Michel Camilo: Rhapsody in Blue
by Jim Santella
The crystal clear articulation with which Michel Camilo interprets “Rhapsody in Blue" comes naturally. He was a child prodigy, after all, who joined the National Symphony of the Dominican Republic at age sixteen. Here, with the 95-piece Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, he resurrects George Gershwin's landmark composition with its jazz inflection and significant orchestral jazz textures. Camilo's ...
Michel Camilo: Rhapsody in Blue
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
As we settle into the new century, Gunther Schuller's Third Stream concept remains alive and well. Another example of this jazz/classical crossover is Rhapsody in Blue, where Michel Camilo plays “classical" George Gershwin with the Barcelona Symphony. It's a terrific CD, but is it jazz? You bet. For one thing, Gershwin was basically a jazz guy, ...

Michel Camilo: Solo
by C. Michael Bailey
Michel Camilo's last recording, Live at the Blue Note, won a Best Latin Jazz Grammy® in 2003. His followup is a solo offering that fairly surveys his various influences and interests, including Camilo's Latin-tinged, impressionistic original compositions; the music of Brazil, particularly that of Jobim; and the Great American Songbook. This disc is reminiscent ...
Michel Camilo: Solo
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Piano virtuoso Michel Camilo has plied his trade in various settings--trios mostly, but in duos and big bands as well--so the time must have seemed right for him to put out a solo work which, while not necessarily completing his discography, would certainly deepen it. Solo , a diverse blend of originals and standards, bears Camilo's ...
Michel Camilo: Solo
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
You get the truest measure of a pianist when s/he plays alone, completely responsible for keeping time and the listener's interest; it's the most personal, revealing canvas of all. On Solo, Michel Camilo's vibrant colors appear in new shadings, reflecting this uniquely intimate setting. The Grammy-winning pianist's first solo album is designed as a ...

Thunder in the Hall: Michel Camilo at Lincoln Center
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Michel Camilo's Grammy-winning Live at the Blue Note has already been thoughtfully reviewed by two of my AAJ colleagues ( Franz Matzner and Joel Roberts ). Both of them note Camilo's virtuosity and classical roots, using words like “dazzling" and “astound[ing]" to describe his performance. In concert, all of this applies, with added dimensions of personal ...
