Spirit Of The Moment Michel Camilo

Following up on the very intimate Solo in 2004 and the adventurous Rhapsody in Blue in 2006, Camilo makes his triumphant return to the straightahead jazz trio setting with the April 24, 2007, release of Spirit of the Moment – an album that expands on the energy and innovation of his GRAMMY winning 2003 opus, Live at the Blue Note. “Live at the Blue Note was the climax of twenty years of honing my trio sound and developing a very distinct style,” says Camilo. “After that, I felt like I could let the trio rest and be refreshed. I could do other things and explore other territories.” Nearly four years after Live at the Blue Note, Camilo regards Spirit of the Moment as an equally important recording. “This album, for me, is a milestone,” he says. “I believe it is a classic. After all of these other projects and experiences in the past few years, I’m able to refresh and redefine my trio sound.”
