Herr Georg Friedrich Haendel also wrote bass lines which 'walked', eg the second variation on Sarabande in D minor. Some have said there's no connection between George's bass lines and those you find in some jazz music but I disagree. They way they walk through the chords, play the changes, and keep the rhythm going is very similar, even if the rules governing which changes may occur are different.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

In fairness, the guys he played with early in his solo career (Branford Marsalis, Omar Hakim, Daryl Jones, Kenny Kirkland) were pretty impressive...
Funny thing with Holdsworth, some people just don't seem to get it - e.g. I have a friend who really is a fabulous, top class jazz guitarist, and just doesn't like AH's playing at all. I on the other hand was entranced the first time I heard him, and still am, I "got it" instantly I guess. Long while ago I went through a phase of wanting/wishing I could play like him lol, long since come to my senses and realized it's best left to him, but still have a (somewhat modified) green Ibanez AH10, which I bought new in '85 or '86:
AH didn't seem too keen on this model, and moved on to other things, but I still like the guitar a lot - a lovely neck for one thing.
Hiromi is great! love that, cheers not come across her before.
:-O
(I'm a huge Jason Rebello fan)
Her band Sonic Boom is worth checking out
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Thanks for that clip. Great to see someone so talented enjoying the music she is creating instead of the usual 'look at how great I am' face that many such musicians employ. Will def have to check out more Sonic Boom
If you like EST you should definitely check out Go Go Penguin. They are clearly influenced by EST but they are doing their own thing really. They're doing a UK tour in November, I'm rather excited about seeing them
