Its a great honor to be Jean Luc's guitarist

[@stevejohnson7354]

And, you have been a Great Guitarist for Jean Luc !

[@PeterLaman]

It's even a greater honor to have Allan Holdsworth play on your album.

[@niftylights3]

Hi Jamie,you are also great guitarist...i remember you very well and your "leopard "Ibanez GUITAR & randall amp!we speak at Music Fair @Italy,Pesaro 1992

[@sunrah4469]

I saw you play with jean-luc in 1979 at the SANTA MONICA CIVIC AUDITORIUM. You played beautifully.

[@robbryant3588]

Sir, Your playing is not like Allan's or like Darryl's or like Joaquin's but it stands on its own extremely well!

[@Brian98121]

Allan Holdsworth was shear genius on guitar. His phrasing and sound were incredible. A true virtuoso. Holdsworth and Ponty playing together was Godlike.

[@kylebarnett350]

one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard. no one played like Allan. R.I.P.

[@moariboichannel2107]

Kyle Barnet and I love you 57

[@Tfunkize]

@@moariboichannel2107 year just great i agreee

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

It's certainly a GREAT Allan solo! I love the entire track so much. It's very pop, but check out Allan's two solos here... not a well known track I think.. I love hearing Allan out of his normal context: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGjOiqKpjLOmY5o

[@lex.cordis]

@@ElrondHubbard_1 Had a feeling that's the one it would be before I even clicked on it! This is one of my go-tos when introducing someone to Allan. It's more accesible, I think.

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

@@lex.cordis Funny. Great choice as an introduction, I think. I happened to see a KZbin video of someone playing (or trying to play) the solo... I was like, "cover of what??" - only like 2 years ago. So nice to find a gem I'd never heard of!

[@paulmorrison4338]

JLP helped introduce Allan to the world in 1977 with 'Enigmatic Ocean', still a jazz fusion masterpiece. That was after Allan's 'Velvet Darkness' album which went largely un-noticed but before he played with UK or Bill Bruford. As Steve Vai once said, people will still be talking about Allan Holdsworth 100 years from now, he was that good. Rest in peace.

[@josefomx1]

You didn't mentioned tempest, allan holsworth was incredible since that record.

[@aloysiussnailchaser272]

I think he'd already been well introduced to the world by 1977. By then he'd played with Nucleus, Soft Machine, Tony William's Lifetime and Pierre Moerlen's Gong. His contribution to all them was exemplary, particularly Soft Machine's Bundles. Most, if not all of them, are on KZbin.

[@AMAR-ym7sz]

He's still my favorite. There is such a beauty to his playing that is unmatched.

[@sugimasa242]

アホー様、ジャンリュック様、何万曲の佳曲を聴いてきただろう。 私にとって最高到達点はこの曲です。 フランク師匠も異論ないと思います。 この曲聴いて何回も泣ける日本の変態より。

[@youngchool]

In a month (4/15), it would be 5 years since Allan left us and joined his next band this time in heaven! I met his twice at Yoshi', Oakland, CA. He was setting up his gears before the show. When I said hello to the master shyly, he replied kindly 'oh hello!' with BIG SMILE AND HIS BIG EYES! I saw Mr. Ponty too at the same place. Wonderful show! My favorite collaboration of them is Nostalgia (Individual Choice). Thank you masters for wonderful music and sweet memories!

[@JimmyGianlu]

Allan make me cry with this solo.....incredible, so stunning....

[@metamorphosis67]

Yeah. Brings back memories from the "Enigmatic Ocean" and "Individual Choice" days. It wouldn't hurt Allan to record more in somewhat more prog-rock contexts like he did in the 1970's.

[@orlandovallejos7460]

Me too. Make me feel so good.

[@alexandresovinil1]

+metamorphosis67 Eu penso, na minha humilde opinião, que o Allan salvou o Individual Choice da mediocridade, em In Spite of All.

[@greatmusic382]

totally agree, many blessings on this!

[@snuppssynthchannel]

Its Pantagruel!

[@greatmusic382]

Holdsworth-Ponty magic --- a more magical world with their magic

[@davehighlife1959]

Just as Toots Thielmans and Jaco Pastorius were a heavenly match, Allan and Jean-Luc were same... So much love and appreciation for all of them

[@genjimonogatari6156]

Such sophistication ❤sad for people who cannot feel this music!

[@alijens]

RIP Allan Holdsworth! I was lucky to see him live.

[@hanscelis8699]

Shocking to hear of Allan's death. He was the greatest part of my "musical life" for over 40 years, starting with the soft machine. For me he will always be the greatest guitarist ever. RIP Allan Holdsworth.

[@BluesideUK]

Let's face it, in the first 7 seconds you hear enough 'joy' expressed in the chord arpeggiation to know that this is going to be one incredible piece of music...wow. A-game right here.

[@noternunstoned]

It's a great honor to be Allan Holdsworth's violinist

[@ThomasBGregg]

Holdsworth starts at the 3 minute mark. Outstanding.

[@brianoconnell41]

RIP Allan Holdsworth, one of the most unique and terrifyingly lovely guitarists of all time.

[@LarryKutcher]

RIP maestro Allan Holdsworth... Thank you for the otherworldly, crystalline chords and the beautifully phrased, cascading legato solo lines, that revealed scale sources from unseen worlds...

[@Sperzel]

Beautiful words

[@SimonWAtack]

Brilliant playimg by William Lecomt on Piano too here. This is just fabulous playing of a sublime composition from everyone involved.

[@hanscelis8699]

Allan has always been my favourite guitarist. His unique legato style has never ben equalised. One of a kind. Simply the best.

[@joebeeber8693]

Hans Celis listen to Scott Henderson he's the real deal!!!

[@fusionfan6883]

Scott is great for sure and a pioneer in his own right, but he is very different to Allan, and I would not say he is predominantly a legato stylist.

[@hazardeur]

it wasn't even mainly the legato style that makes him so unique even today. i mean many people have duplicated that kind of playing over the years. but the no1 reason why allan is so difficult to reach is his melodic vocabulary, his phrasing and mostly his melodies and chords. that's much harder to imitate, at least on the same level of quality

[@SanderAnderon]

RIP Allan; for me his solos w/Ponty were the soundtrack of my 1970s, those LPs played until the grooves worn flat. So sad to hear the news just now, very very sad but happy he was on this planet awhile.

[@jason698]

Allan has so many great solos but this one touches my heart

[@timages]

Alan Holdsworth, other worldly, there has never been a guitarist like him. ...astonishing in every way. RIP

[@mcminimethec]

I heard a lot of Holds but this solo,... I can just listen over and over!

[@hanscelis8699]

so so sad, allan holdsworth is no longer among us. the absolute king of guitar. My favorite since the tony Williams lifetime. his improvising is not of this earth. RIP allan holdsworth.

[@virgilrw]

Allan was an unmistakable musical genius! RIP! Excellent song by Jean Luc Ponti

[@thesphericalguy9018]

Allan was truly one of a kind, what a loss to the world of music.

[@seansouth9012]

Perhaps one of the best guitar solos I've heard, elements of Chopin

[@ntesslafan]

The pictures are wonderful! The music too!

[@carldesserich8509]

I saw both Jean-Luc and Allan live many, many times, and was fortunate to have met both in person. Wish I could have seen them play together! I actually got to ask Jean-Luc if he would ever again collaborate with Allan, and he wasn't sure it would ever happen since he was living back in France by then. Allan passed away in my city, not far from where I live, so it hit even harder for us locally. Both provided sound tracks to my life...some of the greatest music in my world.

[@hanscelis8699]

there will be only one allan holdsworth. jean luc is great, but allan is outstanding. his solo is not of this earh. iI w will take decades to discover such talent again. RIP Allan .

[@jamiepastman5594]

Oh Allan I miss you so much!!!!

[@investorart58]

Mr Pastman - you yourself are a musical genius! Capable of catching lightning in a bottle - I've seen it! As for Allan - this may be one of his best solo's. There are at least 8-9 that make me listen 12 times each time listen - this is one of those. Honestly - this makes me sob. How could any human assemble this fluidity? It is true wizardry. So grateful JLP utilized him - as he sounds at his best with him - imho.

[@akarshrastogi3682]

Amazing track

[@jarrilaurila]

Jeez. Jean luc has been my top musicians since i was a kid. Still love all his work. My father was a drummer and our household bands were UK, Bruford, JLP, King Crimson, Camel, Steely Dan, Corea, Yes etc. Hundreds of vinyls for search for. Now years go by and i am going nowhere.

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

Well?

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

Allan used to play the violin for a few years in the seventies. Should he continued to play the violin he might have rival Jean Luc's position as the top Jazz violinist in the world.

[@jimwalsh5418]

yes, Allan was a singular force in music. He laid the tracks for the proto shredders of our times. This Piece & solo are just beautiful. Probably in 100 years he will be hailed as a master. Not just the guitar playing but the wonderful music he composed.Allan spanned rock, classical and jazz with equal aplomb. I mean, who could do that? Trane?

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

None yet and none may ever steer his tracks.

[@Belfreyite]

"all this guy does is play diminished scales very fast without any emotion" funniest quote i know

[@ElrondHubbard_1]

Jikke Dobbelaar That is indeed hilarious. I've heard similar. What's so weird of course is that his playing is just freaking overflowing with emotion in each perfect note.

[@MikePulcinellaVideo]

I would say to that person...since you have it all figured out, you do that and let’s see if you become one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

[@blzbob7936]

Sweet.

[@metamorphosis67]

That's just your taste. I used to work with a hard-rock/goth guitar player that called John Abercrombie's great track "Timeless" from the early 1970's exactly that: 'elevator music' & all Pat Metheny Group recordings 'the worst kind of elevator muzak.' Ben Monder's "Oceana" album is a great one but very few people who don't appreciate the Allan Holdsworth of "Enigmatic Ocean" or "I.O.U." at the very least, are likely to even last for 10 minutes listening to something as adventurous as Monder.
