One man of 'Trane | '''''Summary''': In an interview with virtuoso guitarist Allan Holdsworth, he expressed frustration at the lack of recognition for his unique music. He noted that jazz and rock stations didn't play his work, leaving him in a musical no-man's land. Holdsworth's style, heavily influenced by John Coltrane, involved an unorthodox technique he developed while experimenting with the guitar, using hammer-ons and legato to create flowing, saxophone-like lines. He also discussed his use of the SynthAxe synthesizer and his evolving gear setup, including Carvin hollow-body custom guitars, Steinberger guitars, and Yamaha amplifiers.''

Twelve years have flown by since I first interviewed the revered, uncompromising virtuoso guitarist Allan Holdsworth [Note.: Bill Milkowski's first story on AH was in fact published 15 years before, in Downbeat November 1985]. Back then he was completely puzzled about his place in the music industry. Among other things, he wondered why his music wasn't being regarded at all by jazz stations. This irked him, especially considering the innocuous pap that dominated jazz radio at the time.
