Let's support this music, people!!!

[ThePaulinoContreras]

i've been watching this video for years and it never gets old

[rodcrippler]

where does Michel get his drummers from? they are all real badass!

[fharids]

Cliff Almond makes this version so unique

[ryokucyabanto]

凄く幸せそうな表情でピアノ弾いていますね。

音楽が生きがいっていいな～

[geenosr]

Holy mother-of-pearl drums!! This video is insane! I go way back into the 80's with Michel, have seen him live several times, and he never, never disappoints. This recording is better than any coffee, energy drink or stimulant known to mankind. Michel OWNS the piano-all 88 keys are scared of his finger power! I'd hate to be his piano technician, talk about a full-time job! Wow---I'm going to watch it again for the 300th time. It never gets old.

[RonBurgundy609]

Cliff Almond at his finest.

[mrmadera1]

Michel Camilo orgullo dominicano!



[maxi428125]

@PicoRivera62 ON HIS HANDS

[smurstluer]

bassist?

[drummmhead]

@smurstluer Ned Mann

Who, I'm sorry to say developed lou gehrigs disease not long after this and tragically can't play or even really move anymore. Very, very sad. He was a great musician.

[smurstluer]

@drummmhead oh shit..

[jbontjestudio]

unreal!! i just discovered this guy today lol just got my mind blown haha anyone recomend any studio albums?

[Rodgebi]

@jbontjestudio Michel Camilo "One More Once", he does a great job so check him out.

[robertvelez007]

I never get tired of watching this vid

[PopeyeTheSailorman14]

heck of a performance

[RCRhythm]

One of the things I appreciate about Cliff Almond, aside from the obvious fact that he can handle some extremely challenging charts with relative ease, is that he doesn't necessarily sound just like Weckl (who apparently "discovered" him for Michel, or just like Vinne, or just like Dennis, or just like anybody. he really sounds to me like a healthy mix of everybody. Just a monster player.

$.02

[SenakuAruno]

Oh I love this! This is so freaking awsome!!!

[MartinaFromPoland]

ale on zasuwa, ja Cię kręcę ;O ale fajny utwór :D

[robertvelez007]

"Negro" Hernandez, you're my hero, but Cliff Almond fucked you :P

[tosfukada]

すばらしい！

[thisisbulltiful]

who's the bassist?

[anniearmen]

WOW x 10! Meet my favorite Jazz / Latin Fusion Pianist in the world -- Michel Camilo! "ON FIRE" is one of my favorite songs from him, and I agree with everyone's posts here... the drummer and Camilo -- WHAT CHEMISTRY, as if they are one! WATCH A VIRTUOSO RIP THOSE IVORY KEYS LIKE NO OTHER! Go Michel!

[3drican]

camilo looked very happy there, lots of reasons to be, the guy plays beautiful. The drummer definitely did the job, and the bassist its rotten good.10/10

[hoozzat]

Props to 'young' Mr. Almond too - he can be added to the small circle of drummers who might cause other players to break their sticks in self-pity...

[hoozzat]

There appears to be differing opinions, but I can confirm that the original album recording DID in fact feature Joel Rosenblatt on drums and NOT Dave Weckl .  Interesting fact about Joel/Dave - they were roommates while attending Berklee. One can be forgiven up to a point for confusing Joel with Dave when the correct credit is unknown. To my ear though, Dave's style is more angular/metronomic - Joel is looser and plays with more feeling

[rkeiter]

Wow - Michel and Cliff Almond are on fire in this performance! Its a joy having Cliff Almond playing on my new jazz vocal CD, "The Glory of Love" Rob Keiter, released by Sketchin' Records, October 26, 2010.

[4096TIME]

IT'S AMAZING!

I WANT TO GO TO BLUENOTETOKYO SOMEDAY!

[mimbster1972]

Awesome. It's really inspiring. Cliff Almond is great, young but very talented.

[renypbaez]

One of the greatest artist of the Dominican Republic...

[02duramaxlb7]

The drummer listens to Weckl a lot.  And he sounds great!

[goodearl]

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Michel Camilo, Anthony Jackson and Horacio "el negro" Hernandez. I caught them when they came through Fukuoka some years back. This of course is also amazing.

[goodearl]

[cadienshark76]

To my knowledge,the original drummer on the original album was Joel Rosenblatt

[jwklbm326]

The drummer is Brad Pitt's brother Peach.

[kargyraa1]

Cliff Almond is surely a great great talent ! Awesome drumming, he's still young.

aqui en la tierra no hay otro pianista como el .

ja ja les hace sudar la gota gorda a los musicos que lo acompañan , si no fijense en el bajista , el pobre esta en trance .poquito mas y se le viene su lechesita ja ja ja .

[gnagata]

I think the bassist is Lincoln Goines in his younger days. Awesome performance.

[Dartigo]

esta mejor el que hizo con horacio en el 2002

[flirtaciouschocolate]

at 7:45 cliff almond lost the time nasty style..and not in a good way..like michel got back on his time..to make him not look bad

[3shiftgtr]

What? He's soloing over an ostinato. Lost time? The time is in the ostinato....

[IIIlllll]

Is that Tommy Igoe?

[tatzang]

It is Cliff Almond on the drums.

[AALEEEX]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[zapatitotigue]

[Dartigo]

[jojojojoeable]

He has big passions!!

[gabriel02071984]

it s really insanee...

[lesginka]

oh my Gosh... he's on fire for real!

[heymarz]

This is one I watch frequently... All time favorite. Michel Camilo is a monster on the piano. My forearms hurt just watching.

[parmxd]

I went to Tokyo blue note for see him play the piano. was amazing!!!

[accskaguy]

What can be said?

Hot damn! What an inspired performance!

Thanks for putting this up. :)

[jahpinpin]

Grosse technique, mais quel ennui! C'est sec et démonstratif: Camilo champion du monde: content?

[FlorindaLiriano]

Amazing.

[darkaza666]

scary face! 02:53 but great playing!

[whateverman666]

If I was going to complain about the drummer, I'd point at the sound of his toms. Too dead, and not enough tone - might have been the engineer's fault...

[whateverman666]

Wow! At first I thought it might be Rosenbladt, but no - I don't recognize him. And I *love* the interplay between piano and drums. Very expressive

[juanchisgomez]

It's not about impressing a jerk, it's about enjoying the damn music!

[extralargos]

brad pit

[TinSpajic]

HHAHAA!!! :D

[snorhyveln]

Ok - Cliff Almond

[snorhyveln]

Real nice touch by the drummer... who is he?  Anybody?

[enak1989]

no me gusta mucho esta musica pero he de admitir que este pianista es un genio ,,,

[paraguas1234]

nice arriba Republica Doninicana

[Nemoniak]

i'm just fan ...

[hispresence]

WOW!!!!!

[TCELL24]

YEAH! saw them live at North Sea Jazz in Ahoy Rotterdam '08

[Naoyamt13]

wow, that was great stuff

i found myself laughing cuz its so damn good!

[michets82]

makes a big smile on my face ... very extraordinary performance!!!

[jmmatos23]

Cliff Almond is a good drummer, but for some reason he didn't impress me in this video. NOT saying he's bad, but I'm so used to see Horacio playing with Michel that every drummer I see playing with Michel looks like a begginer compared to Horacio.

[michets82]

el negro ist nicht von dieser welt...

[mantra154888]

Agreed!! lol.

[theblastbeat]

I love Cliff Almond in Camilo's more up-tempo songs... He has an extraordinary 'light' feel in such fast songs like this one. I listened to the Horacio version of this song.. and I really thinks it lacks energy... But in mid-tempo songs Horacio is seriously amazing. His feel in "From Within"... truly a virtuoso

[jmmatos23]

Agreed.

[sticktrik]

He didn't impress you!!!! What does he have to do twirl his sticks and throw them in the air!!!!! The guy is not a good drummer, he's a great drummer!! I don't think you've heard enough of his playing to make a comment like you did! Investigate him further you'll Agree!!

[jmmatos23]

Throwing sticks has nothing to do with being a good drummer. He just didn't impress me, that's all, and I'm not saying he's bad! but as you can see in my comment there's a reason why he didn't impress me.

[afertyus1000]

wow michels got fingers of steel with the music running through his veins

[Barretto2]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[nadavnaz2]

WOW, talk about chemistry. The drummer and camilo, they're like one human in many parts! Amazing performance

[cesarscreamo]

who's the drummer?

[jasior111]

Clif Almond

[efrain42]

I'm gonna have an orgasm

[Arc4173c7]

Amazing drummer!

[bf3101]

Neither of them lost or gained anything. The time is perfect.

I'm impressed that this drummer could keep up!

[TinSpajic]

orgasmoid

[IndioFreak]

Agreed. Michel is waiting for Cliff to reach his groove, Cliff tries struggling against himself, but Michel has to get back to the chorus so that he can leave his drum solo in the cleanest way possible. Made me miss El Negro.

[heelarzo]

thanks for vid:)

[thinker23]

Awesome

[fcolon08]

michel always plays with the nicest drummers. clif almond, amazing.
