Join us for an all-star 90th birthday celebration honoring the legacy of pianist, arranger, and composer Eddie Palmieri (1936–2025) and his lifelong devotion to Afro-Caribbean music and jazz. Fittingly known as “The Sun of Latin Music,” Palmieri was a Puerto Rican visionary whose journey through the Afro-diaspora reshaped the sound of Latin jazz and salsa. His longtime collaborators—saxophonist Louis Fouché and bassist Luques Curtis—music direct a star-studded lineup of Palmieri alumni, including Hermán Olivera, Brian Lynch, Donald Harrison, Conrad Herwig, Jimmy Bosch, Nelson González, and Alfredo de la Fé, alongside guests Chief Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott), Louis Cato, PHER, and more, to showcase his music across the decades.
