As a followup to his remarkable The Things I See: Interpretations of the Music of Allan Holdsworth (Angel Air, 2001), veteran drummer/keyboardist Gary Husband tackles another guitar legend on A Meeting of Spirits. Both records are wonderful solo piano tributes to their sources' distinctive compositional skills and harmonic innovations. But Husband's latest effort takes the concept ...

Allan Holdsworth: Against the Clock: The Best of Allan Holdsworth

Read "Against the Clock: The Best of Allan Holdsworth" reviewed by John Kelman


It's rare enough to find artists who have developed a voice so unique that they can be recognized within the space of a few notes.

Riptyde: Sonic Undertow

Read "Sonic Undertow" reviewed by John Kelman


Sonic Undertow is the culmination of nearly ten years of occasional studio finagling by multi-instrumentalist Chris Hoard, also one half of the team that runs the fledgling Alternity Records, which made its mark last year with its first release, Then! , an archival live release from '90 by guitar phenom Allan Holdsworth. Upon reading the liner ...

Allan Holdsworth Group: Then!

Read "Then!" reviewed by John Kelman


Recorded twelve years before his latest release, the similarly-live All Night Wrong , and at the same location in Tokyo, guitarist Allan Holdsworth demonstrates that while he's come a long way in the ensuing years, there's absolutely no reason not to look back at archival material such as this and stand in awe of a stylist ...
