Michel Camilo is a legend in his own lifetime as a master of latin jazz piano and his compositions and re-styling of latin jazz standards are now classics of the style.
This concert will be an ambitious exploration of some of Camilo’s earlier compositions which established him as an international artist including “And Sammy Walked In”, “Tropical Jam” and “One More Once”, combined with some of his interpretations of classic latin pieces such as “Poinciana”, Chick Corea’s “Armanda's Rumba” and Kenny Dorham's "Blue Bossa"
The set will provide a contrast of lively latin rhythms with highly melodic and sentimental ballads such as “Remembrance”. Grand piano played by John Lake with Simon Cambers on drums and Matt Casterton on bass.
