By the time Holdsworth played the dates captured in the "Live At Yoshi's" recordings (specifically the 2007 run that is often the source of these rips), he was an elder statesman of fusion. He had moved past the high-octane synth-guitar excesses of the 1980s into a period of refined, almost alien beauty. He was utilizing the SynthAxe—a breath-controlled guitar synthesizer that looked like a prop from a sci-fi movie—and his band was a tight-knit unit capable of navigating his impossibly complex time signatures.
For the legions of guitarists who worship at the altar of the "Legato King," the name Allan Holdsworth is synonymous with architectural harmony, alien chord voicings, and a legato technique so fluid it sounds like a saxophone. While Holdsworth’s studio albums like Metal Fatigue and IOU are cornerstones of progressive jazz-fusion, his live material captures the raw, unfiltered brilliance that made him a musician’s musician.
