Photos of Al di Meola's World Sinfonia at the Montreal International Jazz Festival on July 1, 2009, by Jake Shenker.
I belive that Meola is the "Paganini" of the guitar.
So when you are going to see a Meola's concert is like going to see a Paganini's concert and i think it's worth very much.
The other musicians of the band were also very good musicians. Specially the accordionist.
The favorite style of Meola's music as all you know is the latin style with the strange melody lines and consequently the strange harmonies.
So my thoughts and my opinion was very positive except one thing : The intermission. I think that does not need an intermission because interrupts all the feelings and the rhythm not only of the group BUT also of the PUBLIC. The commercial reasons to sale some cd and posters or some refreshments and pop-corns i believe that do not DESERVE to the big class of art of Al Di Meola and his band.
Thanks Al !!!
