He wanted to explore his vision for the guitar and he couldn’t do that in my world. He wanted to go further and further out and I didn’t want that in the band. He knew that, so we never had an argument about it, but it was clear after a year that he wanted to move on. No problem with that. Many musicians have to do this. | He wanted to explore his vision for the guitar and he couldn’t do that in my world. He wanted to go further and further out and I didn’t want that in the band.

– What was the main difference between TEMPEST and COLOSSEUM? | |||
TEMPEST was more of a straightforward rock band, it was less jazzy. Allan Holdsworth played some great solos on the first TEMPEST album – fantastic solos, some of the best solos he’s ever played, actually, mainly because they were short. | |||
– What was the difference between Allan Holdsworth and Ollie Halsall? | |||
Allan was very meticulous, very clear. He had a vision about what he was trying to do. Ollie was a lunatic, a chameleon, again: in any circumstance he’d find a way to make it work. Interesting guy! I liked Ollie a lot. | |||
– Did you hear him in PATTO? | |||
I never heard him in PATTO, no. He just came recommended to me, and when we played we hit it off, I thought he was great. When we were a trio, we did some fantastic gigs – Mark Clarke, Ollie and me. | |||
– Where did you find Allan? | |||
The jazz musicians recommended him to me and said, “This is really fantastic guitarist. He’s living in the North of England and coming down to London”. But Allan was never happy with TEMPEST, he was never happy… He wanted to play much more jazz, that’s why he left. | |||
