On Saturday, March 10th, 2007 at 8PM,
the Inter-Media Art Center (also
known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island
will present a concert with jazz and rock guitarist Allan
Holdsworth. His band will also feature the
phenomenally talented jazz/rock drummer Chad Wackerman and
bassist Jimmy Johnson.
Allan Holdsworth is widely regarded by fans and contemporary
musicians as one of the 20th century’s most prominent
guitarists. He is one of a handful of musicians who
has consistently proven himself as an innovator in between
and within the worlds of rock and jazz music. Despite
the uncompromising nature of Holdsworth’s predominantly
genre-defying solo projects, he’s no stranger to
all-star jazz festival line-ups or large venue rock audiences. Musician
Magazine placed Holdsworth near the top of their “100
Greatest Guitarists of all Time”. An inductee
of Guitar Player Magazine’s Hall of Fame, Holdsworth
is a five-time winner in their readers’ poll.
A phenomenally skilled jazz and rock drummer, Chad Wackerman’s career
began in 1978 with the Bill Watrous band. Since then
he has amassed a remarkable body of work including a seven
year association with Frank Zappa. He has also recorded
6 albums and toured with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth,
played on the “One Voice” album with Barbara
Streisand, and recorded albums and toured with artists
as diverse as Steve Vai, Men at Work, Ed Mann, Albert Lee,
Dweezil Zappa, Tom Grant, James Taylor, Joe Sample, John
Patitucci and Bill Bruford. Jimmy Johnson is
a bass player who can be heard with a very wide range of
artists, including Allan Holdsworth and James Taylor, as
well as his own work with Flim & the BB’s.
