“…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.
