Description
“Land of the Midnight Sun” is the first solo album by Al Di Meola, originally released in 1976. The complex pieces, which include the three-part “Suite-Golden Dawn”, an acoustic duet with Chick Corea on “Short Tales of the Black Forest” and a brief Bach violin sonata, show Di Meola‘s range even at this early stage. With assistance from such top players as bassists Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke, keyboardist Barry Miles and drummers Lenny White and Steve Gadd, this was a very impressive beginning to Al Di Meola‘s solo career.
