Allan Holdsworth to perform; sponsored by University Events October 8, 1987 Media Contact: Ruth Baily, University Events Office, 534-4090 or Alixandra Williams, Public Information Office, 534-3120 BRITISH JAZZ GUITARIST ALLAN HOLDSWORTH WILL PERFORM AT UCSD ON OCT. 21 Jazz guitarist Allan Holdsworth will perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the University of California, San Diego Mandeville Auditorium. Known for his speed and complex, inventive technique, Holdsworth is often called the "guitarist's guitarist." An Orange County resident, Holdsworth started his career in his native England. He moved to the United States in 1981, after deciding that the jazz climate in the United States would be more receptive to his progressive guitar style. Holdsworth, 38, cut his debut album in 1981 with the I.O.U. band, in England. The record sold 35,000 copies, although it was available only by mail. In 1982 he collaborated with Eddie Van Halen on the Warner album called "Road Games." The album was nominated for a Grammy as Best Rock Instrumental for 1983. In 1985 he earned critical acclaim for the album "Metal Fatigue," which he made for Enigma Records, after waiting out a two-year, two-record contractual agreement with Warner. A music critic for Guitar Player Magazine said, "Calling Holdsworth's playing 'groundbreaking' is an understatement: with each album he makes quantum leaps in the chord vocabulary, soloing technique and tonal state of the electric guitar." His most recent release, "Atavachron," by Enigma, features Holdsworth playing on a guitar synthesizer called the "SynthAxe." Allan Holdsworth and the I.O.U.'s are brought to San Diego by the University Events Office. Tickets are: $11, general admission; $9, seniors; $7, students, and may be purchased at the UCSD Box Office (534-4559) or from Ticket Master outlets. (October 8, 1987).

Allan Holdsworth Schille Reshaping Harmony
BJØRN ALLAN HOLDSWORTH SCHILLE RESHAPING HARMONY Master Thesis in Musicology - February 2011 Institute of Musicology| University of Oslo 3001 2 2 Acknowledgment Writing this master thesis has been an incredible rewarding process, and I would like to use this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to those who have assisted me in my work. Most importantly I would like to thank my wonderful supervisors, Odd Skårberg and Eckhard Baur, for their good advice and guidance. Their continued encouragement and confidence in my work has been a source of strength and motivation throughout these last few years. My thanks to Steve Hunt for his transcription of the chord changes to “Pud Wud” and helpful information regarding his experience of playing with Allan Holdsworth. I also wish to thank Jeremy Poparad for generously providing me with the chord changes to “The Sixteen Men of Tain”. Furthermore I would like to thank Gaute Hellås for his incredible effort of reviewing the text and providing helpful comments where my spelling or formulations was off. His hard work was beyond what any friend could ask for. (I owe you one!) Big thanks to friends and family: Your love, support and patience through the years has always been, and will always be, a source of strength. And finally I wish to acknowledge Arne Torvik for introducing me to the music of Allan Holdsworth so many years ago in a practicing room at the Grieg Academy of Music in Bergen. Looking back, it is obvious that this was one of those life-changing moments; a moment I am sincerely grateful for.

Interview: Rich Mangicaro - Photos: Rob Shanahan 015 Parents have a powerful and positive impact upon the development and health of their children. The relationship between father and son early on in life is crucial—dad is his son’s first role model. He is both consciously and subconsciously observed, and his words and actions are absorbed, even before the child’s first spoken word. With an artistic parent, a child can be influenced even while still in the womb; rhythms and melodies permeate mama’s belly and the child is most definitely affected by this. Some say it’s the beginning of ‘natural talent’ or ‘being born with it.’ Some say the child is an old soul. To have one child that is born with this natural artistic talent is quite something to behold, but to have four?! This is extraordinary. Thus is the case with the Wackerman family. Hailing from Orange County, California, this gifted musical family has inspired thousands of musicians worldwide. All four of Chuck and Barbara Wackerman’s sons are absolute virtuosos on their instrument. Three of their sons, Chad, John and Brooks became drummers like their dad. Equally as talented as his drumming brothers, Bob Wackerman chose the drummer’s right-hand instrument, the bass.

2005 on Allan Holdsworth
On Allan Holdsworth: January 2005 with Christophe Coureau 1) Do you remember the circumstances in which you first became aware of Allan as a musician ? I was surprised to read a Melody Maker interview from November 1972 in which you already cited Allan as one of the guitarists that impressed you most, alongside John McLaughlin and Robert Fripp. Where did you first see him play, and with whom ? I can't quite remember. Maybe a Soft Machine album, and certainly he was very strong on "Gazeuse" by Gong. No-one else had that liquid style and the octave leaps and the whammy bar and the rest of it... 2) As far as I know, your first collaboration with Allan was a demo for Virgin of "The Abingdon Chasp" in, I think, the summer of 1976, alongside Dave Stewart, Francis Moze and Ray Warleigh. Is this true? Do you remember playing/recording more tracks? Just Allan's compositions? Was this the first time you ever played together? Did that session leave you a strong impression, an inkling that Allan and yourself could form a strong musical partnership ? I don't remember anything about that demo, but Allan had certainly aked me to play in a pub in Putney (South-West London ) some time around then with Ray Warleigh. of course, by now I knew enough about his talent to be hugely impressed, and to think that if ever the opportunity arose, if ever I could find a vehicle big enough to contain him, I'd give him a call... 3) Although you had found Jeff Berlin as early as 1975, it seems you didn't think of asking Allan to join your band and that he played on "Feels Good To Me" as a last minute decision.

In December 1973, it added guitarist Allan Holdsworth (recently with Jon Hiseman’s Tempest, and previously Nucleus) to its line-up, which then consisted of Soft Machine founding member and keyboardist Mike Ratledge, along with pianist and saxophonist Karl Jenkins, bass player Roy Babbington, and drummer John Marshall. Jenkins and Ratledge then composed a whole new repertoire, which the band road-tested on extensive tours of North America and continental Europe in the first half of 1974. That material eventually made up Soft Machine’s eighth recording, the first not named after its order of release: the album Bundles, widely acknowledged as a jazz-rock / fusion classic. When released by EMI’s Harvest Label in early 1975, Bundles would secure Soft Machine’s role in the transcontinental jazz-rock pantheon alongside Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra in the USA, and Nucleus, Brand X, and Isotope in the UK. Soft Machine’s status in the international jazz/rock avant-garde was widely apparent even before Bundles’ official release.

18 Th and 19 Th Century Who Had an Impact on Later Developments in Jazz Guitar
The development of the Electric Jazz Guitar in the 20 th century – by Pebber Brown One of the areas that is historically very important but sorely missing from any music texts, is that of the history of the jazz guitar and its players. In this essay, I will explore some of its early origins as an instrument and briefly look at some of the significant early guitar players of the 18 th and 19 th century who had an impact on later developments in jazz guitar. Moving into the early part of the 20 th century, I will also explore some of the influential non-classical guitarists who influenced the acceptance of the guitar as a viable jazz instrument, and lastly I will explore the importance of the invention of the electric guitar an look at some of the less well known but very important jazz guitarists of the 20 th century. Some insight into the origins of the guitar The guitar was invented many centuries ago in Spain as a predecessor of older Middle-Eastern stringed instruments such as the Zither, and the Lyre. The first guitars had less strings on them and were called "Chitarra." These instruments were played up until the 17th century when the more modern "Guitarra" was invented in Spain. The Guitarra later became the "Guitar," and it made its way to Northern Europe and in England and the Netherlands they created their own version of it called the Lute. Lutes are most called "Baroque" lutes pertaining to the music played on them during the Baroque period.

July 8 2006, A&E Arts in Rotation Soft Machine Legacy Is a Very Pale
July 8 2006, A&E Arts In Rotation Soft Machine Legacy is a very pale ghost of the wildly erratic free-form jazz-folk-rock-R&B-blues-raga group Soft Machine that emerged from the intellectually explosive and artistically liberal atmosphere in Canterbury in the mid-1960s. The original Soft Machine contained, in various combinations over the next decade, such notable members of the British pop-jazz avant garde as bassist/composer Kevin Ayers, singer/drummer Robert Wyatt, singer-songwriter Daevid Allen, keyboardist Michael Ratledge, bassist Hugh Hopper, drummer John Marshall, sax players Elton Dean and Karl Jenkins and guitarists Allan Holdsworth and John Etheridge. The four-piece revival called Soft Machine Legacy - Hopper, Etheridge, Marshall and Dean - manages to evoke much of the progressive spirit of the original band and the heady era that spawned it in the live concert DVD, Soft Machine Legacy, shot last December at the venerable Paris concert club New Morning, only a few weeks before Dean passed away. The 10-song set, ubiquitously available on countless Internet music retail sites for less than $20, includes classics "Ash," "Baker's Treat," "KiteRunner" and "Strange Comfort," as well as several more recent Machine-worthy originals and pre-performance interviews with the 60-something band members who trace with witty, provocative repartee their personal memories of the distant and strange history of one of Britain's most inventive and influential musical collectives. -- Greg Quill .
