	CD Review of Eddie Palmieri - La Perfecta II on Concord @ jazzreview.com
		For, as Palmieri says, “To perform [La Perfecta arrangements] would be nothing short of blasphemous.” And quite frankly, Palmieri felt that he had the perfect situation with Concord Records, which had accorded him the resources he felt that his music deserved.
		But Palmieri will have none of the feathery Impressionistic approach to his music, in spite of the ruminative and free trio approach to “Apeiron,” which is more of an ominous Rachmaninoff anger and decisive assertion than Debussy.
		Palmieri’s aggressive style, with a heavy keyboard touch, remains throughout all of the tracks on La Perfecta II, either making clear the clavé animating the piece or laying down chords of accompaniment behind his soloists.

	Berkeley Agency/Eddie Palmieri
		Eddie Palmieri's effusive personality and keenness for a wide range of historical, scientific and musical topics matches perfectly a career which has found him shaping his own agenda, jumping from structured dance records to free jazz.
		Eddie Palmieri has always embodied the jazz spirit of improvisation—doing things differently each time, never staying in the same place, and surrounding himself with unique personalities to perform his innovative, sui generis music.
		Palmieri also eschews the drums on "La Gitana" flamenco-blues played in trio with John Scofield (acoustic guitar) and Benitez that he interprets with exquisite nuance and on "Mira Flores" an extravagantly beautiful waltz on which he comps eloquently for Michael Brecker and Christian McBride.

		Eddie Palmieri, the thinking man's Latin jazzer, sat down and played a piano solo to start off, rambling in and out of a tune called "Lisa" in an introspective but compelling way that reminded you a lot of Duke Ellington: big rich chords and sweet, sinking modulations, only with a little bit more schmaltz.
		Palmieri, who started life as a drummer, lays down the time as though he's hearing some sort of atomic clock.
		Palmieri supplied that rhythmic banquet of his underneath it all and ended his chart with a darling Mozartian fillip in the coda.

		Eddie Palmieri has enjoyed a long career presenting Latin music to the United States and to the world.
