Personnel: Al Di Meola (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, synthesizer, castanets, maracas, percussion); Barry Miles (piano, electric piano, organ, Moog synthesizer); Jan Hammer (electric piano, Moog synthesizer); Victor Godsey, Philippe Saisse (keyboards); Anthony Jackson (bass guitar); Lenny White, Steve Gadd (drums); Mingo Lewis (congas, bongos, timbales, percussion); Eddie Colon (percussion). If you're an air guitarist, Al di Meola has likely been your man since his days as an unknown 21-year-old addition to Chick Corea's Return to Forever in the mid-'70s. Over the years since leaving RTF, he has been afforded the opportunity to record regularly, and this CD represents a good overview of his discography, primarily for the Columbia family of labels. His early dates Land of the Midnight Sun, Elegant Gypsy, and Casino are well represented, in addition to his collaborations with Jan Hammer on Tour de Force: Live. His middle-period efforts are not all that vital, as repeat ideas and predictable flash lost their original value even to the staunchest fans, therefore making this collection less than essential. ~ Michael G.
