I blame fellow Fusenetter, Gary Husband for my loudest gig - when he was part of the Allan Holdsworth Group mid 90's and at the Old Vic tavern in merrie old...
Jon Newey editor of Jazzwise, recently reviewing Soft Machine's The Middle Earth tapes, suggested the 1967/8 recording was like being at the London club front...
Seems my previous posting via e-mail did not come through, so let me repeat my recommendation of Hiromi Uehara's new concept album "Hiromi's Sonicbloom-Time...
I'll second that. Amazing disc that everyone should hear. My cd of the year thus far George np: Planet X - Quantum ... From: "Helmut Koch" <excite_me@...> ...
there's a dvd out in torrent world with this band. it's really outstanding. she's pretty darn cute too ;-P ... the year thus far ... me ... album "Hiromi's ......
She is def. hot. Is that dvd you mentioned the 3 track Japanese tv appearance? George ... From: "dexmike" <dexmike@...> there's a dvd out in torrent...
Cone and I are seeing her this Sunday at Yoshi's. I'm excited to see what the addition of a guitarist in the band is like. She gets my vote for largest hair,...
All this talk is making me hungry to hear this Nipponese lassie. Is there any chance someone can kinda - you know - just side up to the guy at the desk with a...
james, ask rob bourque about japanese fusion. he listens to all the good bands,....kenso, prism, paradox, t-square, etc. being in australia, have you ever...
Hi Stephen, I have indeed seen some of our best Fusion musos, having the amazing fortune to play with one of our premier Fusion guitarists, Jimmy Kelly, from...
cool, i'll have to search out some music by jimmy kelly. chad wackerman was using australian guitar phenom james muller for quite awhile but i don't know if ...
Hi James. I have to chime in here about Crossfire. I think I must have been one of the only Brits to be a fan when they were doing their stuff years ago. I...

Hi En, Jimmy K was the guy who introduced me to Larry Carlton. I'd heard the Crusaders via listening to Randy Crawford, and Joe Sample, but I did NOT know who...
Oddly enough, Chad is not at all a thrilling drummer to watch. He is very studious and workmanlike in his approach and that hasn't changed from the 80's when...
Wackerman is in England, probably at this very moment with the Allan Holdsworth / Alan Pasqua group. Dick was talking about it on his radio show just minutes...
Maybe this has been done, but I missed 'em. Anybody have any reviews/feedback on the following 3 new recordings: Planet X - Quantum w/Holdsworth Jeff Beck -...
Hi Don, Did I say anything about histrionics? B^). Chad W intrigues me as a drummer. Here's a guy who played with Zappa ('Let's Move To Cleveland' from 'Does...
The Planet X is a mild disappointment. It's as consistent as their other 2 studio releases, but I'm finding no standout tracks here and definitely nothing new...
I have to say Wackerman's "European counterpart" also demonstrates these skills and the differing range of bands - his peers (and I) believe him to be a master...
Hi Jim- thanks for the fascinating Crossfire insights! At the time I was well immersed into the whole panoply of fusion and had followed all the session guys...

... And late night TV in the US - was it the Dennis Miller show? I think he became the "bandleader" after Andy Summers left. Chad is just simply a monster,...
I will offer that 'Chads European Counterpart' (named for spousal relation, no doubt) has all that plus a touch of showmanship (or at least human emotive...
Chad IS a monster drummer. He's also got the onstage personality of a mouse. No offense meant, he's just a quiet personality and does a very workman-like job....
i have this bootleg with no info, does anyone have a tracklisting, venue, date, etc, all i have is chris poland and the new yorkers 1980, any info at all is a...
It is funny about that. The musicianship is the mandatory element and Chad has that in spades. I'd give your right arm to be able to play like that and screw...
