One of the things that make Eddie Palmieri one of the greatest musicians ever is how one moment he gives you this Beutifull piano Solo that you can close your eyes and even meditate to and the next moment he has you dancing Rumba totally Amazing 🙌

I can listen all day to Eddie's beautiful relaxing music. I've always loved Eddie Palmieri since my teenage yrs. Born and raised in the Big Apple! We go back : Manhattan Center, Copacabana, Roseland Ballroom!!!WOOOW! Along with Eddie Pachecho, Tito Puente, Joe Cuba, Joe Bataan etc,....How I miss those good old days...! Iam soooo excited about Eddie's 85th Bornday Celebration...Wouldn't miss it for nothing in this world! This will be the only thing worth my time in Baltimore. I am a resident here now... ONLY because of my husband (Baltimoran!) Oops I meant Baltimorian smh 😬
I met Eddie once at a little jazz festival for high school kids back in... must have been 2000 or 2001 I think. He was super nice to all of us that didn't know anything. I didn't appreciate his playing as much then as I do now, but I remember rather vividly the concert at the end of the weekend and he played a few solos just like this. I'm so glad I got to see and meet him.
His music makes me feel nostalgic. Reminds me of my Grandfather who passed away years ago. He was also Puerto Rican, grew up in the gritty streets of Brooklyn.
@@josefino72 relax josefino, we all know what ruben meant by off beat clapping, no need to rubb no knowledge on no bodys face! Clap - Clave it is the BEAT he was reffering to so maybe you go google what a beat mean and than we talk aight???
Ruben is correct. Although they were clapping the clave of son in 2/3 direction correctly and maestro Palmieri acknowledged that, they started to drop the tempo and weren't in sync with him as they continued. El Maestro, unfazed, continued and luckily they stopped. Maestro Palmieri also displayed his unique form of co-ordinated independence. Being able to keep a guajeo, arpeggiating chords in clave with his left hand while soloing with his right, thus sounding like two pianists at the same time.
I was introduced to Mr. Palmieri's sound by listening to Masters at Work's Nuyorican Soul project and have loved his music ever since. Harlem River Drive album is a killer too. Thank you Eddie for the wonderful music.
The sound quality of NPR Tiny Desk recordings is downright amazing. I don`t know what your secret is, but I get chills nearly every time. Also, Palmieri is sublime. :)
Totally. I don't even know how I came across this channel, but it's definitely one of my favorites. I wish there were more Palmieri videos out there, to be honest. He's a really great talent.
Eddie Palmieri is on TH-cam, and his legacy is assured. If you like jazz: Resemblance. Strong salsa swing: Lindo Yambu…La Malanga, and Oyelo que te Conviene… etc., etc. Enjoy.
I so wish he was something like an older brother or a dad to me. Or even that cool uncle that comes by once a year. Your piano is so delicate and passionate, I could listen to you all day, all day long
Y saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela, donde ganó su "Momo de Oro" que con tanto cariño recuerda y donde tocó en Santa Rosa,Av Libertador...Yo soy de ahí y de niño tuve la gran bendición de verlo tocar y estar casi a su lado en esa tarima, ya que uno de los encargados de la seguridad de aquella época me "adoptó" y me cumplió el sueño de verlo bien cerca por ser niño,era la única forma de poder ver entre tanto adulto. Tengo ese privilegio.Saludos por siempre.
Maintenance guy I work with, Puerto Rican philly guy, put me onto Eddie Palmieri after I told him I play piano. Said his mother was obsessed with the guy and would drag him and his brothers to his shows.
By far, my favorite Latin Music performer ....BUT..since I am 76, born in Puerto Rico, and have followed Puerto Rican music for at least 66 yrs....I have my reservations in calling him the BEST PUERTO RICAN musician ever" > Rafael Hernandez revolutionized Latin Music in Puerto Rico, Cuba, & NYC! His compositions are considered almost Hymns ..and at the same time even cubans thought he was cuban due to his Mastery with cuban rhythms! He performed in Puerto rico, Cuba and Mexico. In the latter he filmed movies when mexico's cinema was among the best in the world! > Noro Morales, who was Charlie & Eddie's idol, e predecesor since he was the Best pianist in Puerto Rico, became another truly accomplished musician, composer, pianist, arranger, band director and a Master of Latin Music. His Mambo playing style was unique and Charlie Palmieri's guide into the Latin Music Scene. >Tito Rodriguez, Singer, Timbalero, arranger, band director surpassed even Tito Puente in every artistic capacity related to Latin Music. Also born in Puerto Rico, but became an international star since he was a natural Bolero singer while at the same time arranged some of the firerest Mambos. He had his own TV Guest Show where he presented top rated American Jazz performers and fused their music with the Latino Rhythms!These are just a few, but there is one more..who you have probably have never heard of! He was the BEST Classical Music Baritone in the world. He did not play for the masses , since he would play exclusively for Counts, Queens, Princesses and the European King's Courts across that continent! At a time, he stopped singing opera, and became a Heavy Weight boxer and beat everyone. Hence, since there was no more competition in boxing, he went back to singing Opera! Mario Lanza, the Italian Tenor, co owned The Great CARNEGIE HALL Theater, and he blocked Puerto Rican Tenor -Antonio Paoli from performing in his theater since he perceived Paoli as a stiff competition...Since Paoli was considered The Best
To me Eddie is the greatest, yes i love the Titos, Machito, Arsenio Rodriquez, and even el Gran Combo, but Eddie is special, he changed latin music. The trombone sound, the super long solo, not only piano but percussion as well. He was ahead in the curve for 10-15 years by the time he recorded Pa'hueler. who do you think Willie Colon was imitating? Hector admitted so, during an interview. Richie Ray once said, we had to get it going, there was Eddie Palmieri, I have heard many other musicians say you needed to progress with your sound, because, there was an Eddie Palmieri around, and we needed to sound better. Eddie's sound on the album Super Imposition, was greater than anything the fania All Star put together, just peak through this album, and check the super band he was able to assemble for that recording, that in itself was a Super Fania!!! Eddie is a genius like no other, I do respect many, but Eddie was in a class and category by himself.
Well, he inherited the trombone influences from Mon Rivera, a guy from Mayagüez. I agree though, that most of what he did was far better and of superior quality than most of what Fania did, for several reasons. First, besides the outlier in the Fania group, Willie Colón, most of the Fania artists merely actualized or upgraded cuban music. Willie Colón was different in that he really and concretely mixed the cuban music that was adapted in New York by Puerto Ricans before him and mixed it with rythms as diverse as Aguinaldo Puertorriqueño, Bombas and Plenas, Música Jíbara and even some brazilian influences. Eddie, on the other hand, always added an extra influence from Jazz and his music was always progressive, embodying the true spirit of what the concept of Salsa should be, a progrssive and open ended musical approach where different genres and rythms can come together in the same song in a different manner each time. That was his greatness and in my opinion, Colon´s as well, granted the former had much more academic depth than the latter. Saludos de un boricua!
De ese trabajo resalta “Revolt/La Libertad Lógico”. ¿Es precisamente una protesta por las condiciones de los latinos en NY? “Sí. Una descripción de los problemas que se vivían por entonces en las calles del barrio. Había mucha tensión. Yo escribí ese tema después de conversar con un periodista venezolano, Francisco Luna, en Caracas. Yo pregunté ¿cuál será el heredero de Justicia? (canción y LP de 1969), y él respondió: -La libertad, lógico”.
I grew up listening to salsa like every cocolo's son. Before graduating from sound engineer I work at private party where Palmieri was gonna play. Lo saludé y le dije: "oye yo pensé que eras percusionista". 😂 Miró a todos a su alrededor como que "y este pendejo que? ¿no sabe quien soy? Me dió la espalda y un rato mas tarde lo vimos tocar con atención solo lo ingenieros, los demas se quedaron bochinchando...
If we support crap musicians like Anderson Pak we will only get more of them promoted by organisations who distribute the artform. Very few musicians have the divine touch.
Sorry not sorry to say what I think: just release the sustain pedal already, the piano sounds too harsh, the playing is not very smooth, and what the hell is the sound at 1:10?! Also, lazy circle of fifths
art is formless and serves to resonate with things that are abstract like soul and individuality; not as some mathematical confirmation of your identity as an artist.
It depends what you listen to. Jazz, contemporary classical, or classical? If you listen to the first two I don't see why this performance would bother you much.
Hugh Janus clearly u have never heard what I like to call jazz moans. It's a step beyond jazz face where the soul and feels are just in the face but are so strong u gotta make some noise
He's one of the best, his musical career is impeccable and his brother Charlie is looking down proudly.
One of the things that make Eddie Palmieri one of the greatest musicians ever is how one moment he gives you this Beutifull piano Solo that you can close your eyes and even meditate to and the next moment he has you dancing Rumba totally Amazing 🙌
I’m from Mexico in 2010 I saw Eddie live in San Diego California amazing show will never forget.

Palmieri es el abuelo que toda la humanidad quisiera tener. Tremendas manos rozadas por Dios
EL MEJOR. Imposible que no se te escape una lagrima. Sentimiento puro, gran maestro
gorgeous- first song reminds me of so many New York streets, glistening in the early morning rain...
His music makes me feel nostalgic. Reminds me of my Grandfather who passed away years ago. He was also Puerto Rican, grew up in the gritty streets of Brooklyn.
he didn't get thrown off by their off beat clapping my man, the Master Palmieri!
Off beat clapping? That’s not off beat clapping, it’s called clave. Go google it so you can have an understanding of what is going on in the music.

Almost 80 when this aired...has given me a new interest in his music.
He has had several big salsa bands - with the best instrumentalists.
Mi héroe.
And believe what I say: he was just warming up with that Revolt/La Libertad, Lógico version.
Papa Palmieri rules! ❤️
Certified living legend!! So fantastic that he stopped by the Tiny DeskA
Yep, you got it! I see that Chick Corea & Gary Burton have also played ta set for Tiny Desk....
He always said he's a frustrated drummer which is why he beats the keys with his soul!🇵🇷 Gracias Maestro!

Your piano is so delicate and passionate, I could listen to you all day, all day long
His classical background is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this solo performance. Truly a jewel.
Una joya del maestro.

One of the best pianists in history.
What a beautiful treat!
Amazing❤
Nice !! There is a version of "The Persian Scale" called "La Gitana" on the "listen here!" album
Una leyenda insuperable!
Pure genius and such a humble fellow. He always has had a professor in him.
So cool, so amazing.

merci pour ce grand moment. À quand un concert en France ? :)
palmieri the master!
I´m from Venezuela and it would be great to know the name of the writer who helped Mr.Palmieri to get the inspiration for writing La Libertad.
De ese trabajo resalta “Revolt/La Libertad Lógico”. ¿Es precisamente una protesta por las condiciones de los latinos en NY?
“Sí. Una descripción de los problemas que se vivían por entonces en las calles del barrio. Había mucha tensión. Yo escribí ese tema después de conversar con un periodista venezolano, Francisco Luna, en Caracas. Yo pregunté ¿cuál será el heredero de Justicia? (canción y LP de 1969), y él respondió:

wow those piano jazz versions
Genial
GOAT
excellent
Is there any school in Ny, that follows Mr palmieri's music style, either for adults or children?
Elia Palmieri music is complex and one would have to get in to the roots of this music in order to appreciated it.
13.16 track ID please 🙏
That second song is so awesome it should have been in the Joker Movie 👌
He is definitly EL RUMBERO DEL PIANO
🤩
Nice tu michiu
Love it besides the throat sounds
That's one of his trademarks while he plays.
Keith Jarret does it as well, and it gives music a special sense of interaction between the player and his instrument.

1st song
Iriaida
"Envejece el cuerpo, pero no las melodías"- Joseph Francs DaScience
Am I imagining things, or is he doing overtones with his voice.
Chad Wollenberg he is. its one of his trademarks
Yes he does this alot. You can even hear it in his albums
so much better the Anderson Pak. He is woeful
Is that really most constructive thing you could say on this page? Respect music. Period.

Playing drums and singing is really difficult. Fucking respect for this guy that isn't related to this video and I never heard of until now.
why the comparison at all? live and let live.

and for the record you linked to what i consider to be one of the most beautiful parts of the performance.
yet I dont know your name ... so he must be doing something good
It depends what you listen to. Jazz, contemporary classical, or classical? If you listen to the first two I don't see why this performance would bother you much.
HAHA funniest comment I've read in a long time. Criticizing a true master of latin music and latin jazz on how he should play the piano.
whys he make those weird groaning noises. i cant appreciate the music when i feel like im in a dungeon hearing an old guy groan
Hugh Janus clearly u have never heard what I like to call jazz moans. It's a step beyond jazz face where the soul and feels are just in the face but are so strong u gotta make some noise
