Eddie Palmieri - Sugar Daddy
The piano player »Eddie Palmieri is a genius! He created brand new Salsa arrangements in the beginning of the 60s with his band La Perfecta. The idea was to replace the horn section of a mambo orchestra only with 2 but 'fat' trombones. This was a revolution and the base of later Salsa arrangements. The CD Sugar Daddy is a compilation of his greatest hits of the 60s with the band La Perfecta. This is one of my favourite CDs!!!
