Producer: Al DiMeola. Reissue producer: Mike Berniker. Includes liner notes by Bill Milkowski. Digitally remastered by Tim Geelan (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). Talk about ambitious. This two-LP set finds guitarist Al di Meola performing with his quintet of the time (featuring keyboardist Philippe Saisse), with studio musicians, solo, in a reunion with pianist Chick Corea, singing a love song, and welcoming veteran Les Paul for a version of "Spanish Eyes." Most of the music works quite well and it shows that di Meola (best-known for his speedy rock-oriented solos) is a surprisingly well-rounded and versatile musician. ~ Scott Yanow
