About La Perfecta II
Amazon.com After bursting onto the Latin-music scene in the early '60s, Eddie Palmieri has spent the last four decades exploring Afro-Caribbean music, garnering a shelf-load of Latin Jazz Grammys along the way. La Perfecta II mixes the excitement of his early innovations in salsa, charange, mambo, and other idioms with the wide sonic spectrum of the modern recording studio. Exuding warmth and clarity, Palmieri's album mixes five older pieces with six new ones. The album takes its name from his La Perfecta ensemble, which disbanded in 1968. This reconvening, with a set of younger musicians, is based on fortuitous happenstance, as was the original band's chance encounter between Palmieri and the late Barry Rogers. Palmieri's delight in potent arrangements and compositions with ample room for improvisation sounds easy enough, but the ambitious change he brought to the music stills casts a long shadow today. This album is no mere rehashing, rather it is flush with its own vitality. --David Greenberger Product Description Revitalizing the music and sound of his influential 60's La Perfecta band, noted for it's signature blending of trombones and flute, salsa and latin jazz legend Eddie Palmieri at last presents the long-awaited new edition of this popular ensemble. Featuring energized new recordings of La Perfecta-era salsa and fiery new Latin jaz compositions, Eddie Palmieri's La Perfeta II is, in a word, perfect.
