User Album Review
Al di Meola's first so-called Christmas album is a relaxed, flowing, intensely musical affair that jazzers, world music buffs, and new agers will feel equally comfortable with.
Mostly, he steers away from the often-cracked chestnuts, composing several tunes of his own ('Zima' the lead-off cut, is especially inviting), playing acoustic guitar and a battery of percussion instruments and keyboards in a graceful one-man band, thanks to multi-track tape.
Other tracks feature duets between di Meola (with overdubbed additional instruments) and Roman Hrynkiv, who plays a Ukrainian zither-like instrument called the bandura.
For the die-hard consumer who must have those carols, there are intricate renditions of 'The First Noel' & 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' and 'Carol of the Bells'.
