Theme Week: Acoustic - John McLaughlin +
|
|
[From The Album - "Friday Night In San Francisco"]
Spanish virtuoso Paco De Lucia, American born and bred Al Di Meola and Englishman John McLaughlin (from Miles Davis fame) sit down for a crazy Friday night in, you guessed it, San Francisco, where they wow fans with some very dextrous playing. Listen carefully for 16th & 32nd notes - seriously, they're that fast. Imagine if you will you're visiting a planet where the native intelligent life descended from avians, instead of shit throwing primates. Now imagine they pick up guitars, start playing and are, well, quite good actually. Maybe that's a stretch, but it's what I picture when I listen to "Mediterranean Sundance": flightless human sized birds (like David Brin's lavender scented avian "Gubru") pecking away at skittish flamenco and literally flying (get it, flying) on their guitars. I don't listen to this too often as I get a bit overwhelmed. It reminds me of how badly I suck on the guitar. But this is absolutely fantastic nonetheless. Pick it up if you like it as this is from an official release.
