    Bobby Pauneto passes away

    Last week Bobby Pauneto passed away. His death coincided with the re-release of his most famous record on cd “The Modern Sound of Bobby Pauneto”, ironically.

    Eddie Palmieri’s “Azucar Pa Ti” inducted into National Recording Registry of Congress

    “Azucar” broke much new ground when it was recorded in 1965. It was the first made for radio recording that broke the 2:45 min mark (2 years before the Doors’ “Light My Fire”). It is reportedly the first record that features a piano solo where the montuno was continued on with the left hand...

    The Swinging-est of all time.

    Eddie Palmieri throughout the years has had the sickest, most swinging bands on the planet. There is nobody that has ever swung harder, ever. Go see the man while you can. I’d go on and on, but talking about music is like dancing about art as someone once said. I’d recommend starting with these...

    The Palladium.

    I don’t know how many loungers have had the chance to see the Hollywood Palladium, but if you haven’t your time is almost up. Some real estate “developers” want to tear it down and put up a mini mall. Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra opened the place back in 1940. The New York Palladium (the home of...
