Review
The acoustic guitar trio of John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, and Paco DeLucia can always be relied upon to create quiet but fiery music. The three virtuosos always sound restrained and tasteful (yet inwardly explosive) when they play together. This 1996 effort has three originals apiece from McLaughlin and DiMeola, two by DeLucia and a beautiful McLaughlin-DiMeola duet on "Manha de Carnaval" that makes one wish they would more fully explore bossa nova. Most of the selections are thoughtful, but there are also plenty of explosive outbursts for contrast (along with the jubilant closer "Cardeosa") on the highly arranged yet spontaneous-sounding program.

Down Beat (3/97, p.46) - 3 Stars - (out of 5) - "...they find synergies that carry them to previously uncharted regions of speed-freak guitar nirvana. Their collective attainment is astonishing....a killer hi-fi demonstration album..." Musician (3/97, p.94) - "...brims with tight, fiery arrangements, daredevil solos, and inventive compositions, especially from McLaughlin's pen....it's nice to hear fretboard firepower in the service of more ambitious musicality."
