Jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola has bemoaned what he sees as the current state of the music industry. In an interview with Jordi Pinyol (below) he has declared it as “close to dead”.
Whilst talking about the difficulties young musicians face today, Di Meola lamented that: "There are no record companies that will support them and help build a career like we had, because the record industry is, pretty much, I would say, dead, (or) close to dead.
