Und bereits als Teenager wurde er vom Pianisten Chick Corea entdeckt und in seine Band Return To Forever geholt. Damals in den siebziger Jahren lag die Fusion-Jazz-Szene Al Di Meola zu Füssen und feierte seine fulminanten Läufe. Und in den achtziger Jahren ging sein Auftritt mit den Gitarristenkollegen Paco de Lucia und John McLaughlin als Album «Friday Night In San Francisco» um die Welt und verkaufte sich über zwei Millionen mal. Aber auch nach diesem rasanten und steilen Einstieg produzierte Al Di Meola Dutzende von Alben in allem möglichen Stilen. Der Zürcher Gitarrist Marcel Ege hat Di Meolas Karriere verfolgt, und ist Gast in der Jazz Collection mit Peter Bürli.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2007 Al Di Meola - 2007 - Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Volume I, Music of Astor Piazzolla "Too some, Al di Meola is best known for is shredding guitar work as part of Return to Forever, and also his early solo albums. But di Meola has always had an interest in flamenco styled acoustic playing ("Mediterranean Sundance" off of Elegant Gypsy, anyone?) — which is the six-string style that he fully embraces on his 2007 release, Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, Vol. 1: Music of Astor Piazzolla. Like its title says, the album is comprised solely of renditions of tunes by Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla, who is best known for trailblazing the nuevo tango style (which contained traces of both jazz and classical). And di Meola has no problem offering up a fine tribute, especially on such tracks as "Campero" and "Romantico." With Diabolic Inventions and Seduction for Solo Guitar, one of the world's most technically gifted guitarists proves once and for all that he is also one of the most versatile, as well." ~ AMG Tracklisting: 1 Campero 4:49 2 Poema Valseado 4:27 3 Tangata del Alba 5:17 4 Adios Nonino 4:52 5 Tema de Maria 5:59 6 Milonga del Angel 4:58 7 Romantico 4:35 8 Milonga Carrieguera 3:06 POSTED BY ASTRONATION AT 12:28 PM 3 COMMENTS: AstroNation said..

Contact: [email protected] Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 29-77 (2016) Flamenco Jazz: An Analytical Study Peter Manuel Since the 1990s, the hybrid genre of flamenco jazz has emerged as a dynamic and original entity in the realm of jazz, Spanish music, and the world music scene as a whole. Building on inherent compatibilities between jazz and flamenco, a generation of versatile Spanish musicians has synthesized the two genres in a wide variety of forms, creating in the process a coherent new idiom that can be regarded as a sort of mainstream flamenco jazz style. A few of these performers, such as pianist Chano Domínguez and wind player Jorge Pardo, have achieved international acclaim and become luminaries on the Euro-jazz scene. Indeed, flamenco jazz has become something of a minor bandwagon in some circles, with that label often being adopted, with or without rigor, as a commercial rubric to promote various sorts of productions (while conversely, some of the genre’s top performers are indifferent to the label 1). Meanwhile, however, as increasing numbers of gifted performers enter the field and cultivate genuine and substantial syntheses of flamenco and jazz, the new genre has come to merit scholarly attention for its inherent vitality, richness, and significance in the broader jazz world.

    BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE BIOGRAFÍA Roy Haynes nació el 13 de marzo de 1925 en Boston, Massachusetts. A finales de los años cuarenta y principios de los cincuenta, Roy Haynes tuvo la clase de aprendizaje que constituiría el sueño de cualquier músico actual: sentarse en el puesto de baterista y acompañar al gran Charlie Parker. Ahora, cincuenta años después, y tras haber tocado con todos los grandes del jazz: Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, o Bud Powell, todavía coloca sus grabaciones en la cima de las listas de las revistas especializadas en jazz. Este veterano baterista, comenzó su andadura profesional en las bigbands de Frankie Newton y Louis Russell (1945-1947) y el siguiente paso fue tocar entre 1947 y 1949 con el maestro el saxo tenor, Lester Young. Entre 1949 y 1952, formo parte del quinteto de Charlie Parker y desde ese privilegiado taburete vio pasar a las grandes figuras del bebop y aprender de ellas. Acompañó a la cantante Sarah Vaughan, por los circuitos del jazz en los Estados Unidos entre 1953 y 1958 y cuando finalizó su trabajo grabo con Thelonious Monk, George Shearing y Lennie Tristano entre otros y ocasionalmente sustituía a Elvin Jones en el cuarteto de John Coltrane. Participó en la dirección de la Banda Sonora Original de la película "Bird" dirigida por Clint Eastwood en 1988 y todavía hoy en activo, Roy Haynes, es una autentica bomba dentro de un escenario como pudimos personalmente comprobar en uno de sus últimos conciertos celebrados en España y mas concretamente en Sevilla en el año 2000. En 1994, Roy Haynes recibió el premio Danish Jazzpar, que se concede en Dinamarca.

First of all there was the flamenco firework in the best-seller Elegant Gypsy, and secondly his mega-successful live album resulting from a summit meeting in San Francisco with catalogue # Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin. After this great start it was no wonder that such 36270 prominent colleagues as Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Steve Gadd, Anthony Jackson and Les Paul were eager to participate in the present album Splendido Hotel. This great set contents 2 LPs / gatefold sleeve line-up of musicians produce a rich, saturated sound and create numerous "flavours" in this cocktail of sounds, which - as a double LP - can be likened to a fantastic long pricecode drink, as it were. Di Meola's idea of fusion starts off in the opening number as a slow, SC02 sluggish oriental-like melody, which develops to take on a rock rhythm. High-speed release date and lovingly detailed flamenco such as is found in Splendido Sundance alternates with February 2016 subtle rhythms (Two To Tango) and good-humoured lighter numbers with an elec- barcode tronic undertone such as Roller Jubilee and a funky version of Bert Kaempfert's Span- ish Eyes.
