Michel Camilo's second release as a leader, SUNTAN, features the fiery pianist in a trio setting with bassist Anthony Jackson and either Dave Weckl or Joel Rosenblatt on drums. The performances here are staggering as each member is allowed to display his facility to the fullest on Camilo's intricate, Latin-flavored arrangements. The result is music that sparkles with life and character while expanding the limits of the piano trio format.
The explosive opener, "We Three," is example enough of Camilo's ability to dazzle listeners with his powerful chops and limitless energy. After a gentle solo piano intro to Airto Moreira's classic "Tombo in 7/4," the trio rips into the funky, odd-time groove with passion and fire. Two of the late bassist Jaco Pastorius' compositions are featured on the album, the beautiful ballad "Las Olas" and a blistering reading of "(Used to Be a) Cha-Cha." The ending title track is the grand finally, with a bouncing Caribbean groove that features plenty of energetic playing by all.

JazzTimes (Jan.-Feb./93, p.84) - "...mines lyrical and rhythmic terrain, though in this case, the emphasis is less 52nd Street and more South Of The Border, as the title selection joyfully indicates..."

Suntan album
 $9.75  
THRU MY EYES is pianist Michel Camilo's take on his favorite standard tunes. With but a few exceptions, Camilo, being such an accomplished composer, has found little need in past efforts to resort to covering other artist's songs. Here, however, his keen musical taste has yielded a collection of 12 outstanding interpretations of some of the best Latin-flavored gems in the repertoire. With such high-class sidemen as Anthony Jackson, John Patitucci and percussion powerhouse Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Camilo has turned in yet another top-flight performance.
The classic "Poinciana" opens the set with a gentle bounce as Camilo proceeds to wash lush ...

Suntan CD music
$10.69 
After arriving in New York from his native Dominican Republic, Michel Camilo proceeded to take the jazz scene by storm. His tremendous keyboard chops, unmistakable feel for Latin jazz and skills as a composer made him one of the most notable young pianists in recent memory. WHY NOT?, Camilo's first session as a leader, is a remarkable debut with many heavyweight sidemen including trumpeter Lew Soloff, bassist Anthony Jackson, and a young Dave Weckl on drums.
The music here is energetic and joyful, just like Camilo himself. ...
| | Grand Funk Railroad Survival CD (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Suntan music CDs
$9.45 
By the time Grand Funk Railroad came to make Survival in January 1971, Cleveland Recording had moved to new quarters, and the group had become a national phenomenon, its last two albums Top Ten million-sellers. They spent a relatively luxurious six weeks or so on the record, and the results showed; Survival was the best-sounding and the best-played album they had yet made. Such assessments are, of course, relative, however. The group's playing remained rudimentary, especially in the rhythm section, and its sense of song construction was simple and repetitious. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Mark Farner sang in a strained, limited tenor lyrics that yearned ...

| | Chris Washburne Other Side: El Otro Lado CD (2001)
Suntan CD music
$13.49
Trombonist, composer, and arranger Chris Washburne originally conceived this second CD with the Syotos Band as a tribute to Latin jazz impresario Tito Puente. However, the great bandleader passed away before the project could get underway, so Washburne decided to record both his original compositions and several of Puente's for The Other Side. Nine excellent compositions form this great set with some of the best Latin jazz players on the New York scene. Several special guests join Washburne, including the dynamic Ray Vega, the former musical director of Tito Puente's band. Washburne's broad range of influences are fully present in his excellent trombone solo on "Titorama." Vega's powerful answers to John Walsh's trumpet calls are enough reason to take to the aisles and dance. "Mamborama," written by Puente in the early '60s, is re-arranged with an action adventuresque vamp and Washburne's bluesy, bebop solo that offers a host of surprises. George Cory's composition, "Deep Song," is a true reference to the other side of the leader's musicality. This standard, recorded originally by Billie Holiday, forms the emotional essence of the CD with its affecting introduction that segues into a Cuban guajira. Overall, this CD tops Washburne's debut, Nuyorican ...

Suntan music CDs
$41.79
A year after the 1978 Chick Corea/Herbie Hancock duo tour was documented on a two-LP Columbia album, An Evening with Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, Corea's label, Polydor, issued its own two-LP collection of extracts from the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Ann Arbor concerts. With both artists still selling lots of electric records then, it was feasible to do so -- and the two double sets served as massive ripostes ...

Suntan music CDs
$9.59
For his tenth full-length album, Playin' Favourites, British smooth jazz giant Peter White decided to, as the title suggests, turn to some of his favorite tracks from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, giving each of them his own interpretation (he did a similar thing in 1994's Reflections). Working with longtime producer Paul Brown, as well as musicians Boney James, Rick Braun, and Dave Camp, among others, White successfully turns the 11 songs on Playin' Favourites into instant crossover jazz hits. Mainly this means adding horns and keyboards to the background while the guitarist lithely moves around ...
