AL DI MEOLA ACOUSTIC TRIO
A Guitar Legend

Al Di Meola stands as one of the most celebrated guitarists of our time. Known for his dazzling technique, rhythmic complexity, and lyrical expressiveness, his career spans over four decades, with more than 30 solo albums and countless collaborations. From his early days with Chick Corea’s fusion supergroup Return to Forever, to his iconic acoustic trio with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía, Di Meola has consistently pushed musical boundaries.

A pioneer in blending jazz with world music, Di Meola has drawn on flamenco, tango, Middle Eastern, Brazilian, and African influences—most notably with his World Sinfonia project. His acclaimed albums such as Elegant Gypsy, Casino, and The Grande Passion reflect his global musical vision.

Beyond his virtuosity on both acoustic and electric guitar, Di Meola is a gifted composer whose work resonates far beyond guitar enthusiasts. With Grammy awards, gold and platinum records, and honors including a Doctorate from Berklee College of Music, he remains an influential and tireless force in contemporary music.
