08/16/17 Al Di Meola - Fusion Guitar Virtuoso
b'A bona fide guitar hero and perennial poll-winner,\\xa0Al Di Meola\\xa0has been recognized internationally over the past four decades as virtuoso of the highest order. A prolific composer and prodigious six-string talent, Di Meola has amassed over 20 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return To Forever (with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White).
A pioneer of blending world music and jazz, going back to early Latin-tinged fusion outings like 1976\\u2019s Land of the Midnight Sun, 1977\\u2019s Elegant Gypsy and 1978\\u2019s Casino, the guitar great continues to explore the rich influence of flamenco, tango, Middle Eastern, Brazilian and African music with his World Sinfonia, an ambitious pan-global group that he formed in 1991.
