The great jazz guitarist Allan Holdsworth shyly came to town last night and played the an amazing set of music. His legato sweeps and Coltrane-like lines were brilliant, and drummer Chad Wackerman(Zappa) and bassist Ernest Tibbs aptly kept up with him. Thanks to the Bop Shop for bringing this musical genius to Rochester and for allowing jazz to live, breathe and evolve like Coltrane and Miles envisioned.
