Michel Camilo Live At the Blue Note

Latin Beat Magazine, Sept, 2003 by Frank Figueroa

(Telarc)

The jazz doctor has prescribed a double dose of Michel Camilo to cure your blues on this double CD. The elixir was especially dispensed at New York's renowned Blue Note nightclub. You have unlimited refills for as long as your equipment holds up. The CD is replete with material so new that the CDC in Atlanta has not had time to approve it. However, it does have the seal of approval of the audience of jazzophiles who were present at the Blue Note on the night it was created. Cosigning the prescription, along with the piano-playing doctor Michel Camilo, are Charles Flores (bass) and Horacio "El Negro" Hernández (drums). Active ingredients: 16 elements, including effective sedatives such as Cocowalk, Dichotomy, On Fire, Twilight Glow and The Magic in You. No side effects, and it's impossible to overdose on this prescription. Shake yourself well before listening.
