Here you will find the exquisitely virtuosic space infused into masterpieces such as \"Yesterday,\" \"Hey Jude,\" \"Strawberry Fields Forever,\" and \"Here Comes the Sun.\" Al Di Meola, considered one of the greatest guitarists of our time, presents his first work of the new decade in 2020: a tribute album to The Beatles. Al, who boasts extraordinary technique and has gained immense support for his diverse styles that transcend genres from jazz\/fusion to classical, has his roots in the pop sound of The Beatles. In 2013, he released \"All Your Life: A Tribute to The Beatles,\" recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. And now, he releases his second cover album, \"Across the Universe.\" Described by Al himself as \"a celebration of a sonic world full of beauty and joy,\" this album breathes new life into many of The Beatles' classics, including \"Yesterday,\" \"Hey Jude,\" \"Strawberry Fields Forever,\" \"Norwegian Wood,\" and \"Dear Prudence.\" With respect and affection for the originals, he applies unique arrangements, playing various electric and acoustic guitars, as well as a 12-string harp guitar, bass, and drums himself, weaving together Al's personal worldview with a diverse range of guitar sounds. The lyrical development of the \"Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight - You Never Give Me Your Money\" medley also reveals Al's devotion to The Beatles. Meanwhile, Randy Brecker makes a guest appearance on trumpet on \"I'll Follow the Sun,\" showcasing an exquisite interplay with the guitar. Furthermore, in \"Octopus' Garden,\" he adds the voice of his beloved daughter Eva when she was three years old, bringing a warm and heartfelt touch to the song. The album cover, which can be seen as an homage to John Lennon's solo album \"Rock 'n' Roll\" (1975), is sure to delight fans. He will also be performing in Japan in early February 2020. Will he perform some Beatles numbers from this album on his soulful stage? Having remained at the top for nearly half a century, Al will not rest on his laurels as a legend, but will continue to move forward in the 2020s.
