Al Di Meola biography, Al Di Meola discography
Al Di Meola (born Al Laurence Dimeola July 22, 1954 in Jersey City, New Jersey) is an Italian American jazz fusion and Latin jazz guitarist.Di Meola grew up in Bergenfield, New Jersey, and attended Bergenfield High School.In 1974 he joined Chick Corea's band, Return to Forever, and played with the band until a major lineup shift in 1976.Guitar historian Robert Lynch states: "In the history of the electric guitar, no one figure has done more to advance the instrument in a purely technical manner than Mr.His total command of the various styles and scales is simply mind boggling.He also guested on "Allergies" from Paul Simon's "Hearts and Bones" album (1983).In the beginning of his career, as evidenced on his first solo album Land of the Midnight Sun (1976), Di Meola was noted for his technical mastery and extremely fast, complex guitar solos and compositions.Good examples are "Mediterranean Sundance" and "Lady of Rome, Sister of Brazil" from the Elegant Gypsy album (1977).In 1980, he also toured with fellow Latin rocker, Carlos Santana.Beginning with this change, he further expanded his horizons with the acoustic album Cielo e Terra.Di Meola often closes out shows with an energetic rendition of one of his most challenging (to play, that is) pieces, "Race with Devil on Spanish Highway", from the Elegant Gypsy album.Even in technical showcases like this, he combines blindingly fast scalar runs with subtle, dazzling rhythms, and melodic phrases.Because of his early recordings, Di Meola became arguably the most important pioneer of shred guitar, influencing guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen (with whom he appeared on keyboardist Derek Sherinian's solo album Black Utopia (2003)).However, in most cases after the early 1980s, Di Meola has largely distanced himself from this approach.In various interviews, Di Meola has stated that his reason for stepping away from the electric guitar is due to hearing damage (manifested as tinnitus) from years of playing at excessive volumes; the acoustic guitar does not aggravate his condition.Al Di Meola, Telarc International Corporation.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Try the New YouTube Player Beta!Thank you for sharing this video!Please login to add to favorites.The video has been added to your playlist.Please login to add to your playlists.Please login to add to flag a video.This video has no Responses.Be the first to Post a Video Response.PS i like your weirdly formal english!Stopthatnoise: Me too: I too don't understand this childishness to compare this and that by Al Di Meola.Al Di Meola discusses rhythm techniques backsta...Al Di Meola discusses rhythm techniques backstage in an interview with Stu Bull."Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4."Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4.Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4."YouTube recommends upgrading to a safer, modern browsersuch as Firefox.Note: some videos not suitable for minors may still appear in search results.Try the New YouTube Player Beta!Thank you for sharing this video!The video has been added to your playlist.Please login to add to your playlists.This video has no Responses.Change this to see only comments above a certain value.Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.Meola's Ego is just like maalmsteen's??Live version of Egyptian Danza and Race With Devil on Spanish HigwayGod playing!"Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4."Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4.Al di Meola Projekt live in TelAviv 4."YouTube recommends upgrading to a safer, modern browsersuch as Firefox.Al Di Meola rocking out at the 1998 Montreal Jazz Festival.Embed video
