It was in 2020 that Eddie Palmieri joined his friend, percussionist, bandleader, and the host of WBGO’s Latin Jazz Cruise, Bobby Sanabria at Yamaha Artists Services in New York City for a special intimate WBGO concert and chat.
During the special event, Palmieri sat down at the keys, Sanabria behind the drums and Luques Curtis on bass. It was an unforgettable night of music and conversation.
