INTUITION

Master Series

INTUITION is proud to announce the release of its most important and successful back-catalogue titles on vinyl under the name
„INTUITION Master Series“.

EDDIE PALMIERI – R.I.P.

It is with profound sorrow that Intuition honors the passing of the great pianist, composer and bandleader Eddie Palmieri on August 6, 2025. Through his album Sueño, released by our label in 1989, we were privileged to be part of a chapter in the extraordinary career of a true musical innovator.

The album seamlessly blends salsa and Latin jazz with modern jazz elements and features a stellar cast of musicians including David Sanborn, Brian Lynch and Francisco Aguabella. Pieces such as ‘Azúcar’ (a reinterpreted classic) and ‘Just a Little Dream’ once again show Palmieri’s genius for composition and improvisation. ‘Sueño’ has been remastered by Intuition Music for the Master Series in excellent quality, emphasising the album’s multi-layered arrangements and rhythmic complexity.

Celebration Edition 2024

Re-edited & Re-Mastered to mark the 30st anniversary of the original release

This brandnew re-release of Flamma Flamma is a celebration edition by the label INTUITION to mark the 30st aniversary with a remastered and re-edited version of the original album worldwide released in 1994. This 2024 edition is now available on CD but as well for the first time on double vinyl. The composer Nicholas Lens himself artistically supervised the re-mastering and re-editing.

Jacob Karlzon & Rhani Krija

    “We are Mosaic – a piano and percussion duo that creates music in the here and now. Improvisation, spontaneity and the energy of the moment are what drive us. The album “Mosaic” reflects this philosophy: each song is a fragment, a moment, a puzzle piece of a larger whole. We compose live in real time and are inspired by the connection to the audience. Music that lives, breathes and surprises.”
