CD Reviews

Oh, Al!
pianomia | ROSAMOND, CA USA | 09/07/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Oh, Al! This is such a wonderful CD. When I come in at night worn out from work, I get a cup of coffee, stretch out in my favorite easy chair, kick off my shoes and listen to Al Caiola. I own a few of his records. It's nice to have his music on CD, and now that I have one-it's like good chocolate! I can't buy just one, I will buy others!In the early 1970's I worked with a 'Salsa' band. I was hired because I played piano, organ, and accordian.Sabor a Mi was popular on the latin radio stations, and I learned it from an early recording. Later, I learned other music, all latin or soft jazz from listening to keyboard players, but I also listened to Al Caiola. He has thrilled audiences with his guitar. He's a true stylist. You can listen to him, and you will know who's playing. He is very distinctive, and has both the technical skills and the natural talent to make his recordings interesting and beautiful. If you've never heard Mr. Caiola play, then do yourself a favor and buy this CD. It is lovely, it's romantic! Oh, Al!"
Sensual "take me away" music!

"This is the best CD of Latin love songs ever produced. The string

orchestrations flow like silk while the Latin rhythms sway you like a

warm tropical breeze. It reminds me of dancing under a starry, velvety

night sky on the terrace of a little cantina in Manzanillo, Mexico one

summer night. Unforgettable!"
I'm Not Italian But I Love It!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Yes, I'm not Italian but I love it! The songs on this CD are just wonderful.

Starting with track 1, "Be True to Me (Sabor a Mi)" passing true track 5, "Magic Is the Moonlight (Te Quiero Dijiste)", 12 "Morning of the Carnival (Manhã de Carnaval)", 16 "One (Uno)"; all just a PLEASURE to listen to. Al Caiola's guitar playing is phenomenal. I absolutely recommend it. This one really deserves a five stars ratings.

I also recommend his album "Italian Gold - Treasured Collection", another SUPERB Five stars."
