“…blistering licks and well-orchestrated bombast.” – Jazz Times
This quartet initially converged for a 2008 tour of Japan; at last, they’ve scheduled time to bring the show stateside. Drummer Terry Bozzio was a central figure in many a Frank Zappa masterwork. In terms of technique and equipment, Allan Holdsworth has inspired legions of guitarists and shaped the trajectory of progressive rock and jazz fusion. With a respectful nod to King Crimson (with whom he performs extensively), Pat Mastelotto doubles down on percussion duties. A fellow King Crimson alumnus and first-call bassist with chops that defy genera, Tony Levin is best known for pioneering the use of his instrument of choice, the Chapman stick. Not for the faint-hearted, this super group thrives on improvisational forays that go way, way over the top.

This Whole Zappa Dan thang is killin me.
The pickin is to be decided . . . as far as I like it.
Each to it's own, I guess . . .
I used to be all over Don Ellis, Correa, and more, but not now.
I want real fingers on acoustic boxes and real voices sangin real stacked harmonies.
YOU PEOPLE messed me up, that way.
I'll never forgive or forget that . .
*G*
Shut up n pick, ya putz . . .
