Return to Forever, landmark solo albums and a guitar partnership with Paco de Lucía and John McLaughlin frame the booking. The listing names Al Di Meola as headliner, but does not promise a setlist or specify a performance start time.

Al Di Meola’s recorded history offers more context for his Blue Note date than the event listing does: it names him as headliner, but gives no setlist or accompanying musicians. His years with Return to Forever and later guitar collaborations help place the booking in a jazz-fusion career without predicting what he will play.
Di Meola joined Return to Forever in 1974 and remained with the band through 1976. His first solo album, Land of the Midnight Sun, followed in 1976; Elegant Gypsy came out in 1977 and was later certified Gold. Those milestones sketch a shift from a band chapter into a prominent solo recording career.
Collaboration is another strand of that history. Di Meola recorded The Guitar Trio with Paco de Lucía and John McLaughlin, an album that Songkick’s biography says reached No. 1 on the jazz charts. The same biography lists Electric Rendezvous among his solo chart successes. This is useful background for understanding the range of his career, not evidence that either record—or any particular lineup—will feature at Blue Note.

Songkick categorizes the July 2 concert under Jazz, Latin and Electronic. These are broad listing labels, not a published description of the night’s repertoire. The event page identifies Di Meola as the headliner and names no supporting performer.
The artist calendar places the date within a Blue Note run listed from June 29 through July 4, 2027. It shows two entries for July 2, but does not explain whether those indicate separate performances or a duplicate listing. The event page says doors open at 8 p.m.; it does not give a performance start or end time. Don’t use the extra calendar entry to infer either.
