A Tribute to Eddie Palmieri
Renowned Latin Jazz artists including trumpeter Ray Vega and members of Palmieri's band will take the stage to celebrate “El Maestro” and pass the torch to the talented emerging artists of the Purchase Latin Jazz Orchestra – an ensemble made up of top students from the Purchase College Conservatory of Music.
Palmieri himself will be in attendance, participating as a judge for the Purchase College Latin Jazz Festival during the day, and saying a few words during the evening concert.
A dazzling pianist whose technique incorporates bits and pieces from everyone from McCoy Tyner to Herbie Hancock and recycles them through a dynamic Latin groove, Eddie Palmieri has been a Latin jazz and salsa institution for the past 60 years.
Presented in collaboration with the Purchase College Conservatory of Music, as part of the Purchase College Latin Jazz Festival. This engagement is supported by The Audience Building Project, a program of the Lake Placid Center for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts with support from the Governor and New York State Legislature.
