O’s Notes: This is the first work by the legendary Latin Jazz pianist in several years. At 80 years old the man has not lost a beat! Palmieri assembles a who’s who in jazz including vibraphonist Joe Locke, Anthony Carrillo (bongo, cowbell), bassist Luques Curtis and guests Marcus Miller (b) Alfredo de la Fe (violin) and Bernard Purdie (d). The riveting brass accents and head bobbing salsa continue on “Sabiduria” lending to a set that has elements of jazz, pop, funk and Latin music.
