Sunday morning music

 

What sort of album do you think would attract this praise?


"a musical event that could be compared to the Benny Goodman Band's performance at Carnegie Hall in 1938 … [it] may be considered the most influential of all live acoustic guitar albums."


That would be "Friday Night in San Francisco", featuring American Al Di Meola, Briton John McLaughlin and Spaniard Paco de Lucía.  Here's the whole thing.




I'll leave you to judge for yourself whether the critic's view above is appropriate.  I'm not complaining...

  3. I first came across this as a fan of Paco de Lucia. A superb album, wish I could have been there for the concert.

  4. I also have that on cd, somewhere. I'm a bigger fan of di Meola's "Cielo e Terra" album.
