Just FYI:
We've pledged to Allan Holdsworth's campaign for his new release here:
http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/allanholdsworth
And received the first track which is quite yummy
It's a tune by Virgil Donati featuring him on drums and Jimmy Johnson (who takes a truly tasty solo) on bass. I like the tune a lot. It's quite dense and abstract but with a surprisingly funky and complex rhythmic underpinning. Virgil is monstrous on the track. So much of the drumming is built on the underlying rhythmic character, and he's all over that in a jazz friendly way. Almost comes off as too showy but restrained enough that it works.
I highly recommend checking out Mr. Holdsworth's page above, if you don't know about this already. This track bodes very well indeed for his new album which, personally, i can't wait to have in my hot little hands
Check it out. You'll be glad you did
