Al Di Meola - Cielo E Terra - 1985 (24/96 Vinyl Rip)

Cielo e Terra is the title of the 1985 solo album by Italian-American jazz fusion and Latin jazz guitarist Al Di Meola. Airto Moreira plays all percussion on "Traces (of a Tear)", "Cielo e Terra", "When You're Gone" and "Solace".
Wonderful and relaxing album of Al Di Meola; only the sublime "title track" (see Youtube) is reason enough to dowload this gem. Enjoy!

Note > No silence was deleted; please burn this album gapless..

Review:

Pure Art,

This is an absolutely enchanting work of art and acoustic guitar mastery. It's not quite jazz, not quite classical, and draws influence from South America. It is probably his most under-appreciated work, yet it is in my opinion his best work to date. He shies away from his loud fusion sound which made him successful in the 70s, and instead shows a different side of himself with this album. The music is emotional and esoteric at the same time. It truly showcases his compositional skills.
Al DiMeola himself says this is the album he is most proud of. True guitar fanatics will love this album.
