About this album
Land Of The Midnight Sun is a striking debut that announced Al Di Meola as one of fusion’s most exciting new guitar voices. Released in 1976, it pairs virtuosic speed and precision with the rhythmic drive and harmonic complexity that defined jazz-rock in the mid-70s. With contributions from top-tier players and a repertoire that moves from the explosive force of The Wizard to the elegance of classical-derived material, the album shows Di Meola balancing technical brilliance with real melodic focus. Its blend of jazz improvisation, rock energy and international influences helped establish the style that would carry him to wider acclaim.
