I found tonight’s video while doing some late night browsing.
It’s a concert recorded in 1992 in Sevilla, Spain by the guitar legends listed
below. It’s a mind-blowing collection of jazz fusion talent that goes for about
an hour and a half. As just a little teaser, I had the honor of playing bass
with one of the featured artists, however, I will not reveal which one. Check
out Dom di Piazza’s bass guitar work with John McLaughlin on Que Alegra. He’s
one of my all time favs. Enjoy!

And
for the wine to accompany, I suggest a 2012 Saint-Amant Cotes du Rhine La Borry
Blanc ($15.00). Saint-Amant is one of my favorite French vineyards and I make
it a habit to jump on a case of every one of their offerings regardless of
whether it’s a red, white, or rose, although I’ve never seen the latter. The
wine is a pale green-yellow with aromas of peaches, citrus, and honeysuckle.
The palate follows with yellow plums and peaches touched with lemons and limes.
Very nice minerality and acidity. Perfect for some great guitar and a warm
summer evening.
Cheers!
