This Week's Listen


Land of the Midnight Sun - Al Di Meola (1976)

One of my most-played fusion albums, Al Di Meola's first solo album is certainly one to remember. All of the material is quite original, and this album shows his level of depth and variety in playing. Di Meola is joined by a superb cast of guest musicians, including Stanely Clarke, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius, and an array of excellent drummers (Steve Gadd, Alphonse Mouzon, Lenny White). This album, along with his second "Elegant Gypsy," are absolute necessities from this Wizard's extensive discography.
