Allan Holdsworth deep dive

[Cunamara]

Danny Thompson on bass certainly had a broad range of music he played. Holdsworth, Alexis Korner, Johnny Mac, Richard Thompson, John Martyn, Pentangle, John Etheridge, Fairport Convention, Kate Bush, Cliff Richard, Rod Stewart, T Rex...

Not sure when it was recorded, but it would make sense that it was in the mid-late 70s, when he recorded the other stuff with members of the then London jazz scene.

The youtube description says:

A track from the album Propensity, released in 2009 on Art Of Life Records.
Recorded at Island Studios, St. Peter’s Square, London, England on September 4th and 5th, 1978

Amazing rhythm section. I rather like this record.

Btw I believe these sessions date from the late 70s?

Recorded at Island Studios in St. Peter's Square, Hammersmith, London, on 4th and 5th September 1978.

Two days in the studio was enough.

Allan Holdsworth playing with Wayne Shorter and John Patitucci (although apparently not together in the studio) on a recording - "Final Project," a piece from the 1990 album "Silent Will" by Italian drummer and composer Andrea Marcelli:

Two days? TWO DAYS??!

What is this, Dark Side of the blinking Moon? What do they need two days for?

Manfred wouldn’t stand for it.
