The Puerto Rican pianist/bandleader Eddie Palmieri has reigned as "The Sun of Latin Music" for fifty years. He innovated salsa music with his two-trombone La Perfecta groups, and his propulsive piano style combines McCoy Tyner's power and Thelonious Monk's dark, chordal shadings. On this CD, Palmieri is backed by his long-time combo, augmented by special guest stars. Six of the ten tracks were written by the maestro, including the evocative trio track, "La Gitana" with guitarist John Scofield. But the highlights of this date are Palmieri's sizzling takes on four jazz classics. The Dizzy Gillespie hit "Tin Tin Deo" is signatured by David Sanchez's Latin-tempoed tenor. Monk's "In Walked Bud," dances with a Palladium-era pulse. Horace Silver's "Nica's Dream" is graced by violinist Regina Carter's sparkling strings and Nicholas Payton's neoclassic trumpet tones. The Eddie Harris-penned title track, with Michael Brecker's Traneish solo and Christian McBride's bold basslines, shows why Mr. Palmieri's recording represents the finest in Afro-Cubop. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Customer Reviews:

Big Full Latin Jazz Sound.......2006-10-15

A quick sampling of the openning track 'In Flight' and you will be hooked. If you are still on the fence about buying this album try the title cut 'Listen Here'. If these two tunes alone do not have you purchasing the album you may have a hole in your soul. This album swings and is great from front to back. Big latin jazz sound with excellent percussions, swinging horn arrangements and Eddie's pianio bring it all together and driving it forward. There is a reason why the man has won seven GRAMMY's. I love this album. If you like jazz or just music with a beat you will not be disappointed.

Fabulous Latin Jazz.......2006-03-26

This is my favorite Latin Jazz album to date. It is true that this is not the typical tropical big band sound. However, if you like variety (the first track includes jazz violin) and sheer musical talent, you should at least listen to the album samples.

Maravilloso reencuentro con el jazz.......2006-01-14

Para muchos, la inesperada vuelta de Palmieri al jazz latino, dejando un poco de lado los ritmos salseros y rumberos, pero sin alejarse demasiado de sus sonidos caribeños más característicos. Es, sin lugar a dudas, una obra maestra del jazz afrocubano y de lo mejor que ha dado este género en los últimos años. Además, cuenta con maravillosas colaboraciones que hacen de este album un disco inolvidable e indispensable para cualquier amante del buen jazz.

Matrícula de Honor para Listen Here y Nica's Dream

SIn lugar a dudas el mejor album de Eddie en los últimos años, incluso mejor que "master piece" con el gran Tito Puente. Con un sonido muy latin-jazz os encantará a todos.

Listen Here to Eddie's Best "Latin Jazz".......2005-09-22

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 suprised[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! Reccommended.

The original title of Tito Puente's final album was Por Fin --"Finally"--a reference to the fact that Puente and fellow Latin-jazz titan Eddie Palmieri never had recorded together, despite Puente's work with pianist Palmieri's brother Charlie early in their careers. Obra Maestra--"Masterpiece"--however, is an equally apt description for this set of a dozen mostly uptempo performances recorded shortly before Puente's death in May of this year. While engaging in the infectious dance rhythms and perfectly calibrated, often blaring, ensemble horn statements you'd expect, the group also revels in the many shades of subtlety inherent in the arrangements. Two medleys of mariachis and boleros are especially fine-tuned, and it's gratifying also to hear the rest of the players make room for Palmieri's immaculately off-kilter solo on "Marchando Bien." Puente himself is as sizzling as ever, although he seems content to throw in his lot with the rhythm section, basking once more in the glorious sound. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Masterpiece indeed.......2002-12-06

It is dangerous to use a word such as "masterpiece", for it easealy could be abused. The use in this case is more than justified. This is a historical recording musicaly, in its lyrics and arraingments. A must have CD!

Not exactly a masterpiece.......2002-10-24

The sound sounded like it was too polished. I did not like the arangements. It contains an interesting mariachi-salsa popular song(La negra). I don't think this was his best most refulgent recording. A good cd but I would not give it 5 stars. In my opinion his last live recording under his name was 5 stars. Eddie Palmieri was not even on the cd. Ok, he was but it seemed like it. Michael Stuart surprised me with that bolero. excellent voice!. All in all a good cd to have in a collection.

Tito & Eddie combined ... It doesn't get better than this .........2002-06-10

In an album that makes justice to it's title, the two "maestros" waited much too long to give us such a vibrant, masterpice recording. The collaboration of latin legends Oscar de Leon (vocals in Mariachi Meddley and Paris Mambo), Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez (singing Marchando Bien) and Paquito D' Rivera as well as the frantic melodic arranges by Puente, Palmieri and Ray Santos make this CD a "must have" for all latin jazz & salsa lovers. Unfortunately, Mr Puente did not live to see this album hit the stands ...

Obra Maestra.......2002-01-16

This is really a wonderful album. If you're a true aficionado, you'll get right up and start to dance. If you're not, you may soon become one. There are some truly spectacular tunes here. Enjoy!

Often Brilliant, occasionally mundane.......2001-11-18

I have to admit that i've just recently come to the world of Salsa and Latin Jazz in particular. So I must admit that I may not be the best critic of these two legendary artists or this compilation in particular.

But I have to say that the revelation has been utterly joyous. Salsa music is just absolutely phenomenal. Check out spinner.com : The Salsa station and be reborn.

This collaboration is quite satisfying but does at times disappoint. The majority of the cuts are up tempo (flavorful) and infectious. You'd be hard pressed not to tap either your hands or your feet during most of it. But there are a few tracks that are uninspiring but certainly tolerable.

I would offer though that I have heard other material from both artists that is absolutely phenomenal. So you can't really go wrong here. Buy it!

Album Description

Part of Snapper Music's reissue series for one of the world's leading Latin labels throughout the 70s, Coco Records. Eddie Palmieri is one of the most influential & charismatic figures on today's Latin scene, renowned for his fiery piano solos, hence the nickname, 'Hard Hands'. During the seventies he recorded several highly-regarded albums for Coco in which he successfully blended raw salsa & experimentation. Palmieri's most successful Coco album was 'The Sun Of Latin Music'. Released in 1974, it won the Grammy Award for the best Latin recording in 1975. It also marked the debut of the remarkable singer/songwriter Lalo Rodriguez, merely 16 years of age at the time & the writer of one of the album's highlights, 'Deseo Salvaje' ('Savage Desires').

Customer Reviews:

Excellent musicians on this Palmieri album.......2005-03-05

This album features excellent trumpet solos by Victor Paz and the always powerful trombone playing of Barry Rogers. Add to the mix the solid and steady percussion of Nicky Marrero on timbales, Eladio Perez on conga, and Tommy "Chuckie" Lopez on bongo. Eddie also takes some killer solos, as usual.

Still the Sun.......2002-06-25

Eddie Palmieri is one of my favorite musicians of all time. His ability to blend traditional afro-Cuban rythms and traditional is jazz is brilliant. All of the cuts on this album are great and deserve great admiration from any Latin jazz fan. I highly recommend it to all.

Palmieri still king.......2002-06-22

Eddie Palmieri, a pioneer of Latin Jazz is at his best on this work. This is one of his original works and I still love it. His Afro-Cuban roots are more apparent than ever on this work. A must have for any Latin Jazz fan, or anyone who just wants to groove.

Eddie Palmieri: poderoso senor del piano.......2001-11-23

Eddie Palmieri is Eddie palmieri is Eddie Palmieri. The Lord. The Piano Man. The orchesta riffs, the sweaty and hell-fast bongo player (his name's Choki). The singer. Pardon me: the sirene-wailing singer. Lalo Rodriguez "la trepa en la China" (an expression for salsa climaxes). This CD is a classic. Well, it won a Grammy!

Eddie's new begining.......2000-11-20

This is Eddie's first post "La Perfecta Orchestra" days where Eddie uses an unusually large and variable brass section; trumpets,t-bones, saxs, tubas, flutes and french horns. That and his great rhythm section provides excellent tumbaos and marvelous solos. The 16 year old Lalo Rodriguez really show the salsa world he was here to stay. Eddie's "Nada de ti" has to be one of the greatest salsa songs ever recorded. Everybody gets down on this one. This is without question one of Eddie's five best recordings.

An Absolutely must have....Latin/Jazz album of considerable brilliance!!!.......2006-06-23

If (Like me), you're only familiar will Eddie Palmieri (or "Charlie Palmieri"), via either's solo work, this will come as something as a slight shock, recorded originally in back in the 70's with a full band, This recording has been given a new lease of life, by the recent re-release of this seminal cd. This has the opportunity of inticing a new slew of fans, such is the brilliantly performed and arranged material here, that anyone with a passing interest in Latin, Funk, and Afro-Cuban Jazz, simply must check this out.

The Running time is only a partly 30 mins, but such complaints do prove to be somewhat redundant, as one listen to the performances contained here, will make such quibbles regarding its length seem foolish. This is the perfect example of the sound of Latin Americans migrating to North America, and becoming influenced by ther new surroundings and forming groups, and then performing/recording expressive and passionate music that not only touches upon the roots of latin music, but sounds like it was influenced by Black music such and R&B and early Soul. Because there is so much energy, modal musical shapes, rhythmic precision and melodic arrangements, that it's truly a wonder that this Cd, hasn't had the widespread recognition and praises heaped upon it, like some of the more universally recognised Jazz/Latin albums out there.

The Percussion throughout is sublime, and it highlights Eddie & Charlie's composition and arrangement skills to the fore, and if you've never given Eddie's (or indeed Charlies) other work the time of day, then I assure you, after listening to this staggering work, you'll certainly be inclined to seek out more of their work. As it takes on an almost experimental and improvisational feeling, moving effortlessly from mood, groove, feel and texture. multi-dimensional percussion sections, coupled with brass-heavy horn sections, and carefree guitar and ethereal keyboard work. Not that this album is anything less than accessible, which it frequently is...it's just that, this feels like a Special moment in time, when all the musicians are perfectly in synch with each other and remain musically locked into each other then and are Instinctually feeding off each other, you should take this opportunity to hear a exceptional one-off spectaclular performance, fron a band that would never (seemingly) follow up this landmark album. And it's a classic, not just purely for how breathtaking brilliant it was, but also for the fact that some 30 years later, it still sounds as innovative and essential as it did in the 70's. A must have release

A dancer's paradise.......2006-10-13

El Sonido Nuevo, is a smoker from the very first track, with intense hot salsa and cool jazz. For this session, Cal Tjader and bassist Bobby Rodriguez joined up with Palmieri and La Perfecta, to create a new unit with a new sound. The cd's opening track, "Los Jibaros " starts off with a chunkier than usual mambo theme, which Tjader spices up in his vibes solo set. He plays to the trombone section and quickly gets into a call and response dialogue with them. "Ritmo Uni" begins with the grooving bass of Bobby Rodriguez, who is then joined by the feverish rhythms of Palmieri's always cooking percussion and brass sections, all of which combine to create a hypnotic, funky, montuno vibe that perfectly underpins Tjader's superb solo. The song prematurely fades out after a scant three minutes. Thankfully, the producers allowed the tape to run on "Picadillo," a hard-driving 7-minute exploration of Tito Puente's mambo classic. Palmieri reaches deep inside his Nuyorican soul to unleash a long, climactic piano solo filled with echoes of McCoy Tyner, Thelonious Monk, and Bud Powell. The band moves in heated rhythm behind him, playing with just the right amount of restraint, heightening the intensity of Palmieri's inspired solo. Tjader is given just the push he needs to take his playing one step beyond, and trombonist Barry Rogers brings it all home with his wide open solo. "Modesty," the theme to the now forgotten film Modesty Blaise, is a kitchy throwback to the groovy days of the Mod `60s, when men dressed like Austin Powers and actually looked cool (if only for a minute). "Unidos" opens with a mean Palmieri solo played with a thick Cuban accent. George Castro glides across the uptempo beat, serving up some funky Latin flute. Tjader swings pleasantly enough on the album's most inappropriate selection, the Broadway standard "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever." A decent enough track in its own right, but it was somebody's bad call to put it on the album (don't blame the Latin soul brothers for that one,... QUE!!? ...It wasn't me man!!). But the best is saved for last, and all the stops are pulled on the album's title cut, "El Sonido Nuevo." Loosely structured and jamming, it is on this track that all of the talents of the assembled players came together, producing a blazing masterpiece of Latin-jazz improvisation.

The power of the original vinyl release is diluted by the six enjoyable but rather lightweight bonus tracks mindlessly tacked on to the end of the Verve CD reissue. There has got to be outtakes of this session in the Verve music vaults somewhere. The reissue could surely have added value if it at least included the full and unedited versions of the songs, without all those irritating commerical fade-outs. Nevertheless, the musical meeting of Tjader and Palmieri produced a new soul sound that was a hugely influential precursor to salsa. El Sonido Nuevo.....Oh Yeah!!

A young beardless Palmieri.......2005-03-01

If you are looking for some true Latin Jazz roots music, than look no further. This is no doubt a classic in the field of Latin Jazz , bringing together two of the most talented pioneers and prolific players of their era. Featuring the fiery Eddie Palmiera on piano and Cal Tjader on vibes, this disc is a knockout. The two leaders play in unison as one voice on this set of Latin rhythms, one leading the other into a series of improvisational dancing grooves. On this disc you get all the original material with Rudy Van Gelder doing the engineering plus many songs not featured on the original recording from 1966. The disc can go from soft, slow, lush vibraphone led melodies and switch to quick , uptempo, percussion syncopated beats that sizzle. The percussion work is smoking and results in some bouncy music. Some highlights include Eddie Palmieri leading on "Unidos," setting the high standard for the fellow band members to match which eventually they do. Palmieri's banging on the white keys gives way to Tjaders vibes smoother than a baton pass by a Gold Medal winning Olympic athelete. Like a race relay team, each band member hands off the lead flawlessly resulting in a classic song and a winner. Like many jazz bands from the sixties that wanted a piece of the pop market this disc features a familiar melody in the song, "On a Clear Day." Recorded by many different artists during that decade(check out Billy Pauls version) this song sounds out of place on the disc, although it was "Latinized " on this version. The pairing of Palmieri and Tjader works best on songs like "Picadillo, " "El Sonido Nuevo" and "Los Jibaros. " This disc has a Cuban feel to it and is most evident on songs like "Los Jibaros" where the Afro rhythms make you want to move. Or take the very traditional Cuban sounding "Guijira en Azul" where the Cuban folk rhythms dominate and make you want to dance even if you're sitting. In terms of a historical snapshot it shows the early influence of Latin jazz on future generations of musicians. This is a beautiful collection of music for anyone that likes Latin Jazz. Recommended for Latin Jazz fans.

A true classic!.......2004-11-17

This is one of the best (latin) jazz albums I have ever heard and my favorite Cal Tjader album. I absolutely love this album.

The birth of Latin Jazz........2003-11-01

This was truly a milestone in Latin music history as this legendary album gave birth to the Latin Jazz style. It features Ismael Quintana on lead vocals and should be considered an indispensable CD for any salsa, jazz or Latin Jazz afficionado. La Perfecta was truly one of the greatest New York salsa bands of all time.

An old time Tjader Fan.......1999-11-21

This is a fine collaborative work with one of the monster latin artists, Eddie Palmieri . They do it again on the album " Bamboleate ". Check out the piano playing on " Picadillo " ! That's one guy playing !

This is one of the best examples of true Salsa I have ever heard. You can dance to it(Un Puesto Vacante, Adoracion, etc. just to name a couple) or groove to the deep lyrics of the boleros(Deseo Salvaje, No Pienses Asi). You will not be disappointed in this album. It is money VERY well spent. Enjoy!!!!!

Pure Gold.......2003-05-09

I have had this since it was on vinyl. My only complaint about it on vinyl was that whenever I would lend it to anybody, I would never get it back. I wound up buying 5 copies of it on vinyl. I waited for years for it to appear in CD format. There is not a second of filler on this disc. All the songs are superior. The soloists are of the highest caliber in Salsa or any other form of music for that matter. Quintana and Rodriguez add excellent vocals on their respective tracks. Find it, but it, love it, thank me later.

This is the album that no one should miss out on. Because of it's raw style and flowing vocals, I would call this the best album of the decade. There is no CD like it

One of the grand masters of the Latin jazz piano, Eddie Palmieri has had little new material, but more than makes up for it with this major release. Palmieri shows all the new kids in the Latin world just how it should be done with the energy and vitality of a teenager. In short, Rumbero del Piano kicks from start to finish as he rips into standards and original compositions. Somewhat the Afro Latin scholar, Palmieri has chosen his material carefully to include son montuno, bomba, and plena within the big band salsa lexicon. His piano solos, jagged slashes of color over rock steady rhythms, sear the paint off the walls in the process. Palmieri has never been in better form. --Derek Rath

Customer Reviews:

No me gustaría ser piano de Eddie.......2005-09-29

Para mí es el mejor album de Eddie. El tumbao del piano es magnífico. Aporrea el piano con guante de seda, es una contradicción pero es así. A destacar dos versiones, "Malagueña salerosa" y "Ne me quites pas". No puede faltar en una salsoteca que se precie.

El Rumbero del Piano... ¡Y no hay otro!.......2004-06-10

I run in a small circle of salseros puros from many different generations. Ask any of them and they will tell you that Eddie Palmieri is the best. I can't forget Papo Luca, but that's a different review. You can't beat the old school classic salsa. That's plain and simple. But everything in context.
At the time this album came out, circa 1998, it was a breath of fresh air for all of us salsa aficionados. Musicians, dancers, aficionados alike. This album pays tribute to many roots of música latina. Not only the bomba and plena from Puerto Rico, but see also Malagueña Salerosa (previously of Los Panchos).
For everything this album is; arrangements, lyrical content, vocal guests, and, of course, Eddie; this is one of my all time favorite ablums in my collection - all genres included.
His best all time album? I don't know.
His best current album? Definitely.

Not his best, but a must purchase for his fans.......2003-12-10

Eddie may never again achieve the pinnacle he attained in his days with Barry Rogers; nonetheless, this album is likely to please his fans. It certainly did this one. I think a notable point in the album is with the very first cut, Sube. After a rather pedestrian introduction, so typical of what passes for Salsa today, the orchestra is temporarily suspended while a piano montuno builds tension, signaling the transition to vintage New York Latin music. For the rest of the number, the veteran Salsa aficionado is on familiar ground and all is once more well with the Latin music scene.

Eddie's triumphant return to "Salsa Dura"........2003-09-22

This is Eddie's first salsa CD since 1987's "The Truth/ La Verdad" and it is chock-full of swinging, searing-hot salsa and Latin jazz. How refreshing to find a CD like this one at a time when salsa romantica rules. This is what real salsa music is all about.

Timbale class 101.......2003-04-28

I'm African American from LA. I'm also a timbalero. I've spent some time New York in my life (Bronx, Brooklyn ). This album is must for percussionist and lovers of "Jazz Latino" and yes it's a staple for my collection. I practice to all numbers on this album and come off confident to play any gig!! What's unique is that Eddie pays homage to the sounds of the Bomba y Plena a dance found in Puerto Rico among Black Puerto Ricans(Cubans as well) I saw this in the pueblo called Loiza, Puerto Rico wile visting some friends. Eddie keeps it real. The brass and rythms sections are infectious as well as his piano playng!!. Eddie, I miss Charlie your brother along with "El Rey" Tito Puente!! hey folks order it you will not be disapointed!!! Thanks Amazon.com
