Al Di Meola interview: an elegant gypsy at the Montreal Jazz Festival

For the second time I had the great opportunity to interview the legendary Al Di Meola. The first time was in France during the Issoudun Guitar Festival, this time it was for the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Subjects discussed in the interview

• The Miles Davis award he just received from the Montreal Jazz Festival
• The Elegant Gypsy tour
• How he adapts to playing acoustic and electric guitar
• Why he went back to the Les Paul for this tour
• Elysium, his upcoming new album
• His word of wisdom to share with musicians

Enjoy,

Pierre.
