The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with it’s cool evening light
But shining at night, in tunisia
Never does it shine so bright
The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand
Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each night’s a deeper night
In a world, ages old
The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace
(bridge)
(scat)
{repeat all twice
(scat)
Each wonderful night in tunisia
Coming from that 'Caribe' video to this.. that video has hands down the most ripping musicians ever. This though is .. wow. very wow. so wow. much wow.
I played a gig last night with a wonderful big band and it was my 80th birthday. I was in a great mood and I wanted to unwind so I found this video, OMG, blew me away......Life is good..
2:00 Bassist looks at Michael
He’s thinking:
“ God Damn! I could have driven home, to take a nap, made coffee, had a shower and still had time to get dressed , drive back to the gig and stand here once again waiting. ‘Cause he still would not be finished with his cadenza.”
See for yourself
Today August 22, 2013 marks the first anniversary of Charles Flores' passing. A wonderful friend, great bassist and Grammy winner. He is still dearly missed by all of us. Keep Swingin' in Heaven Charles!!!
Yes it is fast. It seems strange to say that a musician has too much speed in his technical ability. It is however tight. When he played with Tito Puente he was more laid back. Perhaps Michael needs to get off of the Cocaine if that is what is happening here.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Camilo perform live and I must say he is nothing short of a beast,with total dominance of his instrument.Speed,precision,clarity & many other attributes.He is a master!
Michel Camilo is still, after 36+ years, an unsung “DaVinci-type” hero and revolutionary jazz pianist. Well, who among the gods are recognized until they are dead. Doesn’t matter. He has made his mark for now and for all time. And for that, as a listener, I am grateful.
