The sweet sounds of Latin-flavored instrumental World Music are on full display on Alta Vista, the 2020 CD by California Bay Area-based guitarist/composer David Correa. The album is very diverse and not just focused on daredevil Latin music styles, but the ten-track CD also features David’s expertise on guitar-based fusion, Gypsy Jazz, some rumba, and bossa along with a range of acoustic fusion guitar sounds. Fellow guitarist Tommy Hill, along with Rami Zaideh (drums and percussion) and David Pinto (electric/fretless bass) also partake in the festivities. Fans of California guitar legends such as the band Incendio will find much to like about Alta Vista. Although he grew up listening to hard rock guitar legends like Yngwie Malmsteen and Jason Becker as well as jazz guitar heroes like Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin, for the past 25 years, David Correa has played Spanish / Latin guitar instrumental exclusively and clearly, his hard work and dedication reaches a new pinnacle of success on the 2020 release of Alta Vista.
