Today's Classic Jazz Corner... funky Palmieris!
The first recorded performances, in 1970, of Eddie and Charlie Palmieri as bandleaders, joining forces with a couple of Latinos that included Andy Gonzales, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and some white guys and taught them how to play a music that was equal parts Cuban Mambo, American Soul via Stax/Volt, Blues, Funkadelic-style Rock, Pop-Jazz, and harmonic and instrumental arrangements every bit as sophisticated as Burt Bacharach's or Henry Mancini's or even Stan Kenton's.
