John McLaughlin with Al DiMeola and Paco DeLucia - Passion, Grace and Fire

Two years after they recorded Friday Night In San Francisco, John Mclaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucía reunited for another set of acoustic guitar trios, Passion, Grace And Fire, If this can be considered a guitar "battle" (some of the playing is ferocious and these speed demons do not let up too often), then the result is a three-way tie. This guitar summit lives up to its title. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
