| Notes | English guitarist Allan Holdsworth is widely considered to be one of the finest instrumentalists in all of jazz fusion. First a saxophone player, Holdsworth didn't pick up the guitar until he was 17 years old, but learned the instrument quickly. In 1972 Holdsworth joined progressive rockers Tempest. U.S. drummer Tony Williams discovered Holdsworth around this time, which led to an invite for him to replace John McLaughlin in Williams' Lifetime project in 1975. He then joined up with French-English prog-rockers Gong, in addition to guesting on recordings by Jean-Luc Ponty, Bill Bruford, Gordon Beck, Jack Bruce, UK, and Soft Machine. In the late '70s, Holdsworth launched a solo career, which over the years has seen the release of 17 albums. In the mid-'80s, Holdsworth was one of the first musicians to use a Synthaxe, a guitar that contained a breath controller that proved to be a cross between a synthesizer, guitar, and saxophone. This show features Alan Holdsworth (Guitar), Joel Taylor (Drums) and Dave Carpenter (Bass). Audience taping. Thanks so much for your generosity Ed |
