After 30 years of a splendid career and exploring a variety of styles, Al Di Meola still ranks among the most popular guitar masters of jazz and jazz-rock. On stage with Speak a Volcano, in Leverkusen, and surrounded by a band including his old companion and superb percussionist Gumbi Ortiz, Di Meola rediscovered his love of the electric guitar without denying newer influences. The result is a balancing act between volcanic electronic ecstasy and emotionally moving sound excursions.
