User Album Review
This album illustrates the electric side of Al di Meola's guitar playing from his 1976-1983 tenure primarily for the Columbia family of labels.
The CD represents a good overview of his discography, with mostly jazz-fusion material which first earned di Meola his reputation as a top guitarist in Chick Corea's Return to Forever. (His early dates 'Land of the Midnight Sun' and 'Elegant Gypsy Suite are well represented)
These are all di Meola originals, except "Sequencer" and the two live tracks, "Advantage" and "Cruisin' " that were composed by keyboardist Jan Hammer who was in Di Meola's band at the time. (Hammer also performs on 'Cachaca.')
Al di Meola was still in his twenties on even the most recent tracks here, where di Meola proved himself of the more distinctive guitarists in jazz music.
His middle-period efforts are not all that vital, as repeat ideas and predictable flash lost their original value even to the staunchest fans, therefore making this collection less than essential.
