Description

[Machine Translation] This is the first new album in four years from Al Di Meola, a maestro who has influenced both jazz and rock music, and is well known for his work with units such as the Super Guitar Trio. This new album is a fascinating blend of Al Di Meola's masterful guitar playing and deep artistic sensibility, skillfully incorporating elements of jazz, fusion, and Latin music. Conceived during the turbulent times of the pandemic, it began as a simple, introspective acoustic project, but the idea grew exponentially as Al Di Meola's own boundless musical exploration and creativity became irresistible. Four years in the making, this work has blossomed into a masterpiece of intricately woven melodies, diverse instrumentation, and captivating highlights. Of course, Al's mastery of the guitar is on full display. It is as if this album is a journey that traces the evolution of Al's music. The gems of music on this album also have a memorial aspect, as they record the turbulent four years of this pandemic through the filter of Al's sensibility. Fandango" is the first single from the album, and is a high-dimensional fusion of traditional flamenco elements and modern jazz sensibilities, featuring complex melodies and dynamic rhythms. His free sensibility allows his music to evolve in such a way as to open new doors, without being confined to a specific pattern. The melodies played on the gut guitar and the soli are beautiful. Ava's Dance In The Moonlight" is an emotional song inspired by a heartwarming moment with his daughter Ava. The tender moment is sublimated into a beautiful melody that deeply touches the listener's heart. With these and many other creative works, "Twentyfour" is an album that will be greatly enjoyed not only by fans of Al Di Meola, but also by those who are experiencing his music for the first time. Experience the magic of music, and enjoy the resonant sound of the guitar - a wonderful musical journey with Al Di Meola's sound awaits you on this album. Includes a Japanese-language commentary.

Description in Japanese

トゥエンティーフォー / アル・ディ・メオラ

かつてスーパー・ギター・トリオ等のユニットで活動した経歴も有名な、ジャズとロック両面に影響を与えたマエストロ、アル・ディ・メオラによる4年振りのニューアルバム。本作は、アル・ディ・メオラならではのジャズ、フュージョン、そしてラテン音楽の要素を巧みに取り入れた彼の卓越したギタープレイと深い芸術的感性が見事に融合し、リスナーを魅了する作品に仕上がっている。パンデミック (世界的大流行)の激動の時代に構想され、内省的でシンプルなアコースティック・プロジェクトとして始まったこの作品だが、アル・ディ・メオラ自身がもつ無限の音楽的探求心や創造力に抗えないという気持ちと共に、構想は飛躍的に拡大していったという。そして4年の歳月をかけ完成した本作は、複雑に織り成されたメロディー、多様な楽器編成、魅惑的なハイライトに溢れた傑作へと開花した。もちろん、彼の卓越したギターの妙技が惜しむことなく披露されている。本作がアルの音楽の進化をたどる旅であるかのように。珠玉の楽曲群は、このパンデミックであった激動の4年間をアルの感性というフィルターを通して記録したメモリアル的な側面も持っている。このアルバムからの先行シングル「Fandango」では、フラメンコの伝統的な要素とモダンなジャズの感性を高次元で融合し、複雑なメロディーとダイナミックなリズムが特徴なナンバーとなっている。彼の自由な感性が型にとどまることなく新しい扉を開けるように音楽を進化させている。ガットギターの奏でるメロディの響きやソリのキメも美しい。「Ava's Dance In The Moonlight」は、タイトルからも分かるように彼の娘エヴァとの心温まる瞬間からインスピレーションを得て作られたエモーショナルな楽曲。優しい瞬間が美しい旋律へと昇華され聴く者の心に深く響く一曲となっている。これらの楽曲を始め創造力に溢れる「Twentyfour」は、アル・ディ・メオラのファンはもちろん、初めて彼の音楽に触れる人々にも大いに楽しめる一枚。音楽が魔法であることを体感し、心に響くギターの音色を堪能する―アル・ディ・メオラの音と行く素晴らしい音楽の旅がこの作品には待っている。日本語解説書封入。
