We Say...
This may be the best and most jazz-oriented disc of Palmieri’s 50-year career. Listen to the horn section making heavy froth of Monk’s “In Walked Bud”; Palmieri comps a la Monk and Bud Powell while the bass, drums and congas pile on the polyrhythms. Hear master conguero Giovanni Hildago make like Chano Pozo on the Pozo-Dizzy Gillespie number, “Tin Tin Deo.” Violinist Regina Carter soars like a bird — and Bird — on “In Flight,” and saxophonist Michael Brecker, bassist Christian McBride and Palmieri refract the mood from suave to funky to gymnastic bebop on a glorious cover of Eddie Harris’s title track. Through it all, Palmieri is the linchpin between the horn section and the aforementioned Latin rhythm trio, salting in guest stars (John Scofield, David Sanchez, Nicolas Payton). If you’re not dancing to this, you’re dying.

They Say...
During his career, Eddie Palmieri hasn't seemed completely comfortable unless he's allowing others to challenge him. It was true at the beginning of his career when he revolutionized Latin music with his charanga, the La Perfecta ensemble; it was true during the mid-'60s when he recorded two respected dates with Cal Tjader; it was true during the '60s and '70s when he energized the Latin superstar band, the Fania All-Stars; and it was still true in early 2005 when he recorded Listen Here! Released on Concord Picante, it sees an array of excellent jazz instrumentalists sharing solo space with his regular group. First up is Regina Carter, not a natural fit for a Latin group by anyone's estimation, but still a master musician whose sprightly violin proves surprisingly sympathetic with Palmieri's tough salsa unit (and she hangs on easily when the band kicks in to a hardcore salsa halfway through). Tenor Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride also prove up to the task on the title track, a salsa re-imagination of Eddie Harris' near-standard "Listen Here." Elsewhere, Palmieri gets several chances to extend his arranging chops, by translating a trio of real standards -- "Tin Tin Deo," "In Walked Bud," "Nica's Dream" -- for his group.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
