Tomatito & Michel Camilo, 2000. Solo by *Tomatito*.

Chick Corea's tune played by a flamenco guitarist and a Latin jazz pianist, from a Latin Grammy-winning album.

Spain is Chick Corea's tune, and Tomatito and Michel Camilo give it a fresh reading from the Latin Grammy-winning album of the same name. Tomatito's flamenco guitar and Camilo's Latin jazz piano trade the familiar melody and extended improvisations, each shaping it to their own style. The guitar's crisp attack and flamenco phrasing contrast beautifully with Camilo's rhythmic, percussive piano. The pairing showed how well the two traditions could converse. Listen for the moments where Tomatito shifts from melodic playing to rasgueado, bringing flamenco's rhythmic power into a jazz setting.

Spain by Tomatito & Michel Camilo is featured in our Flamenco (#13) list. The solo is played by Tomatito and the song was released in 2000.
