Excellent jazz fusion album.
Solid guitar playing and I I'm really diggin' track number 1. This may well be Al Di Meola's finest recording out of all of his albums. This is one of the best jazz albums of the 70's. Any good jazz lover should have it in their collection.


Electrifying
it showcases Dimeola's brilliant guitar techniques, his speed and versatility. This is probably one of the best albums of all time. The musicians who accompany him are monsters and can keep up with Dimeola's complex music (they're the best around). Unbelievable chemistry among those guys. The transition from track to track is so smooth, not to mention the clear recording. The opening track "flight over Rio", and "race with the devil" are mind blowing. I have been listening to this for 30 years and still enjoy it. This is a must for guitar freaks and fusion lovers. .


brilliant latin-flavored fusion jazz & accoustic flaminco
Mediterranian Sundance (w/ Paco DeLucia) is the most amazing accoustic guitar duet I've ever heard. Brilliant! This was my 1st Al DiMeola disc & I've enjoyed it for over 20 years. Flight over Rio features Al's electric guitar duelling w/ Jan Hammer's keyboard . . . and Race w/ the Devil on a Spanish Highway is as frantic as it sounds! Possibly my all time favorite jazz-fusion disc, I reccomend it highly.
