Gary Husband: Difference between revisions

"The first time I played with '''Husband''' was a one-off gig in Milwaukee, out of the blue" Jimmy recalls. "Allan cancelled a tour for some reason and had one gig he just couldn’t get out of, and Chad wasn’t available, so '''Husband''' came over and played it. We met in the middle of the country, rented a bunch of gear and played this gig, and it was, like, ‘Yow! Where is this guy going?’ It was wild. I loved it. It was so different, such a contrast. It’s amazing how it changes the material around, just how each approaches it."

"The guys all played incredibly. I was really moved by what they did. Among some of the highlights noted by Holdsworth are drummer '''Gary'''’ '''Husband'''’s City Nights (Very nice," says Holdsworth; "with good chord progressions."); Steve Hunt’s Maid Marian [sic] ("When he first presented it to us it reminded me of something from Old England, like Robin Hood, but it was quite soft so we renamed it Maid Marian."); Endomorph, a solo piece in which Holdsworth dubs guitar over Synth-Axe; Spokes ("I really liked bicycling riding when I was a kid, and this piece reminded me of it - of wheelies, actually."); 54 Duncan Terrace (This was the address of a really great piano player friend of mine who died a few years ago. He had this wonderful room in his house.. A white room with blue clouds painted on it or maybe it was vice versa And he had this old Bluthner piano in there. The music he used to write was soft and gentle, with colorful harmonics. And I wrote the piece for him. The chord sequen ce sort of reminds me of something he would have done.").
