"What I look for in music is wholeness, Holdsworth concluded, "... like when you and the music and the other musicians are all one. That's when everything makes sense. And when that's really working, it makes all the problems and the pain worthwhile. All the guys become like one thing and the music just flies. To me, that's what jazz is really all about." | "What I look for in music is wholeness, Holdsworth concluded, "... like when you and the music and the other musicians are all one.
