Amazing
It is a must for any player or fan of guitar music. This is by far on of the finest guitar albums of all times. These are three of the best players all together.


Perhaps too good for it's own good
Linking up three of the worlds greatest would have virtually guaranteed critical success, but the varying compositions and techniques employed at such a constant pace ensures listeners you are indeed listening to the world's best-combined. You would be hard pressed to find a more technically spectacular acoustic guitar project. All one can say in offense is that the skill level is just too high, compounding musical ideas into an almost overwhelming proficiency at turns. .


Best of three fine Guitar Trio offerings
In my humble opinion this is the best of the set. They are all wonderful acoustic recordings. The Paco, Al, and John synergy is hard to surpass.


Frenetic Jazz Guitar Workouts!
John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, and Paco de Lucia combine their talents to create a compelling, fast paced acoustic bossa nova tinged jazz record. This cd is a wonderful release by three of the top Jazz guitarists in the world. Each song features elegant riffing and frenetic runs up and down the fretboard. This music is lightning captured on disc, and it makes for a sizzling instrumental masterpiece. 5 stars easy!.


Stunning?
For those who enjoy the Azzura and Beyond the Mirage renditions found on this album, I can assure you that there exists a better version of each on Al Di Meola's "The Infinite Desire" album . I'm sorry to all the people who've praised this album so far, this was the only album (of the ones that I've owned) by ANY of the three great guitarists that I gave away for free. . . don't believe me, just go out and listen to this cd. As for Paco De Lucia, with the realease of "Cositas Buenas" he returns to playing the style that he was born for, and to me that is much more rewarding than hearing him on this cd trying to showcase his ability to go hand in hand with the other two guitarists . . . quite frankly he's in a league of his own when it comes to the
guitar! As for John McLaughlin he's more mainstream than the other three . . . yeah he has more of those over sappy lovey dovy tunes that corrupted North American music throughout his albums. To me he belongs with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, George Lynch . . . the G3 style of guitarists. As good as he is technically, I don't think he's on par with the other two guitarists on this album. Sorry for the directness, it's how I felt about this album! That's why it was an easy give-away.
