Al Di Meola • Tirami Su

Review by Scott Yanow

Al di Meola, who in his early days sometimes sacrificed feeling for speed (he always had remarkable technique), grew and developed through the years. His final of three Manhattan releases is his finest, a sextet outing with keyboardist Kei Akagi, electric bassist Anthony Jackson, acoustic bassist Harvie Swartz, drummer Tommy Brechtlein, and his longtime percussionist, Mino Cinelu. Having grown out of his fusion roots, di Meola's interest in world music and folk music from other countries is displayed throughout this colorful set, particularly on such numbers as "Beijing Demons," "Song to the Pharoah Kings," and the exciting "Rhapsody of Fire."

Al di Meola, quien en sus primeros días a veces sacrificaba la sensibilidad por la velocidad (siempre tenía una técnica notable), creció y se desarrolló a lo largo de los años. Su final de los tres lanzamientos de Manhattan es el mejor, una salida en sexteto con el teclista Kei Akagi, el bajista eléctrico Anthony Jackson, el bajista acústico Harvie Swartz, el baterista Tommy Brechtlein y su percusionista de mucho tiempo, Mino Cinelu. Habiendo crecido fuera de sus raíces de fusión, el interés de Di Meola por la música mundial y la música folklórica de otros países se muestra a lo largo de este colorido conjunto, particularmente en números como "Demonios de Beijing", "Canción para los Reyes Faraón" y la emocionante "Rhapsody de fuego."
