THE LATIN SIDE OF WAYNE SHORTER
Conrad Herwig
with Eddie Palmieri & Brian Lynch
AFTER SUCCESSFULLY “LATINIZING” THE MUSIC of jazz legends John Coltrane and Miles Davis, CONRAD HERWIG turns his attention to saxophonist Wayne Shorter, one of the most important jazz composers of the past half-century.
The result is a fiery excursion into the world of Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Joining Herwig and his “Latin Side” band are two special guests - pianist pioneer Eddie Palmieri, and trumpeter Brian Lynch. Together they lend a spirit and authority unmatched among salsa aggregates. Featured tunes include “Footprints,” “Masqualero,” and “Adam’s Apple.”
This is the latest installment in Conrad Herwig’s winning series, “The Latin Side of…” Recorded live at the Blue Note in New York, it spotlights the iconic greatness of Wayne Shorter and Eddie Palmieri, as well as Herwig's progressive
arrangements.
