Finishing a yearlong celebration to mark his 75th birthday, Grammy Award–winning pianist and NEA Jazz Master Eddie Palmieri, last at the Kennedy Center for the 2011 NPR's A Jazz Piano Christmas, brings his Latin jazz band to perform "Latinized" jazz standards and original works in a swinging session certain to bring the house down. A legend in his own right, Palmieri "effortlessly links the salsa dura of his 1960s heyday to hard bop and beyond" (The Guardian).
Performance Timing: 75 minutes, with no intermission.
