This Monday night from 6pm to 9pm on WKCR 89.9FM and wkcr.org, our Deep Focus on Allan Holdsworth answers the question, “What makes us love the musicians we love?” They do something magical that no one else had ever thought of before. Or the magical thing they do is so outlandishly demanding that, if anyone else had thought of it, they simply would not have been able to execute it. Holdsworth was another of the handful of conjurers who deserves the title, “guitarists’ guitarist.” He passed away at 70 this month and we celebrate him with a Deep Focus featuring guitarists Vernon Reid, David Gilmore and Chris Buono. History, mystery and surprise abounding.
