My two favourite acoustic guitar albums from Al Di Meola.
The original World Sinfonia group has a unique sound, thanks mainly to the bandoneon playing of Dino Saluzzi. The instrument imparts a haunting quality to the music, melancholic and uplifting in equal measure.
The fusion of jazz and tango is another highlight; an unusual combo that takes the music of Astor Piazzolla to the next level.
These 45 rpm reissues also sound fantastic; holographic in their soundstage.
