The prolific jazz drummer played on 13 albums with Bennett in the ’90s and ’00s, including the Grammy-winning ‘Unplugged’ set.

special was an immediate success, as part of Bennett’s successful mid-’90s rebranding as an artist accessible to the MTV generation, and its accompanying soundtrack would go on to be certified platinum by the RIAA and win two awards, including album of the year, at the 1995 Grammys. Its popularity also brought newfound exposure to Cameron, then in his mid-30s.

Can you tell me a little bit about your early career, and the path that took you to working with Tony? So we’re on a plane going to… up north, just past the Bay Area. Tony and I were talking on the plane, and I reminded him that we had met back in the ‘80s on the tennis court, in Atlantic City. Tony,’s youngest daughter was taking a tennis lesson — she must have been 10 years old, or something like that. There was only one tennis club in Atlantic City, and so the pro there knew me.

There wasn’t really much discussion on what to do. We just did it. There was never really much discussion, just swinging and grooving. The big thing with Tony is his dynamics – I learned a lot in that sense. Especially in the studio, just really being able to play with that quiet intensity — so that he didn’t have to compromise what he wanted to do.

Is that something that he would frequently do at concerts? Because over the course of the special, he really gives all three of you a pretty specific time to shine individually. I’ve heard stories about thetapings that sometimes they drag on for seven-eight hours, and everybody’s exhausted by the end, you end up doing these retakes and retakes.
