Join Jazz at Lincoln Center for an all-star concert honoring the lifelong devotion of pianist, arranger and composer Eddie Palmieri (1936–2025) to Afro-Caribbean music and jazz. Fittingly known as “The Sun of Latin Music,” Palmieri was a Puerto Rican visionary whose journey through the Afro-diaspora reshaped the sound of Latin jazz and salsa. His longtime collaborators—saxophonist Louis Fouché and bassist Luques Curtis—music direct a star-studded lineup of Palmieri alumni, including Brian Lynch, Conrad Herwig, Herman Olivera, Nelson Gonzalez, and more, to showcase his music across the decades.
Join before the performance at 6:30 p.m. for a pre-concert lecture and gain deeper insight into the music and artists featured in the concert.
