Description
Eddie Palmieri, who sadly passed away in 2025, is considered one of the best pianists and arrangers of salsa and Latin jazz of the last 60 years, his playing skilfully combined the rhythms of his Puerto Rican homeland with the complexity of his jazz influences, such as Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner. The album 'Sueno', produced by Kip Hanrahan, was originally released in 1989 and is one of Palmieri's more introspective and harmonically rich projects. The album seamlessly blends salsa and Latin jazz with modern jazz elements and features an outstanding line-up of musicians such as David Sanborn, Brian Lynch and Francisco Aguabella. Tracks such as 'Azucar' (a reinterpreted classic) and 'Just a Little Dream' once again showcase Palmieris genius for composition and improvisation. 'Sueno' has been remastered in excellent quality by Intuition Music for the Master Series, highlighting the album's multi-layered arrangements and rhythmic complexity. This reissue honours Palmieri's musical legacy and underscores the timelessness of his sound.
