Album · 1976 · 6 Songs. Elegant Gypsy Al Di Meola.

Elegant Gypsy is the second album by American jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola. It was released in 1977 by Columbia Records. Elegant Gypsy was a follow-up album to Di Meola's debut release, Land of the Midnight Sun. The distinctive music on the album is a speedy fusion of jazz and rock, with lightning-fast guitar riffs intermixed with lyrical acoustical passages. The songs include explorations of Latin music themes, including acoustic genres like flamenco.

Guitarist Al di Meola's second record as a leader is generally an explosive affair, although it does have a fair amount of variety. He was still a member of Return to Forever at the time and was a stronger guitarist than composer, but di Meola did put a lot of thought into this music.

All the elements of total success are here, stellar musicianship, creative songwriting, and fun and imaginative variances in the music.

The album that started this reverence, you ask" Well, that would be guitar extraordinaire Al DiMeola's 1977 masterpiece, Elegant Gypsy. What truly shines on this record is the varied, textured soundscapes presented with each track. There is an eclectic cohesion of styles at hand. Another aspect of the album that I find pleasing is that no instrument overshadows another. Even with the production of the album, no singular player seems to be mixed louder or more prevalent than any other. An excellent example would be the final track, 'Elegant Gypsy Suite,' an uninhibited jam, a melting pot of numerous playing styles and genres stewed into quite the musical experience. The sound that is produced during this track is unique, with DiMeola throwing in some fabulous lead lines, alternating in speed to fit the ever-changing tempo and feel of the song.

With Elegant Gypsy & More LIVE, recorded last year during his acclaimed US tour of the same name, he is revisiting some of his brilliant, earlier works such as Race With Devil On Spanish Highway, Flight Over Rio, Midnight Tango or Egyptian Danza. Al Di Meola established himself in the early 70s by playing with artists such as Chick Corea. With the just recently released studio album OPUS, Al Di Meola not only topped the TOP 5 of the Official German Jazz Album Charts and burst to position of the US Contemporary Jazz Album Charts, but once again underlines his flexibility and quality as a Guitar superstar.
