Salsa legend Eddie Palmieri brings together Old School Latin sounds with this exciting band of Jonathan Powell/tp, Louis Fouche’/as, Jeremy Powell/ts, Joe Fiedler/tb, Zaccai Curtis/p, Luques Curtis/b, Camilo Molina/timb-dr, Reinaldo De Jesus/cong and Marcos Lopez/bong. Palmieri himself sits in at the piano for the adventurous and modal “Picallo” and heavy punch of “Suite 176”. The horns job like a heavyweight on the Afro Cuban “ Mambo In” and slither to “Obsesion”. All throughout, the percussion and grooves rumble like Mt Vesuvius, just ready to boil over as on “Ran Kan Kan” or “Mambo Influenciado”. No cruise control on this Chevy V8!
