5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camilo, January 12, 2007

I first saw Michel Camilo performing in 2000 in Jerusalem. I was not really sure what to expect since I did not know anything about this musician before the concert, besides that he is playing a "latino jazz", and I am not a big fan of latino music (I am a big fan of piano jazz though). Well, what I found out is that Camilo never plays strait latino, but incorporates the trend into solid gold jazz crafting. No question - latino flavor is there, but it makes his music even more exciting. I went looking for his CD the next day after the concert, and I picked the "Thru My Eyes". That CD officially made me Michel Camilo's fan. Since then I bought every single CD the pianist released and was never disappointed. Thru My Eyes does not include any original material on it (as suggested in the title) - but the selection is great, and Michel's convincing manner of playing really makes you feel like he actually wrote all the tunes. The sound quality is excellent, and bass-drums support is phenomenal. This CD is like a shot of espresso - dense and robust. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is THE BOMB!!!!, February 14, 1999

Michel Camilo has got the afro-cuban thing down baby. This CD is one that you can play all the way though. The personnel is in the pocket all night long. If you dig latin grooves, you need to get this CD.

I highly recommend this album to those latin jazz lovers out there! Buy this one for sure! Michel includes some familiar favorites that don't just get your foot tapping... before you know it - you'll be dancing around the room!
