Description
The Jersey City guitar virtuoso Al Di Meola delivered with “Splendido Hotel” his fourth solo studio album after the disbanding of Return To Forever around 1976. Released as a double LP in 1980 Al Di Meola recorded his self-produced album with a lot of guests such as the legendary Les Paul on Bert Kaempferts‘ “Spanish Eyes” , Anthony Jackson, Chick Corea, Jan Hammer, Steve Gadd and Eddie Colon. After his highly rated album “Casino” Meola continued to explore Latin music within jazz fusion, this time a little more acoustic than electric. With “Splendido Hotel” Al Di Meola absolutely proves to be one of the best guitar players of the world.
