The world has long admired Eddie Palmieri – the Harlem-born, eight-time Grammy award winner – as one of the foremost Latin pianists of the last half-century. His ability to fuse the rhythms of his Puerto Rican heritage with the jazz influences of Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner made him an instant success in the 1950’s and 60’s. Palmieri, who embodies the jazz spirit of improvisation, has continued to roll on with stylistic innovations over the years, creating classic Tico albums and later mixing salsa with R&B, pop, rock, and Spanish vocals. In 2005, Palmieri celebrated an amazing 50-year career as a professional musician, and will celebrate his 70th birthday year with the Rialto.
