AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Recorded shortly before Al DiMeola decided to de-emphasize
his electric guitar in favor of his acoustic counterpart, this live set
does a fine job of summing up his first six years of recordings. Four
of the six numbers (all but "Nena" and "Advantage")
were previously recorded by the pacesetting fusion guitarist. With strong
and stimulating contributions made by keyboardist Jan Hammer, electric
bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Steve Gadd, percussionist Mingo Lewis
and second keyboardist Victor Godsey (some additional keyboards and percussion
were overdubbed later in the studio), DiMeola is typically stunning on
such originals as "Elegant Gypsy Suite" and "Race With
Devil on Spanish Highway." — Scott Yanow
