  • January was the start to a busy year of touring and gigs for the Allan Holdsworth Band. For the initial West Coast gigs, they played as a 4 piece band, with the addition of Dennis Hamm on keyboards. This is a short clip of some exclusive behind the scenes rehearsal footage, shot at S.I.R. in Hollywood. Virgil Donati is on drums, and Jimmy Haslip on bass

    Allan is the man, he has everything: great note choice, awesome tone, sweet technique, bitchin' phrasing. When i need inspiration i always come back to his work, he's just so great.

    Genius works best when it isn't self conscious imo. I believe every time someone starts to think about how great they are, whatever they are doing suffers. Allan just does what he does; I think he views himself as a regular guy, which makes him much nicer to talk to than someone who believes they are awesome. I have been lucky enough to speak to him a couple times; no weird ego trip going on; he's just a very nice guy.

What a reflective time this must be and god speed moving forward with Allan as such an historic contributor, influence, mentor and colleague to yourself and us all. :-(

    A brain superior to what? Allan speaks about how he decided to approach the problem of music, and it is quite methodical. He literally taught himself to fluidly execute almost every combination of pitches in any grouping of notes. His genius was to imagine such a thing would be useful, but his ability to show such genius comes from actually following through with the idea. This is why I chalk it up to curiosity and discipline. Either way, brilliant! Thanks for your comment.

      "His genius was to imagine such a thing would be useful, but his ability to show such genius comes from actually following through with the idea. This is why I chalk it up to curiosity and discipline." - I work in a world of fast-paced engineering and this statement holds true in that environment everyday. I like the wording. succinct and meaningful.

      It is sad to see this new generation of "shredders" who no tone and no touch, just over-compressed flailing, so clueless. It is really sad. Guitar culture is lost now, "modeling pedals" easy way, no work ethic and yes it sounds terrible, not musical. Guitar happened. It is gone now. Thank you Alan and the handful of real players, musicians.

    - Fred (Tony Williams Lifetime)
    - Letters of Marque
    - Texas
    - Water on the Brain
    - ????
    - Looking Glass
    - Pud Wud
    - Desert Girl (Planet X)
    - The Thinking Stone (Planet X)
    - ????
    - Mr. Spock (Tony Williams Lifetime)
    - Devil Take the Hindmost
    - Red Alert (Tony Williams Lifetime)
    - Proto-Cosmos (Tony Williams Lifetime)
    - ????
    I can't tell what the '????' songs are since the quality of that frame isn't that good...
