Salsa Con Jazz: "The Melodic Eddie" Special Guest: saxophonist David Sánchez

Tune in to Salsa Con Jazz as we continue our Jazz Appreciation Month series, Caliente! Join Arturo Gómez at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 13, for "The Melodic Eddie!" Featuring special guest: Saxophonist David Sánchez.

Many years ago, Eddie discovered a precocious tenor saxophonist in Puerto Rico. That player, David Sánchez, became part of the Palmieri orchestra at a young age. Now, they come back together as fellow bandleaders and Grammy Award winners. Sánchez shows an appreciation for Mr. Palmieri’s melodic side, expressed by his desire to play "Adoración.” 

Show highlights include a moving duo version of the Palmieri standard “Puerto Rico” and a driving full-band workout on the Chano Pozo/DizzyGillespie classic Latin Jazz composition “Tin Tin Deo.”
