Remains one of the premier talents of our generation
by JammerFam on 9/16/22The Vogel at Count Basie Center for the Arts - Red BankRating: 5 out of 5Having seen Al Di Meola many times over the past 30 years, I never cease to amazed at each show. He is an amazing performer and no two tours are the same. This particular night was acoustic with a second guitarist, drummer, and tambla player. Each musician is world class and each contributed to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Al Di Meola is still among the finest guitarists ever to have played the instrument and he continues to explore and find new and interesting approaches to his music as well as in his interpretations of standards. He even paid beautiful respect to the Beatles with Norwegian Wood and Stawberry Fields (acoustically!). Incredible show, great stories, and very congenial. And aside from Al Di Meola's impressive musicianship, Amit Kavithar on tambla sent chills via his musicianship, never have I heard percussion played any better If you love jazz, progressive, and rock, see Al Di Meola.
