ORANGE AND BLUE

Come on people! This is a great album by an excellent guitar player and composer. I can't believe that no one has given a review of this album. But I am glad to have the honor of being the first. I have to say that I'm more surprised that so little people have reviewed Elegant Gypsy, his best work (which people have seemed to recognize at least). This album is more mellow but in no way is it weak. After all, Elegant Gypsy is one of my favorite albums of all time (and I have at least 90 of the top 100 prog albums listed on this site) and, otherwise, is recognized as a great among jazz fusion. However, I picked this album to review out of all of his more recent work because I think it's one of his better albums that has simply gone unrecognized by the people of this forum. I suppose that Al doesn't qualify as prog by most but if you are a fan of fusion/world style superb guitar and composition, this album is something you should check out. 4.33/5.00
