GW: When Jimmy Johnson remarked that he was listening to '''Believe It''' on the way down to yesterday’s session, you winced. That album is really something of a landmark, and your playing is a great part of what distinguishes it. | GW: When Jimmy Johnson remarked that he was listening to '''Believe It''' on the way down to yesterday’s session, you winced.

HOLDSWORTH:: Well, it was a great period for me in terms of being introduced to some really unbelievable musicians; that’s when I met Tony [Williams] and Alan Pasqua and Tony Newton, and hanging out and just being given a chance to play with them was really amazing. Alan is a truly astounding musician and I’ve always loved the way he plays. It’s also only in the last five years that I realized what kind of a genius the guy is. Same with Gary Husband. But getting back to that particular period, I hated what I did on that record. I can’t listen to it, but I thought everybody else sounded great. But I did the best I could at the time, so, that’s all you can do, unfortunately I wish I could go back and do ‘em all again [laughs]. | |||
