A bona fide guitar hero, perennial poll-winner and virtuoso of the highest order, Al Di Meola has also been recognized over the past 30 years as a prolific composer and respected artist with over 20 recordings as a leader. Following 2008's triumphant 25-year reunion tour by Return To Forever, the trailblazing guitarist gets back to playing his own music on his new Telarc recording.
A pioneer of blending world music and jazz, Di Meola's current World Sinfonia band creates hauntingly beautiful music which extends and compliments the evocative, compelling tone of his guitar. Features guest appearances by the Sturcz String Quartet and a wealth of Di Meola's contemporaries, including legendary jazz bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Peter Erskine and Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, among others.
