AL DI MEOLA THE WIZARD HOW TO
I don’t know where to start with this or how to describe it, as there is a lot of great guitar playing. The musicians for this song are Al Di Meola on guitars, Anthony Jackson on bass, Steve Gadd on drums and Mingo Lewis on percussion. A percussionist extraordinaire in my opinion as he wrote some amazing guitar riffs here. Its written by Mingo Lewis and I had no idea who he was until I looked at the credits and saw that he’s the percussionist. Players like Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Marty Friedman and Kirk Hammet all cited him as an influence to them, so it was just a matter of time and funds before I checked him out and goddamn what a revelation it was. I got into Di Meola because he was getting a lot of “word of mouth” promotion from the 80’s players in the Guitar magazines. It looks like a Science teacher I had at school and you know when artists would say “you should buy an album based on the cover”, well I never would have purchased this one. 6 songs that clock in at about 38 minutes.ĭi Meola was 21 when this album was released and his technical skills are very high. “Land of the Midnight Sun” is the debut album by jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola, released in 1976.
