Interested in a hugely influential UK jazz innovator… a godfather of prog-jazz to players down the generations such as Chris Montague… admired by the daddy of them all John McLaughlin… a player who has not had his work explored beyond the pages of magazines much over the years? If yes to all the above Devil Take the Hindmost – The Otherworldly Music of Allan Holdsworth by Ed Chang, who runs the voluminous Holdsworth blog Thread Of Lunacy, is certainly worth your close attention.
Published by Jazz in Britain, who claim the tome is ''The first ever book on guitarist Allan Holdsworth'' at 412 pages long – the devil looks to be necessarily in the copious detail.
