Musician / Composer of Rock and Jazz
Allan Holdsworth (born August 6, 1946; Bradford, West Yorkshire, England -- died April 16, 2017; Vista, California, USA) was an English guitarist and composer best known for his work in jazz fusion. After recording with a number of bands throughout the 1970's, his first solo album was released -- against his will -- as 1976's "Velvet Darkness." "I.O.U.," the first solo album over which he had full artistic control, was released in 1982. He was inducted into Guitar Player Magazine's hall of fame and was a five-time winner of the magazine's readers' poll. He was also featured in Musician Magazine's 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
