This masterpiece, recorded by Eddie Palmieri for Coco Records in 1974, is a historic album that won the first Grammy Award in the Latin category the following year. With Lalo Rodríguez, then 17 years old, on vocals, Barry Rogers' arrangements, and recording at Electric Lady Studios, the lineup was impeccable. The 14-minute "Un Día Bonito" on side B transcends the boundaries of salsa, with Palmieri's piano traversing free jazz and classical idioms. It's an essential album in the history of Latin jazz, and its powerful rhythm section is suitable for the dance floor. This pressing is from France.
