Al Di Meola's 'Casino' marked a stylistic shift towards jazz fusion, featuring a core band including Steve Gadd on drums and Anthony Jackson on bass. The album includes four original Di Meola compositions, alongside Chick Corea's "Señor Mouse" and the multi-part "Fantasia Suite for Two Guitars." While bearing the influence of Corea, with whom Di Meola played in Return to Forever, 'Casino' showcases Di Meola's evolving compositional voice and his band's fiery interplay.
