| Al Di Meola Hosts Four-night Residency At Blue Note Al Di Meola and the World Sinfonia will open a four-night residency at New York City's storied Blue Note on Thursday, March 10 through Sunday, March 13. The 11-time winner of Guitar Player's Best Jazz Guitarist award will play favorites from his 35-year catalog, as well as new songs from the virtuoso's upcoming 'Pursuit of Radical Rhapsody, ' out March 15 on Telarc International, a division of Concord Music Group. Backed by the World Sinfonia, Di Meola's "impressive stylistic range" (NY Times) and "impassioned, intricate tunes that [wed] jazz, rock and folk traditions" (Hartford Courant) take on a life of their own on the stage, and songs can travel from the emotive to the celebratory at the drop of a hat. Di Meola's shows have been called "legendary - energetic, emotional roller coasters brimming with fiery passion, delicate arrangements and his inspiring technique" (AZ Daily Star). write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
