A year later, the virtuoso guitarist published his second full-length album entitled "Elegant Gypsy" where he continued to show his great power to the six strings surrounding himself for this recording of a cast of great musicians.
Among the invited musicians were Jan Hammer, Lenny White, Steve Gadd or Paco de Lucía, it is precisely the latter who puts his guitar to play the song "Mediterranean Sundance" with Meola, with a wonderful flamenco touch.
The influence of the Return to Forever is heard in the initial "Flight Over Rio", with a superb work by Jan Hammer on keyboards and Anthony Jackson on bass.
Also notable is the energetic "Race With Devil on Spanish Highway", without a doubt one of the great compositions in Al Di Meola's career.
Elegant Gypsy is one of the classic jazz rock albums, which would end up with Al Di Meola rising.
