	Michel Camilo - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: An exciting and high-powered virtuoso pianist, Michel Camilo came from a very musical family (with all nine of his uncles being musicians).
		After moving to New York in 1979, his song "Why Not?" became a hit for the Manhattan Transfer and caught on as a standard, and "Caribe" entered the repertoire of Dizzy Gillespie.
		Camilo, who worked with Paquito D'Rivera's band for three years (cutting an album with "Why Not?" as the title cut), recorded for Electric Bird (sessions reissued by Evidence) and Columbia, and worked as a leader beginning in the mid-'80s.

	Michel Camilo - Solo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Recorded in the artist's 50th year, this beautifully rendered album represents Camilo's attempt to produce "a deep personal statement that would reflect some of my musical influences, as well as the exotic colors, textures, and nuances which I have been developing into my piano playing the last several years." I'd say he succeeds wonderfully.
		Camilo takes the listener through a variety of moods in each genre, from the romantic to the rlective to the celebratory.
		The piano is an extension of Camilo, and he expresses himself sensitively and clearly throughout.

	Michel Camilo
		Michel introduces the soloists after each song and his excitement and enthusiasm is very evident in each of his individual introductions.
		Michel’s piano solo is eloquent and deep, with a slow beginning building to a rapid melodic development.
		Michel is again slapping the piano in percussive empathy and sympathetic expression to the two drummer’s complex rhythmic patterns.

		Camilo listened to Art Tatum and other bopsters as a youngster, and throughout his classical training relished the jazz playing style and the risk and spontaneity of its improvisatory composition.
		Camilo is quite technically proficient, but is one of the few players who, while he plays very rapidly, also has the improvisational ability to choose the right notes, and makes them swing too.
		Camilo urged the class to listen to jazz groups to see whether they communicated and played dynamically as a group.

	Michel Camilo :Triangulo
		Michel Camilo's latest recording, Triangulo, is the same kind of straight-ahead jazz trio recording as last year's Chick Corea recording Past, Present and Futures, which is to say that it contains music that is solid and craftsman-like but still quite contemporary and never, ever boring.
		Of course, Camilo has much more than rhythmic adventurousness going for him; he is also renowned as a highly skilled technician, the result of classical training as well as transcribing solos by John Coltrane and Charlie Parker and playing them with both hands.
		Michel Camilo has developed his playing and composing much since he was a member of Paquito D'Rivera's group, and if Triangulo is any indication, he will continue to be one of our most interesting musicians for some time to come.

	Michel Camilo : Jazz CD Reviews- 2003 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Michel has been recording for about 20 years now, but this is his first live recording and his first with his current Cuban bass player and drummer.
		Camilo is well known as a composer and many other artists use his compositions, Dizzy Gillespie, Paquito D’Rivera and Manhattan Transfer have all featured his works.
		The playing of Michel Camilo is probably even more complicated than that of McCoy Tyner, but I find him much the most interesting of the two to listen to, his compositions have melodic as well as rhythmic content and his improvisations however advanced seem to me to have more structure.

	MPR: New Classical Tracks: Rhapsody in Blue
		Camilo has been trying to do the same with his own career, going from jazz to film scores to world-beat experiments to guest solo performances with symphony orchestras.
		I first saw Michel Camilo perform 15 years ago, when he was just starting to make a name for himself on the national music scene.
		Camilo's style is heavier, with more emphasis on the blues aspects of the piece, sounding more like New York City on a lazy, hot summer afternoon.

		Pianist Michel Camilo was at the top of his jazz game with his live effort back in 2003.
		The Michel Camilo Trio is a well oiled machine but Camilo wanted to venture out more on his own, pushing the boundaries of his Latin-Brazilian-classic jazz collage.
		Camilo opens the album with a rather soft and somber ivory tickler entitled "A Dream", moving from jazz to an almost classical style, especially in the initial moments.

		Camilo, however, was tonight’s sensational star, and he seized the length of the keyboard with aplomb and agility.

		Camilo displayed the Afro-Latin and Latin jazz side of his keyboard personality with slashing, attacking rhythms and phrases.
		Camilo's playing emerged as dominant as Jackson was content to work off his leads, and both drummers were equally willing to interact rather than try to influence the music's direction.
		As a result, Camilo got the chance to demonstrate his full range and did so in a workmanlike, effective manner.
