Eddie Palmieri
Bronx-raised pianist Eddie Palmieri, who died in 2025, was an architect of salsa and Latin jazz, mixing Puerto Rican rhythm with the harmonies of Monk and McCoy Tyner. His trombone-led band La Perfecta changed the sound of Latin dance music, and The Sun of Latin Music won the first Grammy for Best Latin Recording.
