What's Up? (Michel Camilo album)

AllMusic states that the album of solo piano performances was recorded on February 14–15, 2013 at The Carriage House Studios, Stamford, Connecticut.[1] This was Camilo's second solo piano album, after Solo.[2] Of the eleven tracks, four are standards and seven are Camilo compositions.[1]

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]
