Eddie Palmieri - Justicia CD


Available from Amazon Marketplace 7 New from $11.94 5 Used from $12.85

Any album purporting to address social justice ought to say something, or at least have powerful feeling. Unfortunately, the vocal "Everything is Everything" winds up as wasted potential, empty frustration, as if Palmieri suffered writer's block before coming up with the masterpiece Harlem River Drive. The more instrumental pieces similarly fail to shine, despite the always impressive cast of players and singers. Nothing bombs, but nothing clicks. Though interesting as the precedent to a soul-jazz classic, Justicia is only average for an Eddie Palmieri record, which is still heads above most, and probably essential listening. ~ Tony Wilds

Justicia Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Classic Palmieri Remastered!
Another great re-release from the folks at emusic/Fania. This one originally came out in '69 and further cements Eddie Palmieri as one of the truly greats in Salsa/Latin Jazz. Here the band takes on salsa,rhythm and blues and jazz in a tasteful blend that jumps out of the speakers. The title song is one of the best Palmieri and vocalist Ismael Quintana ever put out. Excellant social message lyrics and a killer arrangement. Viva Palmieri!
