Music reviews of All Night Wrong
Music Review: This guitarist knows his chops........ and then some
Rating: 5 Stars
There is little more exciting than listening to a musician who knows where he is going, knows his chord progressions, and is comfortable from there to embark on fluid but disciplined lead breaks; even better when the band keeps up...... Jimmy Johnson on bass and Chad Wackerman ride shotgun on this 2002-released live ride. Allan Holdsworth possesses a solid armoury of guitar technique, and has tastefully garnished it over the years with experimental use of synthaxe and pedal to achieve some blissfully complex licks as well as superbly stretched ambient jazz fusion moments. Small wonder that he is held in such regard by both rock and jazz guitarists alike. The material holds up well under the onslaught.
When the live recording is open and dynamic, the excitement increases. Live recordings have been problematical in earlier times, but this one captures the sweat and tears very well.
Description of All Night Wrong
The title may offer insight into guitar legend Holdsworth's notorious aversion to the pressures of live recordings; indeed, this marks the first live solo album of his long career. But the nigh-flawless performances here (recorded in May, 2002 at the Roppongi Pit Inn in Tokyo, Japan) also suggest a certain irony to the fusion pioneer's concerns. His distinctive chordal melodic technique sets "Lanyard Loop" (and much of the album) in a quietly savory orbit; but it's a deceptively languorous framework that Holdsworth masterfully uses to contrast his often-aggressive soloing. "The Things You See" showcases some remarkably fluid tonal shifts and a solo tack that's as free and Coltrane-esque as advertised. The soft focus of "Alphrazallan" proves it can also be a tightrope walk, while drummer Chad Wackerman's playful, funk-edged solo introduction gives the dark, cascading mystery of the guitarist's playing on "Zone" yet another compelling facet, with bassist Jimmy Johnson capably adding yet another layer of rhythmic complexity. The jazzy, neo-swing of "Water on the Brain, Pt. II" and "Gas Lamp Blues" (where Johnson in particular shines) displays the trio's forceful, economic interplay to good effect, and one that stands in dramatic contrast to the dreamy soundscape "Above & Below." Fusion remains an underappreciated musical language, but this is a fine live showcase for one of its master linguists.Jazz Fusion CDs
