Al Di Meola - One Of These Nights, Part 1 (LP)

Right from the start, Al di Meola brilliantly displays his amazing guitar skills and appreciation of gorgeous melodies. Utilizing concentration and devotion to his craft rather than simply performing routines make this performance an extraordinary experience. His masterful skills combined with feelings of emotion create a spectrum of musical ideas. Al di Meola assembled a thoroughly excellent group of musicians for this review of his career spanning almost three decades. It is a fantastic combination of romantic chamber music, traditional Latin American music and the freedom of jazz, constantly switching between off-the-cuff improvisation and intricate musical arrangements. Time and time again the musicians alter familiar music with surprising rhythmic changes to construct a marvelous soundscape.
