STANLEY CLARKE, AL DI MEOLA & JEAN-LUC PONTY: THE RITE OF STRINGS

Those who know me, or know my reviewing style may find it a surprise that I give such a low key recording such a high review, but this album deserves it.

Sometimes you just need something light to listen to, like when relaxing on the porch with an ice cold drink, or entertaining guests at an evening yard party. This is a perfect selection for such occasions. All three of these masters are in top form, all blending well, whether soloing or backing up the other two performers. At no time does anyone hog the spotlight.

Some of these songs have been recorded before, in a different style, like Ponty's "Renaissance" (misspelled "Renassaince" on the CD cover), originally from his excellent album Aurora, but all work well in this grouping.
