Comments
Amazon.com In the liner notes to Palmas, New York salsa star
Eddie Palmieri complains that most Latin- jazz fusions lean too far
in one direction or another.
Either the jazz horn soloist stands alone like a singer,
a mere adjunct to a hot Latin dance band, or else a Latin percussionist
is added on like a fifth wheel to a self-contained jazz combo. Palmieri
wanted to achieve a more even blend of sounds, and here he has done
just that. First, he got rid of the singers and made this an all-instrumental
recording, with three jazz horn players seizing the space usually
occupied by the vocalist. Second, he hired three American jazzmen--Donald
Harrison, Brian Lynch, and Conrad Herwig--who were able to solo on
rhythm patterns as well as chord changes. Third, he balanced the horns
with four top percussionists--Richie Flores, Anthony Carrillo, Jose
Claussell, and Robbie Ameen--who refuse to compromise on the dense,
intricate beats of Afro-Cuban traditions. Forming the fulcrum between
these two sides is Palmieri himself, who not only wrote and produced
the seven tracks but also ties them together with the piano, which,
in his hands, is as much a percussion instrument as a melodic one.
