Monday, 6 November 2023. Michel Camilo is rehearsing his two-piano concert with Marco Mezquida in the orchestra room at Conservatori Liceu. The rehearsal ends and there is joy all round. They have understood one another wonderfully. They leave and meet saxophonist Donny McCaslin's quartet, which includes drummer Antonio Sánchez, recently settled in the Maresme. Michel advises Marco: “Now that he lives here, you have to play with him. He's one of the best.” Antonio nods, smiles and replies: “And one day I have to play with you too, Michel.” That day has now arrived, a gift to celebrate our status as sixty-year-olds: after almost two decades without playing trio in Barcelona, Michel Camilo returns to one of his landmark stages, Palau de la Música Catalana, with a new trio featuring Antonio Sánchez on drums alongside double bassist Ricky Rodríguez.
