5.0 out of 5 stars I think I wore out this CD. . .my undeniable favorite., March 8, 1999

This review is from: On Fire (Audio CD)

From the first tune, the jovial "Island Stomp," you know you're in for a great album. A great variety of songs, from ballads to latin to smoking swing, this album continues to be my favorite after 7 years! This was my first Camilo album, I now own them all!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real piano jam!!!, May 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: On Fire (Audio CD)

Camilo shows a variety of rhythms that shows us how a piano is to be played and enjoyed. A good sweet jazz piano jam is how I personally call this, a good jazz performance that shows a different face of jazz with a latin feeling that comes from the same roots from outstanding performers like Chucho Valdes, or Gonzalo Rubalcaba. This is a must have for good latin jazz listeners.

This review is from: On Fire (Audio CD)

This CD is absolutely fantastic. Every track is breathtakingly beautiful. Camilo's chord voicings in this style are by far the most lush, complex, and beautiful I have ever heard. The mastery of the piano that it takes to play at this level is unthinkable. I've only seen him live once, but I wish he could move into my house. Joel Rosenblatt also shines on this album as well. If you haven't heard Rosenblatt live, do yourself a favor and go to a Spyro Gyra concert. As for Camilo, he's in a league all his own. Highest recommendation.
