Having grown a bit weary of playing loud fusion, Al DiMeola recorded a largely acoustic set on his debut for Manhattan.
DiMeola, who augments his acoustic guitar with the orchestral Synclavier guitar, plays five unaccompanied solos and is joined on the other four numbers by percussionist Airto Moreira.
Other than Keith Jarrett's "Coral," all of the moody selections are by the guitarist.
An interesting, if not overly memorable, atmospheric set.
