Listener Reviews & Comments
Mr. Holdsworth is a global musical treaure. His complete mastery of his instrument, unequivically unique soloing voice (both in tone and phrasing) and his stunningly beautiful compositions have given me some of my most pleasurable listening experiences of the the last 30 years. I am unapologetically a Jazz fan - but I grew into jazz from rock and blues by way of jazz-rock/fusion. What a thrill to hear Mr. Holdsworth's interpretation of these wonderful standards! It may be to "soft" for some of his progressive fusion fans but for me, it's the recording I've been longing to hear (perhaps I'm not alone and thus the title of the recording?) I believe it was Jimmy Herring, a wonderful guitarist in his own right (Aquarian Rescue Unit; Jazz is Dead) that recently stated in a Guitar Player Magazine article that "it will be another 50 years before we truely understand and appreciate (Holdsworth's) harmonic approach and sensibilities" - or something to that affect. I concur. Gary Willis and Kirk Covington (from Tribal Tech fame with Scott Henderson and Scott Kinsey) are as tight and innovative a rhythm unit as there is and of course the great Gordon Beck has been a jazz presence since the late 1960's. Although there isn't a bad (or mediocre) track on this recording, Joe Henderson's "Inner Urge", Coltrane's "Countdown" and the modern Beatles standard "Norwegian Wood" blow me away. This is, without a doubt, very essential listening. Other Allan Holdsworth recodings I highly recommend are: "Road Games", "I.O.U.", first self-titled release of the band UK, Jean Luc Ponty's "Enigmatic Ocean", Tony Williams' Lifetime "Believe It", and AH's "Sixteen Men of Tain". Also, on Mike Mainieri's (leader and vibist with Steps Ahead) first Beatles tribute release "Come Together Vol. 1" has Allan (with the same band as "None Too Soon") playing a drop-dead gorgious rendition of "Michelle" - I HAVE to listen to it at least 3 times in a row, the solo is so killer! Thanks you Mr. Holdsworth for all that you given us (please don't stop). stew
