1	Romantic Warrior (1976) more music like this by Return to Forever add to wishlist The most popular and successful lineup of Return to Forever -- Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, and Al Di Meola -- was coming off the Grammy-winning No Mystery when it recorded its third and final album, Romantic Warrior. It has been suggested that in employing a medieval album cover (drawn by Wilson McLean), using titles like "Medieval ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $5.22!
2	Friday Night in San Francisco (1980) more music like this by Al di Meola/John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucía add to wishlist Loose and spontaneous, this (mainly) live album is a meeting of three of the greatest guitarists in the world for an acoustic summit the likes of which the guitar-playing community rarely sees. Broken up into three duo and two trio performances, Friday Night in San Francisco catches all three players at the peaks of their quite formidable powers. ... see all copies from $5.09! new only from $5.86!
3	Rite of Strings (1995) more music like this by Stanley Clarke/Al Di Meola/Jean-Luc Ponty add to wishlist Any time the likes of Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola and Jean-Luc Ponty are assembled, there is a good chance the results are going to be impressive. Clarke and DiMeola had played together in the legendary Return to Forever, producing some of the most intense playing in all of fusion; Jean-Luc Ponty had also made several excellent, very diverse ... see all copies from $39.72!
4	Guitar Trio: Paco de Lucia/John McLaughlin/Al Di Meola (1996) more music like this by Paco de Lucia/John McLaughlin/Al Di Meola add to wishlist Guitar Trio is an excellent collaborative effort from three of the finest jazz guitarists of the post-rock & roll era: Paco de Lucía, John McLaughlin, and Al di Meola. Throughout the record, the trio doesn't just showcase their instrumental skills; they demonstrate their musicality. This is sympathetic, emotional musicianship, where each musician ... see all copies from $4.30! new only from $12.51!
5	No Mystery (1975) more music like this by Return to Forever add to wishlist The fourth edition of Return to Forever was a band that emphasized the screaming wah-wah guitar of Al Di Meola and every electric keyboard Chick Corea could get his hands on to play furiously fast runs. Where the initial, airy Flora Purim/Airto/Joe Farrell edition gave way to the second undocumented group featuring Earl Klugh, and the third band ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $9.14!
6	Kiss My Axe (1992) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Despite the aggression its title implies, Kiss My Axe is the work of a softer, more reflective Al di Meola, who had become greatly influenced by Pat Metheny's subtle lyricism, but still had a very recognizable and distinctive sound. Di Meola's new approach was perfectly summarized when, in 1991, he told Jazz Times he wanted to be "enchanted" by ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $6.83!
7	Gypsy Soul: New Flamenco (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Gypsy Soul: New Flamenco is an excellent collection that contains a variety of artists who perform "New Flamenco" -- that is, contemporary variations on classic flamenco themes. There's a variety of different artists here, from hard rocker Slash and fusion star Al di Meola to Miguel de la Bastide, José Luis Encinas, Ottmar Liebart, and Jesse Cook. ... see all copies from $7.64! new only from $11.97!
8	Consequence of Chaos (2006) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist The sticker on the disc's cover states that this is "a return to his solid-body electric guitar," and while that may be true in parts, Consequence of Chaos is still pretty far from the tense, nonstop electric sizzle of di Meola's first three albums, which are landmarks in the jazz fusion genre. And while there is plenty of electric guitar here -- ... see all copies from $11.80! new only from $12.72!
9	The Infinite Desire (1998) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist With the help of new generations of guitar synthesizers and samplers, The Infinite Desire finds a mature, lyrical, more expressive Al di Meola casting his lot with Telarc, which until the late '90s had concentrated its attentions upon aging acoustic jazzers. Indeed, he makes marvelously musical use of the new devices, creating sensuous, exotic ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $9.14!
10	Flesh on Flesh (2002) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Al di Meola continues to broaden his musical horizons with Flesh on Flesh, his fourth release for the Telarc recording label. The great guitarist is joined by two members of his World Sinfonia acoustic group -- Gumbi Ortiz on percussion and Mario Parmisano on keyboards -- in addition to such stellar musicians as Gonzalo Rubalcaba, flutist ... see all copies from $15.34! new only from $15.34!
11	Scenario (1983) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist With this recording, Al di Meola thankfully left behind the pop-fusion sound that he had perfected with Jan Hammer. This was his first venture using the Roland guitar synthesizer and a drum machine. The technology used on this recording sounds dated, but the intent seems genuine. Jan Hammer's Miami Vice sound can be heard throughout, especially on ... see all copies from $6.24!
12	Winter Nights (1999) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Al di Meola's first so-called Christmas album is a relaxed, flowing, intensely musical affair that jazzers, world music buffs, and new agers will feel equally comfortable with. Mostly, he steers away from the often-cracked chestnuts, composing several nice tunes of his own ("Zima," the leadoff cut, is especially inviting), playing acoustic guitar ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
13	Cosmopolitan Life [2005] (2005) more music like this by Al di Meola/Leonid Agutin add to wishlist see all copies from $17.08! new only from $17.08!
14	Soaring Through a Dream (1985) more music like this by Al di Meola Project add to wishlist This recently reissued 1985 date has plenty of electric bombast, along with ample examples of DiMeola's piercing acoustic style. What it lacks is the energy and creative integrity that underscores DiMeola's World Sinfonia sessions and his classic Splendido Hotel. There are some pretty melodies, an entrancing moment or two, and too many interludes ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $31.75!
15	Anthology (2000) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Sony's third anthology of Return to Forever guitarist Al di Meola's Columbia Records years hits most of the bases and scores extra points by adding four previously unavailable live tracks that account for a whopping 40 minutes of playing time. The double disc features 16 songs from di Meola's seven albums for the label from 1975-1983 and ... see all copies from $15.32! new only from $15.32!
16	Di Meola Plays Piazzolla (1990) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Latin music has been a strong influence on Al Di Meola since his early years, and in the '90s, he paid especially close attention to the music of Argentina. A welcome addition to his already impressive catalog, Di Meola Plays Piazzolla pays homage to the late Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla (whose distinctive and very poetic brand of ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
17	Contemporary Jazz Masters: Sampler, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Big-hit items from past CTI albums, designed to get the casual buyer interested in the series. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
18	The Best of Al Di Meola: The Manhattan Years (1992) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist This is the best of Al di Meola's years with the Manhattan label, which only included three releases: Cielo e Terra, Soaring Through a Dream, and Tirami Su. The selections here are an adequate representation of his output during this three-session stint, so this is fine for the casual fan. Those with more interest are encouraged to check out all ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $8.99!
19	Splendido Hotel (1980) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Talk about ambitious. This two-LP set finds guitarist Al di Meola performing with his quintet of the time (featuring keyboardist Philippe Saisse), with studio musicians, solo, in a reunion with pianist Chick Corea, singing a love song, and welcoming veteran Les Paul for a version of "Spanish Eyes." Most of the music works quite well and it shows ... see all copies from $3.18! new only from $3.18!
20	Land of the Midnight Sun (1976) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist One of the guitar heroes of fusion, Al di Meola was just 22-years-old at the time of his debut as a leader but already a veteran of Chick Corea's Return to Forever. The complex pieces (which include the three-part "Suite-Golden Dawn," an acoustic duet with Corea on "Short Tales of the Black Forest," and a brief Bach violin sonata show di Meola's ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $4.75!
21	The Grande Passion: World Sinfonia (2000) more music like this by Al di Meola World Sinfonia add to wishlist A rich, moody tapestry with flashes of fire, this CD incorporates elements of jazz, fusion, classical, Latin, tango, and Middle Eastern music. Sounding like the romantic soundtrack to an excellent foreign film, it's full of splendid moments, like the wash of colors on "Double Concerto," a sinuous composition by Al di Meola's "musical father and ... see all copies from $5.53! new only from $17.02!
22	Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Vol. 1: Music of Astor Piazzolla (2007) more music like this by Al di Meola add to wishlist Too some, Al di Meola is best known for is shredding guitar work as part of Return to Forever, and also his early solo albums. But di Meola has always had an interest in flamenco styled acoustic playing ("Mediterranean Sundance" off of Elegant Gypsy, anyone?) -- which is the six-string style that he fully embraces on his 2007 release, Diabolic ... see all copies from $11.78! new only from $11.78!
23	The Best of Return to Forever (1985) more music like this by Return to Forever add to wishlist The title is a misnomer; this only covers their most rock-oriented music. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $29.88!
24	Six Strings II: The Burning Sessions (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
25	The Six String (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Subtitled "A Compilation of Extraordinary Acoustic Guitar Music," The Six String draws on the Mesa label's catalog for its concentration on world fusion jazz. There are African, Asian, and Latin American influences all over the disc, some more authentic-sounding, others smoother and more polished, but most of the artists turn in compelling music ... see all copies from $1.99!
