Having grown a bit weary of playing loud fusion, Al Di Meola 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.
