This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Acoustic jazz-guitar virtuoso Al DiMeola showcases his firepowered fretwork in a two-hour concert taped last year in Germany. But it isn’t all about Al.
As a nimble drummer and a percussionist supply the spicy world-beat grooves DiMeola has favoured as of late, a pianist and string quartet colour elegantly between the lines of his turbocharged arpeggios and flamenco-flavoured melodies. Granted, its genteel coffeehouse ambience and seated performances may make it a bit too sedate for the average viewer. But the jazz buffs and guitarists in the crowd will dig it.
