ORANGE AND BLUE

Yet another album containing great guitar playing from Al Di Meola. Unfortunately, that fact isn't coupled with the most interesting song writing. Orange and Blue feels very much in the same vein as Di Meola Plays Piazzolla, but a portion of the material is a bit weaker. The album is fairly uneven - only about 1/3 of the songs here could be considered better than average (but not necessarily much better) - and the tracks blend together by the second half of the album. An alternate album would be preferable to this one, unless you are a fan or can find it for a bargain price.
