Michael's stylings are far deeper than "lounge lizard" drudgery, & his voice even reminds me (in places) of another favorite artist of mine, Mose Allison. This is definitely an "uptown" jazz experience & Camacho & his accompanying players have a full grasp on how to be infectious without being invasive. The key to his musical attraction, methinks, is his sense of rhythm... he's able to slip/slide his way into your heart without coming across (in the least) as too "syrupy", or "smooth". This guy's jazz is the epitome of cool, & the album is a "keeper", in every sense of the word... it gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from our ears.  Rotcod Zzaj</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Dick Metcalf, aka Rotcod Zzaj</div> <div> Zzaj Productions, c/o Dick Metcalf</div> <div> Mililani, HI 96789</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>-</B></I><A HREF="press_articles.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Reviews Press Articles"><I><B>MORE REVIEWS</B></I></A><I><B>-</B></I></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
