Palmas is an album by the American musician Eddie Palmieri, released in 1994.[2][3] Palmieri supported the album by playing shows with Milton Nascimento.[4]
The album peaked at No. 44 on Billboard's Jazz Albums chart.[5] It was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Latin Jazz Performance".[6]
The album was produced by Palmieri, who also composed all of its songs.[7][8] He began working on it in the fall of 1993.[9] Palmieri wanted to record without vocalists, and with the three horn players taking solos; two of the horn players were ex-Jazz Messengers.[10][11][12] Palmieri often treated the piano as a percussive instrument.[13] Eight musicians played on Palmas.[14]
