Alan Shapiro's Album Reviews
When you have guitarists extraordinare; Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia you can do nothing but sit and listen for 40 minutes with your mouth and eyes wide open.
They play perfectly in sync, speed is otherworldly and each note is extraordinarily clean.
It will take you a few listens to finally hear the melody because even though they are playing a melody you are mesmerized by their astonishing pyrotechnic talent.
After listening to this a few times I would recommend highly to listen to this with headphones. It is wonderful to easily discern each guitar player; on the right, on the left, and in the center. And the liner notes identifies who each guitarist is.
The album is listed as a live album and four songs are from a live performance but the highlight for me is the song "guardian angel" which is the only song done in the studio.
For any fan of fusion jazz this album is a masterpiece.
