Al Di Meola

Al Di Meola is a virtuoso guitarist who became popular playing with Chich Corea's band Return to Forever where he really did some amazing stuff which I know some people here appreciate. But does anyone have any interest in the guy beyond that?

I personally love his style and I'm getting more into his solo material these days. An early favourite for now is of course the track "Mediterranean Sundance" from his 1977 release Elegant Gypsy. Paco De Lucia also contributes on this track and, of course, the two plus John McLaughlin makes the guitar trio who are also famous for playing this Meola composition.

Here it is in all it's glory from Elegant Gypsy

Any more love out there for this amazing latin/fusion jazz guitarist?
