Recording and music
Release and reception
What's Up? was released by Okeh Records in 2013.[2] An All About Jazz reviewer described Camilo's approach: "[he plays] the upright bass counter line with, usually, the right hand playing melody and harmonic content, in chords or in octaves. In this context, there is a more balanced presentation, with hard-driving note flurries more at a minimum."[2]
The JazzTimes reviewer concluded: "Seldom a dull moment here."[3] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "What's Up? is a commanding performance by a truly masterful, wildly creative jazz pianist and composer."[1] The album won the 2013 Latin Grammy Award for Best Jazz Album.[4]
