After 30 years of a splendid career and exploring a variety of styles, Al Di
Meola still ranks among the most popular guitar masters of jazz and jazz-rock.
Here, on his first "electric" DVD, Di Meola shows up with "Speak
a Volcano" in Leverkusen in November 2006. Surrounded by a band including his old companion
and superb percussionist Gumbo Ortiz, he rediscovers his love of the electric
guitar without denying newer influences. The result is a balancing act between
volcanic electronic ecstasy and emotionally moving sound excursions, between
fervent improvisations and intimate conversations, including many compositions
of Al Di Meola himself, and five Astor Piazzolla tunes.
