Back in the day I liked this video, I saw it as a stream of consciousness sort of thing, who knows what imagery was playing inside that guy's head as he was composing this piece, I think that was what the video was showing, but I may have been reading too much into it at the time.

What happened to Al? A fellow gtrist of mine loved him and his playing. I enjoyed his work and the 80's, but alas, we, too, must grow up and move on...

AL di...said."My style is no style...it is the art of fighting...without fighting..I use the guitar....."....in 1980 I think...lol....Great video for the time...great for an instrumental artist to get recognition...and a ton of Cash!

this is one of those rare cases where the music and visuals go together perfectly

Hmm, you could be right. I do know that Hammer used a Memory Moog and the white elephant Four Voice Oberheim, but I could have sworn the liner notes on the album specifically credited Hammer with just Fairlight and drum machine on this track. I could be wrong, though.

Was looking for this song. I remember my dad recorded this video. I remembered 'Sequencer' but didn't know the artist. Thanks to wikipedia and youtube.

About the video: yeah, it's kinda embarassing. I think it's pretty obvious this was more Columbia's idea than his. The funny thing was, at the time, there weren't too many outlets to play jazz videos. I remember seeing this video on HBO's old Video Jukebox show at the time, and it got some airplay on Night Flight (when they'd do a "Take Off To Jazz" or whatever) and later on it VH-1 played it on their New Visions show. MTV certainly was playing DiMeola or Metheny.
