Al diMeola - Nice entry to Jazz Rock and Fusion:
If I remember right this was my 1st Jazzrock LP which I bought in the 80's. I heard the song "Flight over Rio" and "Race with devil on Spanish Highway" in a local pub where we used to meet friends. I was excited about this music and bought several LPs of Al. But none of the following one were so brilliant like this one IMHO. Also the acoustics are very nicely played. Later I found Al playing in "Return to Forever" with Chick Corea. I was always fascinated about the scales and the preciseness and ease of playing them. If you don't know it already, give it a try, its worth it. Bits///...

The Voice control is a timeline which chronicles the evolution of the genre from the earliest American designs through to British designs of the ’60s and ’70s. This is achieved by switching the preamplifier voicing and power amplifier damping simultaneously.
