Description

Since his first visit to Japan in 1984, he has performed 24 Japan tours, with a total of 159 gigs. Of these, five recordings were made, but only the video work from his first visit in 1984 and a CD from the 2002 tour were released, while the material recorded at Roppongi Pit Inn was shelved because the perfectionist Holdsworth was not satisfied. After more than half a year of persuasion, it was finally released at the end of 2003. The members consist of a quartet: rhythm section Jimmy Johnson and Gary Husband, and keyboardist Steve Hunt. The setlist comprises numbers from "I.O.U.", "Atavachron", "Sand", "Hard Hat Area", and his Tony Williams Lifetime era. The high-tension performance has such a level of completion that it is hard to believe it was shelved, and it is on par with "All Night Wrong", which was released later. In addition, three previously unreleased improvisations featuring baritone guitar are fully included. A long-awaited piece that finally sees the light of day. Japan domestic specifications for imported discs. E-type single limited cardboard sleeve with liner notes.

Description in Japanese

ゼン! [初回限定盤] [SACD Hybrid] / アラン・ホールズワース

1984年の初来日以来24回の来日公演を行い、そのギグの回数は159回にもなる。うちレコーディングは5回、発売されたのは1984年の初来日時の映像作品と2002年の来日時のCDのみで、六本木ピット・インでレコーディングされた素材は完璧主義のホールズワースが納得できるものではなく、お蔵入りとなっていた。そして半年以上の説得の末、ようやく2003年末にリリースされる運びとなった。メンバーはジミー・ジョンソン&ゲイリー・ハズバンドのリズム・セクションにキーボードのスティーヴ・ハントからなる4人で構成。『I.O.U.』、『アタヴァクロン (原題: Atavachron)』、『サンド (原題: Sand)』、『ハード・ハット・エリア (原題: Hard Hat Area)』とトニー・ウィリアムス・ライフタイム時代のナンバーで構成されており、当時のホールズワースお気に入りのセット・リスト。そのハイテンションなパフォーマンスはお蔵入りになっていたことが信じられない完成度で、その後にリリースされた『オール・ナイト・ロング (原題: All Night Wrong)』に匹敵する出来である。また、バリトン・ギターをフィーチュアしたアルバム未収録の3つのインプロヴィゼーションが完全収録されている。ようやく陽の目をみることとなったファン待望の一枚。輸入盤国内仕様。E式シングル限定紙ジャケット仕様〈ライナーノーツ付〉
