"Believe It" is a 1975 album by The New Tony Williams Lifetime. The music is quintessential jazz-rock. All band members contributed tunes. Two tunes in particular have received attention among Holdsworth fans: "Fred" is a signature tune of Allan's, featuring a relatively straightforward melody and harmony. "Proto-Cosmos" by Alan Pasqua would be played as the encore of many of Allan's shows. "Red Alert" would also be played live, in particular in the later part of Allan's career. Around half the album was originally recorded as a demo, live in the studio. Allan was not so much a fan of the recording itself, but he cherished his time with Tony Williams, as it allowed him great musical freedom. He would also retain close ties to Alan Pasqua throughout his career.


A classic jazzrock album, featuring “Proto-Cosmos” (by Alan Pasqua) and “Fred”, both Holdsworth live perennials. Tony’s energetic, passionate drumming elevates the music, and is a perfect foil for Allan.
