Caribbean with jazz and its fusion of European and African musical elements. Latin jazz was the result of a long process of interaction between American and Cuban music styles. One of the most vibrant of jazz styles, generically termed Latin Jazz, comes from the Afro-Cuban tradition. The clave, both an instrument and a 5-stroke rhythmic pattern, is the heartbeat of great Afro-Cuban music. 10:10 Afro-Cuban jazz is the earliest form of Latin jazz. It mixes Afro-Cuban clave-based rhythms with jazz harmonies and techniques of improvisation. Sources: Britannica; JazzArts; Jazz History Tree
I've been a jazz man for a long time,Palmieri has always been at the fore front of "Afro Cuban jazz,him and Cal Tjader,so many others,where am i going with this,,Latin Jazz has a spicyness,a special favor,you have to be in to it,all the way,"Night in tunisia",Ray Barretto,i could go on,but if you had came from where i'm from maybe,you'd have that special place for hot,smooth,and heavy talent, zesty,ha explore,life sports.
me acuerdo de su orquesta LA Perfecta con el ya fallecido Ismael Quintana vocalisando que Bandon era aquella orquesta, 2s de favoritos, mi palo de mango y Justicia, que hermoso recuerdo.
Porque no indicastes a Luques Curtis en el Bass. De los mejores en la actualidad, diría que es un aventajado alumno de Andy Gonzalez por el estilo con que ejecuta el bass.
Gracias por el post ahí estaba rebuscando a ver si alguien lo mencionaba, creo haberlo visto tocar con Maraca alguna vez pero no se si es el mismo, es tremendo
jajajaja Monica eso pasa regularmente,los que graban muchas veces fallan en las tomas ......Hector... son geniales sin el trombon,imaginatelos si estubiera....... .
does anyone know about the sort of relationship between congas and bongos here? like do they play similar rhythms in unison or do they more complement each other to add depth or how do they go about it?... obviously not same for every song but just curious about how eddiie incorporates both? thanks if anyone can help meout im not used to this kind of music
it's complicated as you would have to understand how the 2 would work in African music. I look at it simply as two voices, with the congas having a more central role, but I suggest you get a more professional opinion from the real salseros, I am only an enthusiast. thanks.
The conga plays a rhythm called the tumbao which shares the name with the rhythm the bass is playing. The conga is a lower end instrument in terms of harmonics, so it lays the foundation while the bongo complements what the conga player is doing. The bongos are doing accents most of the time and are only "essential" when it comes to higher energy sections of the song, when the bongo player switches to the cowbell. Also, the bongo player is the one that plays the requinto "small conga" in rhythms such as bomba, plena, and guaguanco, as well as playing the tambora in merengue
David Powell Dave who spent their hard earned money to buy salsa records during the 60s and 70s? Puerto Ricans in PR and NY (and the rest of the US) . Of course, the Cuban economy doesn t permit any significant sales of salsa records. Nowadays, the rest of the Hispanics and other salsa lovers spend their money on CDs and support the pro salsa economy.
+David Powell I saw Eddie about a decade ago in an Arts Center in Port St Lucie Florida. It was funny because he was there with his jazz group but a lot of the audience, at least those who even knew who he was, were asking for his older dance oriented music. I knew his jazz and straight salsa stuff, but the Latinos were mainly "guajiros" looking to dance. The gringos were just confused although I am sure they enjoyed it.
My family grew up with the Palmieri Bros. practicing on their pianos next door . Eddie always included some jazz numbers on his albums. He is a master of fusion with his Latin jazz. Look up Bamboleate and El Sonido Nuevo where he unites with the late Cal Tjader for some timeless jazzy classics for starters. El Gran Cachao put that Cuban bass on the early recordings. You can t get it any better than that!!!! Great story about Port Saint Lucie. I heard a similar story about Albuquerque, NM. My friends were going nuts playing percussion against the chairs. The rest of the somewhat disconnected fans just sat there. Some were tapping their feet. I can t sit and listen to any top named band without dancing in place (at least).

Congas and bongos solos are alway ignored by the cameramen! They never stop more than 3 seconds on the soloist! Why?
+Jacques Centonze maybe his x wife used to play congas and bongos and every time he looks at them he remembers her !!
You right , man that bothers me .. such techniques , camera man or the person editing has no clue at all!
@@mohamedhamid1994 Good One! :-)
tremendo
El saxofonista se llama Louis Founché
Gracias Lucas! Eso si es Musicon!

Afro Cuban is Jazz. Salsa is dance music. There is a slight difference,but they do share many characteristics,sometime indistinguishable.
