Now's the Time: The Spanish Harlem Orchestra

I’m thankful that I caught Eddie Palmieri at the Blue Note in New York a few months ago (brief Instagram video).  Muscular salsa and limber Latin jazz imbue the 80-year-old legend with youthful vigor.  The Spanish Harlem Orchestra will fill the Folly Theater with similarly festive sounds in a “Salsa Navidad” concert on Saturday, December 9.  Consult the comprehensive The Kansas City Jazz Calendar for dozens of area bookings between now and December 9.
