Trumpeter Brian Lynch has brought Eddie Palmieri on board for his new Simpatico (Artistshare), which is scheduled for release on Sept. 12. The disc includes reworkings of such Palmieri compositions as “Azucar.” Lila Downs appears as guest vocalist on a new version of Palmieri’s “Paginas De Mujer.”
“I’ve wanted to do this since I began working with Eddie 19 years ago,” Lynch said. “Not just a collaboration, but also my take on what his music means to me. This recording is the culmination of everything I’ve learned with Eddie and what that music represents.”
“Brian is an extraordinary talent,” Palmieri said. “He’s one of the greatest trumpet players I’ve ever met and very well known in the jazz world. He also has a deep comprehension of Latin idioms and that’s difficult to do.”
