Former Level 42 drummer, now sideman to John McLaughlin and a host of others, Husband has just released Dirty and Beautiful Vol 1, the first of a series of sessions he did with...get this...McLaughlin, Steve Hackett, Alan Holdsworth, Jerry Goodman, Jan Hammer, Robin Trower.
Not all in the same room (in case we got some Mahavishnu fans' blood pressure up momentarily there, sorry), spread across this quizzical disc as a kind of 70's-hero all star revue. Husband - accomplished drummer and keyboardist (kind of a fusioneer DeJohnette) - is likewise a decent composer, keenly attuned to the nuances of guitar-driven melodic fusion.
Full review coming soon, but as I wrapped up my McLaughlin story for the Weekly today, I thought it was time to actually spin this disc. It's already a favorite, and what in the world would droopy old fusionheads like me do without Abstract Logix?
