Description: Elegant Gypsy by Al Di Meola [CD] Track Listing: 1 Flight Over Rio2 Midnight Tango3 Mediterranean Sundance4 Race With Devil On Spanish Highway5 Lady Of Rome, Sister Of Brazil6 Elegant Gypsy SuiteGuitarist Al di Meola's second record as a leader is generally an explosive affair, although it does have a fair amount of variety. With Jan Hammer or Barry Miles on keyboards, electric bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Lenny White (Steve Gadd takes his place on the "Elegant Gypsy Suite"), and percussionist Mango Lewis on most of the selections, di Meola shows off his speedy and rock-ish fusion style. He was still a member of Return to Forever at the time and was a stronger guitarist than composer, but di Meola did put a lot of thought into this music. The brief "Lady of Rome, Sister of Brazil" (an acoustic guitar solo) and "Mediterranean Sundance" (an acoustic duet with fellow guitarist Paco de Lucia) hints at di Meola's future directions. A near classic in the fusion vein. ~ Scott Yanow, AllMusic Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
