The Guitar Trio (30th Anniversary) (180g) (Limited Deluxe Edition) [LP]

Paco de Lucía, Al Di Meola, and John McLaughlin formed the famous “Guitar Trio,” which is also the title of their 1996 best-selling album, the follow-up to the equally legendary classic “Friday Night in San Francisco.” Here, breathtaking dexterity meets a profound musical soul, blending flamenco, tango, jazz, and fusion.

A classic album returns: To mark its 30th anniversary, “The Guitar Trio” by Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucía, and John McLaughlin is being released as a limited-edition deluxe LP on 180-gram vinyl by Optimal, in a high-quality tip-on gatefold sleeve and with new liner notes in French and English.

The album documents the extraordinary reunion of the three musicians, sixteen years after the legendary concerts that gave rise to “Friday Night in San Francisco.” With compositions such as “Letter from India,” “Beyond the Mirage,” and “La Estiba,” as well as Luiz Bonfá’s “Manhã de Carnaval,” the three masters blend jazz, flamenco, and acoustic guitar virtuosity into a captivating musical conversation.
