Mr. Palmieri has the ability to fuse the rhythms of his Puerto Rican heritage with the jazz influences of Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner made him an immediate hit when he played New York’s Palladium Ballroom in the 1950s and ’60s. He has continued to roll on with stylistic innovations over the years, creating classic Tico albums and later mixing salsa with R&B, pop, rock, Spanish vocals and more jazz improvisation. Mr. Palmieri celebrated an amazing 50-year career in 2005, he as a professional musician, revolutionized the sound of Latin music, an accomplishment that would ensure his place in the music pantheon.
