About
This welcome supplement to the iconic 1981 album <i>Friday Night in San Francisco</i> finds guitar giants Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucía in extraordinary form not only as an acoustic trio, but also as unaccompanied soloist. McLaughlin ventures a remarkably free-form rendition of “One Word,” from the 1973 Mahavishnu Orchestra classic <i>Birds of Fire</i>—a fitting complement to the showstopping trio reinvention of “Meeting of the Spirits” from <i>The Inner Mounting Flame</i>. Di Meola, who curated and produced the release, follows the trio’s rendition of his “Splendido Sundance” with the stunningly virtuosic “Trilogy Suite,” while de Lucía offers not one but two jaw-dropping showcases (“Monasterio de Sal,” “Soniquete”), plus a trio arrangement of his “El Pañuelo.” .
