Al Di Meola - Splendido Hotel - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Gatefold Double LP

After the flamenco firework of his best-seller "Elegant Gypsy" and the mega-successful San Francisco summit with Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola gathered prominent colleagues — Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Steve Gadd, Anthony Jackson and Les Paul among them — for this rich, saturated double album. Di Meola's fusion ranges from oriental-tinged melodies that build to rock rhythms and high-speed flamenco ("Splendido Sundance") to subtle rhythms ("Two To Tango") and a funky take on Bert Kaempfert's "Spanish Eyes" — a wonderful atmosphere in which every Latin aficionado will feel at home.
