"Remember that our music is the most exciting and complex, and it puts you to dance, not to sleep!", Mr. Palmieri declared! Last week I had the greatest honor of meeting the incredible Maestro, musical genius and cultural icon, Eddie Palmieri, ahead of his performance at Keystone Korner. Words cannot describe how incredibly honored I was to have the privilege of meeting him. Not only did he share so many precious stories and memories, Mr. Palmieri spoke of how Aristotle influenced his work, the importance of socially conscious music and his studies with Bob Bianco. More than anything, I was truly honored by his kind words of encouragement. This was a truly unforgettable experience for me! Listen to this incredible conversation with a true musical genius! 

Special words of thanks to Aurora Flores and Eddie Palmieri II for making this happen!
