Many of you may already know of him but he is new to me.

I have The Infinite Desire and Elegant Gypsy CDs.

I was telling a friend about Johnny A that I learned about at Gadabouts audio meet and loved it. My friend said I should check out Al.

Very nice music.

    I have almost everything he's released on vinyl. Fantastic guitar player. Check out Friday Night In San Francisco with Al, John McLaughlin and Paco De Lucia for a live jazz guitar session like none you've ever heard before. I just love Al.

    I found Al back in 1999 when he released Winter Nights. I was looking for some new music and came across this CD. I listened to it in the store and purchased it on the spot. I went on to buying everything I could find of his.
    I'm a guitar player and really like his style. He is an amazing artist. All of his CD's are fantastic.
