1 (born December 15, 1936) is a Grammy Award winning Puerto Rican pianist, bandleader and musician. He is the founder of the bands La Perfecta and La Perfecta II. Palmieri s parents migrated to New York from Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1926, and settled in the South Bronx, a largely Hispanic neighborhood. There he and his elder brother, the late Charlie Palmieri, were born. He would accompany Charlie and participate in many talent contests when he was eight years old. Palmieri continued his education in the city s public school system where he was constantly exposed to music, specifically jazz. He took piano lessons and performed at Carnegie Hall when he was 11 years old. His main influences were Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner. Inspired by his older brother, he was determined to someday form his own band something he achieved in 1950, when he was fourteen years old. During the 1950s, Palmieri played in various bands, including Tito Rodríguez s. In 1961, Palmieri founded the band Conjunto La Perfecta, which featured singer Ismael Quintana. Apart from the big bands, at the beginning of the

2 decade the Charanga was the Latin dance craze. Essential to the Charanga style is the five key wooden flute and at least two violins. Palmieri decided to replace the violins with two trombones for a heavier sound. Two key elements to the Palmieri sound were trombonists Barry Rogers (who was very influential to the fourth chords sound that Palmieri is known for) and Brazilian-born Jose Rodriguez. Together they were responsible for many of the head arrangements, mambos and monas that the band recorded. George Castro(flute), Manny Oquendo(bongo), Tommy Lopez(conga) and Andy Gonzalez/Dave Perez (bass) rounded out the group. To this day, the group is known as one of the swingingest, danceable, innovative and influential groups of that period. Palmieri experimented by including a touch of jazz in his recordings, and incorporating a popular Cuban rhythm known as mozambique. Lo Que Traigo Es Sabroso (What I Bring is Saucy) and Mozambique are just two examples of his use of this rhythm. Seeking a bigger and punchier sound, Palmieri disbanded the band in In 1971, Palmieri recorded Vamonos Pa l Monte (Let s go to the Hills) with his brother Charlie at the organ. That same year he also recorded Eddie

3 Palmieri & Friends in Concert, At the University of Puerto Rico. In 1974, Palmieri became the first Latin musician to win a Grammy Award for Best Latin Recording with The Sun of Latin Music (produced by Harvey Averne and (arranged by Rene Hernandez and Barry Rogers (Un Dia Bonito)). On July 21, 1979, he appeared at the Amandla Festival along with Bob Marley, Dick Gregory and Patti LaBelle, among others. In the 1980s, Ismael Quintana returned to the band, which also included Cheo Feliciano. Palmieri won two Grammys for the recordings of Palo Pa Rumba and Solito. He also recorded the album La Verdad (The Truth) with salsa singer Tony Vega in Next year the happiness of his success was set back by the sudden death of his brother, Charlie. In the 1990s, Palmieri had participated in various concerts and recordings with the Fania All-Stars and the Tico All-Stars; he also introduced La India with the production of Llegó La India via Eddie Palmieri (La India has arrived via ), released in In 2000, Palmieri announced his retirement from the world of music. However, he recorded Masterpiece with Tito Puente and won two Grammys; additionally he was also named the Outstanding Producer of the Year by the National Foundation of Popular Culture. Palmieri has won a total of 9 Grammy Awards in his career, most

4 recently for his 2006 album Simpático. On November 6, 2004, Palmieri directed a Big Band Tribute to his late brother Charlie at Avery Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.[1][3][2] La Perfecta Palmieri s La Perfecta departed from the traditional Caribbean sources of salsa instrumentation by introducing a new stylistic device into the New York Latin sound. Their signature sound relied heavily on two trombones and a flute instead of trumpets. On the liner notes of their first album, Eddie s brother Charlie dubbed this combination the trombanga, referring to the trombones and the still popular charanga which typically featured the flute [4][dead link]. The combination helped to give La Perfecta a rich and bold sound which contributed to Palmieri s success with his new band. The trombone-based sound was later adopted by salsa band leaders Willie Colón and Manny Oquendo, among others. Palmieri continues to be actively involved with music. He formed a new band, La Perfecta II, with whom he recorded the CD Ritmo Caliente (Hot Rhythm). On April 30, 2005, Mi Día Bonito, a tribute to celebrating his 50 years in the world of music, took place at the Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. The event included the participation of Lalo Rodriguez,

5 Ismael Quintana, Cheo Feliciano, La India, Hermán Olivera, Jerry Medina, Luis Vergara and Wichy Camacho. In November and December 2005, Palmieri teamed up with longtime trumpeter and band member Brian Lynch to record the share CD release The Brian Lynch/ Project: Simpático. This CD and accompanying multimedia web site features music by an all-star roster of jazz and Latin jazz artists, including Phil Woods, Lila Downs, Donald Harrison, Conrad Herwig, Giovanni Hidalgo, Gregory Tardy, Mario Rivera, Boris Kozlov, Rubén Rodríguez, Luques Curtis, Robby Ameen, Dafnis Prieto, Pedro Martinez, Johnny Rivero, Edsel Gomez, Yosvany Terry. In 2007, the recording was awarded a Grammy as the best Latin Jazz Recording. Back in the Studio Palmieri returned to the studio to record three songs for the soundtrack to Doin it in the Park: Pickup Basketball NYC. The documentary, co-directed by Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau explores the relationship between NYC playgrounds, basketball, arts and culture. The soundtrack, is Doin it in the Park, is available along with sneak peaks into the recording sessions at Palmieri s new multi-media site: Palmieri also released the soundtrack on vinyl; his

6 first vinyl release since the 1980s. The music recorded for the soundtrack will be part of Palmieri s next album, Sabiduria/Wisdom, to be released in Eddie recently received Hispanic Choice s The Living Legend Award 2013 and The Latin Grammy s The Latin Recording Academy s Lifetime Achievement Award Videos: Discography La Perfecta (1962) El Molestoso (1963) Lo Que Traigo es Sabroso, (1964) Echando Pa Lante (Straight Ahead) (1964) Azúcar Pa Ti (Sugar For You) (1965) Mambo Con Conga is Mozambique (1965) El Sonido Nuevo: The New Soul Sound (1966) (with Cal Tjader) Bamboleate (1967) (with Cal Tjader) Molasses (1967) Champagne (1968) Justicia (1969)
