Genre: Jazz fusion
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Cruisin'
Gear costume: Black Cat Shuffle
Active compensatory factors: It's hard to categorise this one. Al Di Meola is a jazz fusion guitarist but this is, at times, more of a rock album than usual thanks to the inclusion of Jan Hammer in the line up.

But then again, there's the latin infused Ritmo de la Noche and it also includes flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia and therefore sounds more like World music at times (Passion Grace and Fire being a great example).
It is the more rock oriented songs that attracted me to the album while I was working at Marbeck's Records back in the early eighties.
God Bird Change, Electric Rendevous, Cruisin', Black Cat Shuffle are all great vehicles for guitar wig outs!
Where do they all belong? A couple of compilations round out my Al Di Meola collection, and of course he is a featured guitarist in Return To Forever - a collection of jazz fusion heavy hitters that we'll come across in due course!
