Eddie Palmieri was still building the vocabulary that would redefine salsa piano when he cut this for Tico in 1964 — descarga, mambo, and bolero filtered through the left-hand attack that would become his signature. This is early Palmieri, the sound of one of Latin music's most uncompromising musicians before the world caught up to him.
