Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Presents Tribute to Charlie Palmieri by The Uprising All-Stars
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The Kick off to the 2019 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. The Festival presents free music, theater, circus, dance, poetry, and children’s programs with artists from the Bay Area and around the world. Yerba Buena Gardens is a world-renowned cultural destination for Bay Area residents, families, workers, and tourists alike and is located between Mission Street and Howard Street and Third and Fourth Streets in downtown San Francisco.
As the definitive salsa trombonist of his generation, Jimmy Bosch is the ideal player to serve as the music director for this tribute to Charlie Palmieri, the innovative bandleader known as the Giant of the Keyboards. The older brother of Latin music legend Eddie Palmieri, Charlie was a progressive force on the New York Latin music scene from the moment he joined Tito Puente’s band at the Copacabana in 1947 until his death at the age of 60 in 1988. Featuring the Uprising All-Stars, the production combines New York’s finest purveyors of Latin dance music with world-class Bay Area talent, including trombonist Doug Beavers, conguero Little Johnny Rivero, bongo master Karl Perrazo, and vocalist Frankie Vasquez, who first made an incandescent impression in the Bay Area on Manny Oquendo’s classic 1996 album Muévete! (Milestone), recorded live at Bimbo’s 365 Club.
