One of the most important jazz musicians to emerge in the past decade, pianist and composer Michel Camilo marks his move to Telarc with Triangulo, his most adventurous yet accessible recording to date. Camilo is renowned for combining rich harmonies with the Caribbean flavors and Latin rhythms of his native Dominican Republic. Produced by Camilo, Triangulo is loaded with uptempo rhythms and includes a mix of original tunes along with four compositions by other artists. Best known for his work with trios, Camilo´s complex, almost orchestral arrangements demand the highest level of musicianship. Anthony Jackson is a master of the six-stringed contrabass guitar, an instrument he designed himself. Cuban drummer Horacio ´El Negro´ Hernandez supplies Latin percussion effects as well as straight-ahead rhythms. Throughout his career, Camilo has never been afraid to look for musical inspiration. Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1954, he came from a musical family. Camilo started out playing accordion before switching to piano at age nine. A self-taught student of American jazz, he first heard piano legend Art Tatum on the radio. In 1979, he and his wife moved to New York. Camilo spent three years as a member of Paquito D´Rivera´s band, where he gained experience and recognition. His self-titled Epic debut shot to the top of the jazz charts in 1988 and several more critically acclaimed albums followed.Selections Piece of Cake La Comparsa Mr. C.I.
