Album


Kiss My Axe is an album by jazz guitarist Al Di Meola that was released in 1991. All songs by Al Di Meola unless otherwise noted. South Bound Traveler Barry Miles 5:22. The Embrace 5:49. Kiss My Axe 5:04. Morocco 7:41. Gigi's Playtime Rhyme Interlude 1 2:36. One Night Last June 8:19. Phantom Chick Corea, arranged by Al Di Meola 7:53. Erotic Interlude Interlude 2 2:32. Global Safari 5:42. Interlude 3 1:59. Purple Orchids 6:45. Di Meola's new approach was perfectly summarized when, in 1991, he told Jazz Times he wanted to be enchanted by the music instead of dazzling listeners with his considerable chops. Songs in album Al Di Meola - Kiss My Axe 1988. Al Di Meola - South Bound Traveler. Al Di Meola - The Embrace. Al Di Meola - Kiss My Axe. Al Di Meola - Morocco. Al Di Meola - Gig's Playtime Rhyme Inter1. Al Di Meola - One Night Last June. Al Di Meola - Phantom. Al Di Meola - Erotic Interlude Interlude2. Al Di Meola - Global Safari. Al Di Meola - Interlude 3. The album's final track is entitled 'Oriana September 24, 1988'. I don't know who the lucky lady is, or what sort of occasion Di Meola is referring to, but here too, the music sounds exquisitely tender. As you may gather from this album's title and cover pictures, early 1990s DiMeola still enjoyed striking sexist poses - just like his younger incarnation. KISS MY AXE's probably features his silliest sleeve art ever. Kiss My Axe is a fusion music album recording by AL DI MEOLA released in 1991 on CD, LPVinyl andor cassette. South Bound Traveler 5:22 2.

This one has everything Al has become famous for in the fusion realm. Eventhow Kiss My Axe is relatively short, it packs quite a bunch. View wiki. Di Meola is shinning on this one . From the velocity and heat of his early solo efforts to the challenge and triumph of the Di Meola, McLaughlin, De Lucia Guitar Trio, from the Brazilian explorations of Cielo e Terra and Soaring Through A Dream to the global romanticism and Tango inflection of Al's acoustic group World Synfonia self titled debut and the 2nd World Sinfonia.
