Product description

Al Di Meola's "Elegant Gypsy," released in 1977 under Columbia Records, is a seminal work in the jazz fusion genre, blending the fiery passion of flamenco with the intricate complexities of fusion. As Al Di Meola's second solo album, it showcases his virtuosic guitar skills and innovative compositions, cementing his status as a pioneering force in the genre. The album features iconic tracks like "Mediterranean Sundance," a collaboration with the legendary Paco de Lucía, and "Friday Night in San Francisco," which includes the legendary John McLaughlin. With a runtime of just under 38 minutes, "Elegant Gypsy" packs a punch, delivering a dynamic and engaging listening experience. The album's recent remaster by Bernie Grundman offers improved clarity, dynamics, and spatial presentation, making it a fresh and exciting listen for both new and longtime fans. Al Di Meola's mastery of the guitar and his ability to seamlessly blend genres make "Elegant Gypsy" a standout album in his discography and a testament to his enduring influence in the world of jazz fusion.

Groovy Late '70s Journey
5 out of 5 stars

Unfamiliar with this artist. Grabbed this on a whim from the thrift store. It was shelved alongside "Breezin'" and Mantovani. I went ahead and picked up all three. Groovy, late '70s electric guitar with a South American feel. It transports you and leaves you gently invigorated, in a more composed state of mind. Perfect for unwinding a bit after a long day. Listen to it all at once, it's a deliberate journey. At least as good as "Beeezin'", if not overhyped. If not a masterpiece, then a darn impressive piece of art that should endure.
Press Perfection with Paco

Spot on press. Great sound covering a broad musical range. Instruments come through crisp and distinct. Nice packaging with Spanish subtitles due to the team-up with Paco de Lucía.
Al di Meola's Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
ivbsuk.falFebruary 17, 2025United States🇺🇸
Absolute genius, I'm serious. Al di Meola solidified his place as a true guitar legend with this album. Every track is a masterpiece, with no weak or filler songs. 'No 3' has since become a flamenco standard, 'No 4' is an incredible shredding showcase, and 'No 6' beautifully blends the styles of the first two tracks. The rest of the songs are just as impressive. 10/10, no doubt.
