AL DI MEOLA | 5th Annual Faena Jazz Series at Faena Theater

Di Meola needs no introduction – he is simply considered to be one of the world’s greatest musicians and a virtuoso of the highest order.

A prolific composer and prodigious six-string talent, Di Meola has amassed over 20 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return To Forever (with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White), a celebrated acoustic guitar trio featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, and the Rite of Strings trio with bassist Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty.
