“Er ist sehr melodisch, auch in der Improvisation; und wenn man ein Stück zum ersten Mal hört, ist es schwer zu unterscheiden, wo die Komposition endet und wo die Improvisation beginnt. Das ist eine große Begabung und ich glaube, das ist auch der Grund seiner Popularität als Gitarrist.” (Steve Khan) Al Di Meola (1954 in New Jersey geboren) wurde als 20-Jähriger mit Chick Corea’s Return To Forever bekannt und als Leader eigener Bands ein Star im Fusion-Lager. Den musikalischen Ritterschlag erhielt er im akustischen Gitarren-Trio mit John McLaughlin und Paco de Lucia und der gemeinsamen Erfolgsscheibe “Friday Night In San Francisco”. Genau 20 Jahre ist dies nun her, und seit dieser Zeit hat Di Meola sein Spiel enorm verfeinert. Nicht mehr höher, schneller, weiter lautet seine Devise, fulminante Technik wurde der Mittel zum Zweck, subtile Emotionen in mitreißende Klänge zu wandeln. Mit seiner World-Sinfonia-Band - ein international besetztes Ensemble mit Pianist Mario Parmisano, Bassist John Pattitucci, Gitarrist Hernan Romero und drei versierten Percussionisten - tritt er auf The Grande Passion den Beweis an. Weltmusik im besten Sinn des Wortes hat sich Al Di Meola auf den Banner geschrieben und dazu sechs Eigenkompositionen sowie drei Songs aus der Feder des verstorbenen New-Tango-Meisters Astor Piazzolla spannend-gefühlvoll in Szene gesetzt. Heraus kam dabei ein Album, welches unterstreicht, dass Jazz auch über Landes- und Stil-Grenzen hinweg funktioniert.
On The Grande Passion, guitarist extraordinaire Al Di Meola explores melody and rhythmic diversity with the help of his acoustic group, World Sinfonia.
A legendary figure in jazz and progressive rock, Di Meola continues his tradition of mixing the sounds of world music together with his own contemporary vision. His latest edition of World Sinfonia spotlights a group of internationally renowned players, including pianist Mario Parmisano, bassist John Pattitucci, guitarist / vocalist Hernan Romero, and percussionists Arto Tuncboyacian, Gilad, and Gumbi Ortiz.
The Grande Passion includes six Di Meola originals and three compositions by the late Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla ("Double Concerto," "Soledad," and "Libertango"). Di Meola’s friendship with Piazzolla before his death had a profound effect on the guitarist, deepening his ties to the music of South America.
First tapped by Chick Corea in 1974 for Return to Forever, Al Di Meola’s fruitful career spans a range of styles, emotions, and instruments. From the velocity and heat of his solo efforts to his challenging work with the Guitar Trio and beyond, Di Meola has matured into a composer of deepening grace and lyricism who consistently breaks new ground.
Di Meola’s critically acclaimed Winter Nights, with Peter Gabriel’s "Mercy Street" and Paul Simon’s "Scarborough Fair," was his first ever Christmas CD. His Telarc debut, The Infinite Desire, has sold more than 100, 000 copies to date and spent over 3 months on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart. In Germany, The Infinite Desire spent over 20 weeks on the jazz chart, rising to #3. In Italy, it reached #1 and spent 8 weeks on the jazz chart. (concordmusicgroup. com)

Rezensionen
Jazz thing Nr. 36/00: "Das Besondere an "The Grande Passion" ist die fließende Verbindung von lyrischer Romantik, Sensibilität und rhythmischer Eleganz, zu der die Streicher (und Bläser) des Toronto Symphony Orchestra und auch die Piazolla-Kompositionen ihren Teil bei- tragen."- Tracklisting
