Almost immediately after hearing the Beatles' North American debut album at eight years old, Al di Meola decided he wanted to become a musician. Just 11 years later, he was recruited by Chick Corea to replace Bill Connors in the legendary jazz fusion band Return to Forever, together with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White. His tenure turned out to be a short one-just two years-but turned out to coincide with the group's career peak. Around the time the group broke up, he released his first record Land of the Midnight Sun, followed by Elegant Gypsy already a year later. Here, he showcased his prowess for fast electric guitar riffs, lyrical acoustic passages, and every technique in between. The record clearly showcases his predilection for flamenco and Latin jazz, exemplified by the record's two most important tunes InchMediterranean SundanceInch and InchRace With Devil On Spanish HighwayInch. Elegant Gypsy is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl and includes in insert.

The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl, a Brian Morton 'Number One Essential' Recommendation. Armstrong and Duke Ellington together. Duke and Louis had known each other since the mid- twenties and were booked to play alternately on the same stage many times. However, their recorded collaborations prior to this album are truly scarce. This combo session here finds Louis playing Ellington compositions with Duke on piano and backed by Louis' own All Stars - minus, of course, the combo's regular pianist Billy Kyle. InchThe music resulting from this Bob Thiele (produce)inspired experiment is outstanding and utterly essential. This is one of the most intriguing confluences in all of recorded jazz. Armstrong blew his horn with authority and sang beautifully and robustly.Inch - * AllMusic
