Free Music Notes for Vocal Rendezvous

Free Music Review: Something for everyone
Hit: 5 Stars

I grant that VR is not typical ADM fare. Ego Works took Al's compositional motifs and massaged them into something that was (in his own words) "outside of anything I would have done on my own." The result is a unique crossover of "Al-Di meets the R&B -Pop vocal world concept."

Let's face it. Al's music targets a rather small niche market. He is a master guitar player and one of the world's greatest living composers, and he writes his music for elite guitarists who cannot get enough of Al's jazz-fusion style that is uniquely his own.

Vocal Rendezvous makes Al's brilliant playing accessible to the wider audience of those who like mainstream dance music. If you enjoy the tunes of Angie Stone, Macy Gray, Beverley Knight, and MC Solaar then you will flip over this music. As dance music, VR is the best there is. These songs will certainly climb the list on your top-40.

For this project Al is following the formula used in the recent chart topping successes of Carlos Santana. If you enjoyed Shaman, Supernatural and All That I Am, then you will certainly enjoy this album. VR deserves the same popular reception that Santana has enjoyed of late.

For those of you that are hard-core Al-Di fans, like myself, and generally HATE dance music, there are four instrumentals (yes, four - the album jacket is misleading by listing only three) that will be very much to your likening. And no true fan can sleep well at night knowing that four ADM compositions are missing from his/her collection.

Five stars for four instrumentals and for seeking to expand the minds of those stuck in the pallid world of dance-pop.

Vocal Rendezvous Poster

For some thirty years Al Di Meola has been among the most expressive and innovative jazz and jazz-rock guitarists worldwide. At 19 he won his first Grammy together with Chick Corea's all-star act, Return to Forever, and made history as a solo artist, captivating the world with his accomplished albums, Land Of The Midnight Sun and Elegant Gypsy. No other guitarist before him has mixed rock, jazz, Latin elements and world music as successfully and impressively as Di Meola. He went on to alternate increasingly between the electric and the classical guitar, forming inspired trios with colleagues such as Paco de Lucía and John McLaughlin, or later with bassist Stanley Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. Always on the lookout for new challenges, Al Di Meola has now recorded a very special and exceptional album, entitled Vocal Rendezvous, featuring material recorded in cooperation with artists such as Xavier Naidoo, Angie Stone, Macy Gray, MC Solar and Swedish pop singer, Bosson. Vocal Rendezvous is a thoroughly distinctive offering in Al Di Meola's longstanding career and certainly one that marks him as an accomplished wanderer between different stylistic worlds.
