Live at Montreux 1986/1993

Catalogue No: EE390469

Eagle Vision is delighted to be releasing the first batch of DVD’s from the archives of the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. Al Di Meola was one of the dominant figures in jazz rock fusion in the seventies and eighties, first with Return To Forever, which also featured Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke, and later as a solo artist. His albums have dominated the US jazz charts and he has frequently earned top honours in Guitar Player magazine’s polls. From the late eighties onwards he has moved away from jazz fusion to concentrate primarily on acoustic guitar, with an increasing Latin influence. This DVD draws on two of Al Di Meola’s performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The earliest from 1986 is a solo acoustic performance. The second concert from 1993 features Di Meola with guitarist Chris Carrington and percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan, who also provides vocals on some tracks.
