| Celebration of Eddie Palmieri
|
Jerry Ough celebrates the magnificent musical legacy of Eddie Palmieri from 5-7am Eddie Palmieri, a pianist, composer and bandleader whose contributions to Afro-Caribbean music helped usher in the golden age of salsa in New York City, and whose far-reaching career established him as one of the great musical masterminds of the 20th century — not to mention one of its fieriest performers — died on Wednesday Aug 6, 2025 at his home in Hackensack, N.J. He was 88. Mr. Palmieri never stopped performing and recording. In his last decades he split his efforts between a Latin jazz octet; La Perfecta II, a revival of his original band; and the full-size Salsa Orchestra, featuring the vocalist Hermán Olivera. With his spongelike memory and curious, critical mind, he also never stopped seeking out knowledge of the roots and shoots of his music.
As he told the Smithsonian in 2012, “I try constantly to get even more information,” and to pass it on to the public. “Whenever I am able to relate, I do, because it’s so important, our genre. I love it so much. It put the world to dance.” Eddie Palmieri Presente!
