Latin Jazz Legend Eddie Palmieri Passes Away at 88
In a sad announcement made on Wednesday, the record label of the legendary pianist and composer Eddie Palmieri confirmed that he had passed away at the age of 88 in his home in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Palmieri, a seminal figure in the music world, was a Latin jazz legend who had a profound impact on the genre. Born in East Harlem, New York City, he was celebrated extensively in his birthplace and a key city in his career.
In his later years, Palmieri's health issues limited his performances, and a planned tribute concert that he was hoped to attend did not include him due to his declining health. Unfortunately, specific recent performance dates and venues shortly before his passing are not detailed in the search results.
Despite this, his music continues to influence the Latin jazz genre, and his legacy will live on. The town of Pfaffenhofen, where Palmieri performed over 20 years ago, received the news of his death with sadness.
