In his more than 50 years as a bandleader of salsa and Latin jazz orchestras, Palmieri has garnered nine Grammy Awards, including the first-ever Grammy for best Latin recording. Single note lines contrasted with explosive clusters. Soaring percussion. A unique ability to fuse jazz influences with the pulse of his Puerto Rican heritage. These are the trademarks of his improvisational brilliance.
