Di Meola, Al - Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Volume 1
SKU
21-INAK9080
Al is a very fine guitarist, although personally I've found him to be a bit 'bloodless' at times. But his love for Astor Piazolla's music and the music of the tango in general brings out some of his most appealing (for me anyway) aspects. This is Al's first all-acoustic solo guitar album.
"Al’s personal desire for the music in this solo acoustic guitar (his first!) context was to bring his own vision by incorporating a syncopated rhythm concept unlike its original written conception. His friendship with Astor Piazzolla proved to be a turning point in his life. Astor encouraged him to bring to Astor’s music his own voice and expression. Through their many conversations, Astor described his music as "diabolic", referring to the radical departure from the standard Tango music of the past."
