ROMANTIC WARRIOR

This was my introduction to Jazz Rock/Fusion prog or whatever you may call it. And I have to say, I was not disappointed. The album cover is what allured me in the first place and I just decided to get me a copy. Awesome guitar work by the master Al di Meola and wonderful musicianship from Chick, Lenny, and Stanley, each proving to be powerful components of RTF. All the songs have groove and funk, which I especially found to be quite nice. A little hard to digest for those interested in Jazz Fusion but after a few listens, it'll get you. This album is surely an excellent addition to one's collection.
