Solo is a piano album by Michel Camilo. It was recorded in 2004 and released by Telarc.

Recording and music

The album of solo piano performances was recorded in May 2004.[1] One reviewer commented that the recording was done "in a close and immediate manner so intimate you'll think the pianist is in your living room."[2] Of the twelve tracks, four are Brazilian, four are standards, and four are Camilo compositions.[3]

Release and reception

Solo was released by Telarc in 2005.[2] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "Although Solo does not quite generate the same amount of excitement as Camilo's often-classic trio dates, he plays beautifully throughout."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings also compared it with Camilo's trio recordings: "the percussive energy he conjures up with a rhythm section is largely missing and some of these sound suspiciously like rehearsal musings."[1]
