Al Di Meola

Al Di Meola was one of the dominant figures in jazz rock fusion in the seventies and eighties, first with Return to Forever, which also featured Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke, and later as a solo artist. His albums have dominated the US jazz charts and he has frequently earned top honours in Guitar Player magazine’s polls. From the late eighties onwards he has moved away from jazz fusion to concentrate primarily on acoustic guitar, with an increasing Latin influence.
