Over 40 years ago, young Al Di Meola released his second, extremely successful studio album Elegant Gypsy. With "Elegant Gypsy & More LIVE", recorded last year during his acclaimed US tour of the same name, he is revisiting some of his brilliant, earlier works such as Race With Devil On Spanish Highway, Flight Over Rio, Midnight Tango or Egyptian Danza. With the just recently released studio album "OPUS", Al Di Meola not only topped the TOP 5 of the Official German Jazz Album Charts and burst to position of the US Contemporary Jazz Album Charts, but once again underlines his flexibility and quality as a Guitar superstar. Al Di Meola - the brilliant, virtuosic t, composer and arranger, who is considered to be one of the most innovative musicians and a living legend - is a pioneer of blending world music and jazz.
Al DiMeola's second album Elegant Gypsy (1977) proved to become one of the defining albums in Fusion. Elegant Gypsy was certified Gold in the United States. 180 gram audiophile vinyl

With his acclaimed current studio album 'OPUS', Al Di Meola not only topped the TOP 5 of the Official German Jazz Album Charts and burst to position in the US Contemporary Jazz Album Charts, but once again proved his status as a 'guitar superstar'. His curriculum vitae is full of exciting musical moments and incredible works and he still finds ways to challenging himself: he is a jack-of-all-trades, who does not take a real break in supposedly quieter times. With 'Elegant Gypsy & More LIVE'; partly recorded on his very successful 'Elegant Gypsy 40th Anniversary'-US Tour in 2017, Al Di Meola proves once again that jazz music tremendously 'rocks'. Above all, for him it is also a journey back to his musical beginning, which he brings to new heights with fantastic versions of songs like 'Race With Devil On Spanish Highway', 'Flight Over Rio', 'Midnight Tango' or 'Egyptian Danza'.
Apply by May 31 for Wilson Center Guitar Competition. Al Di Meola on Saturday.
