Our Take

AL DI MEOLA's Twentyfour is a wild ride through the elusive world of jazz fusion. With his virtuosic guitar skills and penchant for experimentation, Di Meola delivers a sonic experience that is as chaotic as it is captivating.

From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Firefly" to the hypnotic grooves of "Azzurra," Di Meola demonstrates his mastery of the genre with every note. His ability to seamlessly blend elements of jazz, rock, and world music is nothing short of astounding, and it's a testament to his creativity and vision as an artist.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Escapade," a blistering showcase of Di Meola's technical prowess. The lightning-fast guitar solos and intricate rhythms make for an exhilarating listen that will leave you breathless.

However, Twentyfour is not without its flaws. Some tracks feel a bit meandering and unfocused, lacking the cohesiveness and direction that make the album truly memorable. Additionally, the production could be crisper, with some moments feeling muddled and muddy.

Overall, AL DI MEOLA's Twentyfour is a bold and ambitious statement from a true master of his craft. While it may not be perfect, it is a testament to Di Meola's boundless creativity and relentless dedication to pushing the boundaries of jazz fusion. This is an album that demands to be listened to with an open mind and a willingness to explore the uncharted territories of musical expression.
