Eddie & Charlie Palmieri - SALSA BROTHERS

Eddie & Charlie Palmieri [-] SALSA BROTHERS – [Nascente, 2011 Import]

2011 collection from the Latin music legends. In Salsa and Latin jazz, two brothers stand tall as the giants of the piano: Charlie and Eddie Palmieri. From the late 1940s to the present day, the brothers have been a dominant force in Latin music and Salsa Brothers showcases their most sought after recordings from their time at Coco Records (the legendary New York label run by Latin Soul producer Harvey Aherne) plus recordings for Atlantic, Seeco, Columbia and Tropical Budda – many of which are now out of print.

During their careers the brothers were at the forefront of new styles of Latin music – Charlie with Charanga in the late 1950s, Eddie with the new Latin Jazz sound in the early 1960s. By the 1970s, they were both stars of the new Salsa music. Both excelled at playing Salsa, becoming the genres preeminent piano legends, but they were also renowned for their heavier, experimental efforts in Latin Jazz, Boogaloo and Latin Funk. Nascente.

Nuyorican composer, arranger and pianist Eddie Palmieri’s recording “Listen Here” absolutely smokes! If you don’t have this gem in your collection … get it today it’s definitely worth your time, money and effort!

Eddie Palmieri - LISTEN HERE (2005)

Eddie Palmieri -][- LISTEN HERE – [Concord Records, 2005]

With “Listen Here” the “latin monk” Eddie Palmieri explores his jazzier roots with guests soloists and his excellent working band with great sucess. It’s fun and upbeat [like Eddie] but it is NOT big band latin jazz. For that turn to Eddie’s cd’s “La Perfecta” and “Obra Maestra”. This cd has more of a small unit jazz flavor with several jazz standards [Monk,Silver] and Eddie originals. Frankly to my ears the originals work better.

Regina Carter [violin] burns on “In Flight” and sax player Michael Brecker [who is very ill by the way] cooks on “Listen Here”. Listen Here seems to work best with the pared down units in the several formats presented here. Eddie’s percussive Monk-like piano playing is particually interesting on La Gitano with great subtle accoustic guitar work by John Scofield. Fans of Eddie’s big band latin jazz may be dissapointed or surprised [I was pleasently] but this is Eddie reaching and stretching his art. I hope he cotinues to evolve. Heck he’s only 68 years old!
