	Al Di Meola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Al Di Meola (born July 22, 1954 in Jersey City, New Jersey) is a jazz fusion guitarist.
		Di Meola went on to explore a variety of styles, but is most noted for his Latin-influenced jazz fusion works.
		Di Meola often closes out shows with an energetic rendition of one of his most challenging (to play, that is) pieces, "Race with Devil on Spanish Highway", from the Elegant Gypsy album.

	Al Di Meola :Flesh on Flesh
		With powerful compositions from Di Meola, Brazilian Egberto Gismonti, Argentinian Astor Piazzola, and Hispanic American jazz legend Chick Corea, Flesh on Flesh offers the energy of Di Meola's fusion outings, the sheer beauty of some of his solo guitar work, and the interesting arrangements and powerful improvisation of his best jazz-influenced work.
		The last piece on the album is one that Di Meola is very familiar with, having performed it with its composer, Chick Corea, during his time with Corea's band, Return to Forever.
		Di Meola plays the Fender Stratocaster as well as several acoustic guitars and drums along with Jackson on bass and Mario Parmisano on acoustic piano.

		Al di Meola continues to broaden his musical horizons with Flesh on Flesh, his fourth release for the Telarc recording label.
		Al di Meola's fifth of seven fusion albums as a leader for Columbia is a typically fiery effort, with di Meola joined by keyboardist Jan Hammer, electric bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Steve Gadd, percussionist Mingo Lewis, and guest spots for flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía ("Passion, Grace & Fire") and keyboardist Philippe Saisse.
		Guitarist Al di Meola's second record as a leader is generally an explosive affair, although it does have a fair amount of variety.

		Al Di Meola is no stranger to crossing musical boundaries.
		In 1971 he enrolled at the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston, where by his second semester he was playing in a fusion quartet led by keyboardist Barry Miles.
		But it was in early 1974 that he received a phone call from a keyboardist named Chick Corea, and together with bassist Stanley Clarke and drummer Lenny White formed the seminal fusion group Return to Forever.

	Al Di Meola: Flesh on Flesh - PopMatters Music Review
		True, the Latin/world influences are greater than ever, with Di Meola's fondness for the work of Astor Piazzolla again to the fore.
		Unlike his ally and (aesthetically) close cousin John McLaughlin, Di Meola's explorations remain bound by a stylistic straitjacket that the ex-Mahavishnuist has long since shed.
		Actually, Di Meola's choice of sidemen is impeccable throughout, with Gonzalo Rubalcaba (Fender Rhodes) and Gumbi Ortiz (percussion) particularly efficient.

		Al Di Meola's second album is ultimately my favorite album of his and is one of the best jazz rock albums available.
		As with all the tracks on the album, Di Meola is nothing short of brilliant, who really creates some gentle yet rough riffs on this piece, as well as gentle and incredibly complicated leads that utilize a nice wah/phaser effect.

	VH1.com : Al Di Meola : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		Guitarist Al di Meola first rose to prominence as a blazing jazz fusion player before his playing matured and he began to conquer other styles, such as acoustic Latin music.
		It was with di Meola that Return to Forever enjoyed their greatest commercial success, as such releases as 1974's Where Have I Known Before, 1975's No Mystery, and 1976's Romantic Warrior cracked the U.S. Top 40 before di Meola jumped ship to launch a solo career.
		During the '90s, di Meola turned his back almost entirely on fusion to concentrate more on acoustic-based world music, as evidenced by such releases as World Sinfonia, Di Meola Plays Piazzolla, and Heart of the Immigrants, among others.

	Amazon.com: Land of the Midnight Sun: Music: Al Di Meola (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		But for me, Al had already written his best tune: 'Flight of the Newborn' on Return to Forever's 'No Mystery' is one of those tracks I can never tire of, and I've known it for a quarter of a century.
		Personally I feel Al is better when he doesn't have the pressure of being forced to lead a band -- that's why his three albums with RtF are so magnificent.
		The guitar playing is fierce, funky and tasteful; he makes nice use of his patented "percolater" effect, damping the strings with his wrist and using the guitar almost as a percussion instrument, which goes along well with the latin/rock/funk compositions and the presence of Mingo Lewis, the percussionist.

	Al Di Meola Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Released in '78, with Steve Gadd on drums, Anthony Jackson on bass, and a host of other musicians, this CD would best be described as early instrumental rock.
		Meola is one of those very (very) rare musicians who is able to play his guitar without any cliche's.
		After listening to a few of Meola's melodies and solos, some of them sound pretty easy.

	THE ESSENCE OF AL DI MEOLA
		It’s not that I didn’t expect Al Di Meola to be good -- you couldn’t listen to him tear up the place with RTF and think that -- but The Essence of Al Di Meola distills something even stronger than that band.
		Di Meola’s guitar takes a greater share of the limelight than it did with RTF, with better results (that is, if you like your fusion to lean a little more toward rock).
		Sometimes, as on “Electric Rendezvous,” Di Meola almost crosses over into speed metal, spitting out rapid rhythmic nails from his fingers.
