If you're well versed in the genre, and are familiar with the other founders like Chano Pozo and Dizzy Gillespie, Camero was a giant in Latin and Afro-Cuban Jazz.
 
I'm sorry to hear about this. My prayers go to his friends and family.

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of him. I would assume that his name was real, but it looks so much like "Candid Camera," I wonder if he was ever kidded about that.

As a guy who's been around the block a few hundred times, my favorite music to listen and play as an instrumentalist, is Jazz. As a fan of the late John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie, I learned about some of the musicians he worked with. And Camero was one of them.

Wow, Bassman! If you can play jazz, I flip my wig to you! I like both "big band" jazz and small-group jazz ("12 bar blues"). I even like Dixieland New Orleans-style jazz. The thing is, though, I like the last two types mostly when they are "live," which kind of restricts how often I get to experience it.
