Elegant Gypsy is the second album by American jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola.
Elegant Gypsy was a follow-up album to Di Meola's debut release, Land of the Midnight Sun.
The distinctive music on the album is a speedy fusion of jazz and rock, with lightning-fast guitar riffs intermixed with lyrical acoustical passages.
[3] The inspiration behind one of di Meola's signature songs, “Race with Devil on Spanish Highway”, came from The Kinks’ garage rock classic "You Really Got Me".
[citation needed] Janice Dickinson is the model on the album cover.
