Alongside the release of his new two-CD Telarc set, Live At The Blue Note, Latin pianist and composer Michel Camilo has launched his official web site, www.michelcamilo.com.

The site provides a community opportunity for Camilo fans by offering a tour calendar , discography, biography, videos, photos, links, downloadable songs and, soon, merchandise.

According to Camilo, Live At The Blue Note is about “musicians making connections with their instruments, making connections with each other, and most importantly making connections with the fans. Launching the official site gives us another way to connect.”
