 NEA Jazz Master, 10x-GRAMMY® Award-Winner & 14x-GRAMMY® Nominated Jazz Pianist & Composer EDDIE PALMIERI is known as one of the finest pianists of the past 60 years.

"A living legend and cultural treasure," states AP NEWS. "Palmieri's genius is to stay rooted at the rhythmic heart of his band while playing with the improvisational flair of Horace Silver or McCoy Tyner," raves THE GUARDIAN.  The Box Office at Jimmy’s is also Open Daily from 10am to 5pm, for walk-up and phone services where you can purchase tickets and gift cards.
