Three Tune Tuesday - Al Di Meola

in Music13 days ago

Here is a bit of retro 70s sounding jazz guitar by Al Di Meola for this #threetunetuesday by @ablaze


The first song is Senior Mouse. This song's riffs remind me quite a bit of prog metal songs. It also sounds like the soundtrack for a small mouse invading the cupboard at night.


Race with the Devil on a Spanish highway definitely sounds like the title. I could easily see this being the soundtrack to a 70s era movie with Chuck Norris chasing a bad guy then crashing a junk car into other junk cars for an explosion.


Here is Electric Rendezvouz where you think it will be a normal song structure at first but then ends up being a few different songs smashed together.

He's still alive and playing even though he had a heart attack on stage in Europe. His music seems to be quite popular still in Eastern Europe. I actually learned about this guy from a Moldovan who had some guitar picking books by him.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)

Oh wow I love the energy and the exotic sounds!

I love it when I can put a series of new songs onto my dance list!

Thank you so much for sharing!

The tricky thing about this music is the bass and guitar play the fast notes in exact timing to get that strange sound. I'll have to check if any of his songs ended up in movie soundtracks, it would go well in a late 70s era cop chase scene.

Haa ayes that's exatly what I thought!

My first thought was that it reminded me a little bit of cowboy bebop, but I can't remember which one and then the 2nd thought was the old TV show- Streets of San Fransisco! 😃

no CGI in that movie 😆 bring out the stunt professionals and the "expendable" old cars that look almost like the cars in the chase scene lol

The old movies are much more enjoyable as you know they had to go to a junkyard then load up the cars with explosives to get the action shot. I'm waiting for the modern chi movie composed entirely of explosions but as a romantic comedy in space.
