- 2/26: NEW GARY HUSBAND ALBUM - "THE THINGS I SEE -
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MUSIC OF ALLAN HOLDSWORTH"
Available exclusively at the artofliferecords.com website!
Here's what (guitarist and composer supremo) John McLaughlin has recently
said ...
It has been a considerable time since I heard a truly new kind of recording.
This is one of those, and in addition it is from a musician whom I have known
and admired for many years, not for his wizardry at the piano, but for his
artistry at the drums!
As a musician for the great majority of my life, I can inform you that
this is no small accomplishment.
In this recording we hear him playing the music of another
innovator, guitarist Allan Holdsworth, whom he has accompanied at the
drums for many years and is intimately acquainted with his music. I
recall a concert of Allan in London some years ago, and after the
performance I went to see him backstage only to tell him that if I knew
what he was doing, I'd steal it! The guitaristic prowess of Allan is
well known amongst the musical, and particularly, the guitar community
of the world. Along with his mastery, his musical conceptions and
compositions are equally well known and admired.
It is perhaps the marvellous combination of Gary's immense
musical talent as a pianist, and his knowledge of Allan's strange and
beautiful music from the point of view as a drummer who knows so well
the rhythmic intricacies of his compositions that make this recording so
appealing to me. Thanks Gary!
John McLaughlin. February, 2001"
