Al Di Meola and Quintet

Al Di Meola, guitar


Di Meola, a master of jazz, rock and fusion, has captivated audiences for more than three exciting decades of artistic growth and evolution, demonstrating a great command of both acoustic and electric guitar technique. He will be joined by Gumbi Ortiz on percussion, Mario Parmisano on piano/keyboard, Ernie Adams on drums, Victor Miranda on bass and Ben Waller, tour manager/stage technician.




April 27th 2005 was a great day for me and my wife Vicki. As host of the first or one of the first Al Di Meola sites on the net I have not, up until now, had the pleasure to meet Al in person. Al was gracious that night to hang out after the concert to visit with fans and sign autographs. Gumbi Ortiz was also on hand and I was able to chat with him about a few things. These are some nice people. Years ago he use to send me photos to post on my site from the tours they were on at the time. Thanks Gumbi.

Please enjoy a few photos and scans below. Click on the some of the photos for larger versions.
Gumbi took a photo of Al and I.
