 EDDIE PALMIERI with HARLEM RIVER DRIVE/ LIVE AT SING SING
Playing for the toughest of crowds imaginable--the inmates of New York's notorious Sing-Sing prison--Palmieri and band tore through an ambitious and aggressive set of funky salsa tunes that had the guards dancing in their towers.
This, after all, was THEIR music, and anybody familiar with the condition of America and its prisons in the early 70s (remember Attica!) can understand why the aggressive rhythms of Palmieri resonated so deeply with the incarcerated audience at Sing-Sing.
The album closes out with Eddie Palmieri's supergroup Harlem River Drive joining in on the album's funkiest track, "Azucar." Harlem River Drive was the first group to really merge fl and Latin styles and musicians, resulting in a freewheeling fusion of salsa, funk, soul, and jazz.
