In 2003, Michel Camilo recorded over four nights at New York's legendary Jazz Club, Blue Note. It was the first time with the bassist Charles Flores. Yesterday I have the chance of seeing them with Dafnis Prieto at the drums.
Obviously the atmosphere of Blue Note helps to make the night magic, but Michel Camilo is such a pianist. His hands fly through the piano, you can not follow the movements, sometimes you can figure out that he has more than the regular two hands that usual people has.
I strongly recommend you some of his albums (you can find them at itunes.com): "(2003) Live at the Blue Note", "(1989) On Fire" and "(2006) Rhapsody in Blue". I know, I know why other version of the great Gershwin masterpiece? because it is worth it.
Great experience. Now, I am just waiting for Paquito D'Rivera that I think is going to be here in september.
