I started with Elegant Gypsy and it was a great discovery, a masterpiece IMO.
 
Jazz, Flamenco, Rock, heavy stuff. A very diverse album.

These 4 albums are IMO his best ones, but he usually makes quality music. But get these first

Land of the Midnight Sun
Elegant Gypsy
Casino
Scenario Live

You should also pick up the Return to Forever albums he's on (and get the rest while you're at it Wink)

Romantic Warrior
Where Have I Known You Before
No Mystery

 ^ ah his first.. very funky Cool

I agree with Scenario, but my favorite period is late 80s/90s;  Cielo e Terra, Tirami Su and all three World Sinfonia albums: World Sinfonia, Heart of the Immigrants and The Grande Passion

Any help:

Remember the Go projects were released as Stomu Yamashta albums with guests

I bought Casino the other day and it's a sexy album.... I'd go as far as to say I like it more than Land of the Midnight Sun. Now I have his first three. Luckily I discovered that the Tower Records store around here has a lot of Al Di Meola (before I didn't even bother to check the top floor for some reason)... So next I'm probably gonna get Splendido Hotel and/or Infinite Desire.  ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 08:30:32 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18957&PID=1887175#1887175 Al Di Meola recommandations : Elegant Gipsy Land Of The Midnight... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18957&PID=1887165#1887165 Author: ANDREW

Splendido Hotel - slightly sprauling double vinyl release, but several gems of tracks - Les Paul guests on one!


Scenario  creeps in as my favourite. Once called 'the last jazz rock album' (but as it was released in 1978ish, makes such statements premature), has a variety of stars making guest appearances, including Bill Bruford and Phil Collins - Jan Hammer's very distinctive (mini-Moog) keyboards  on many tracks and makes this special to me.

 

Also look out for the one off: Al DiMeola/Steve Vai: Race With The Devil On Turkish Highway

on  Infinite Desire

I'm not sure if it's a full fledged tour, I just know that he's on thebill to play one night at a summer music festival in my hometown(Chattanooga, TN.).

I'm a new fan of Al Di Meola. I downloaded a bunch of his songs on Lime Wire and my friend sent me Romatic Warrior on MSN and I absolutely love Al Di Meola's style. I just ordered Elegant Gypsy and Land of the Midnight Sun yesterday. Next week I plan on ordering Romantic Warrior, maybe Friday Night in San Fransisco, and another one of his studio albums. I'm not sure which other studio album to get because I'm not familiar with his catalogue. I've been thinking of getting Kiss My Axe, Splendido Hotel, or maybe Infinite Desire. But my friend told me Orange and Blue is really good and recommended it to me. But I don't know. Any recommandations?
