Jimmy Haslip Joining Alan Holdsworth Band and Tour

Allan Holdsworth Band: Allan Holdsworth, Jimmy Haslip and Virgil Donati

Last week, we broke the story that Jimmy Haslip was taking a year off from the Yellowjackets and would be replaced by Felix Pastorius.

We just found out why.

Haslip will be joining guitarist Allan Holdsworth on the guitarist’s new tour, with Virgil Donati on drums and forming Holdsworth’s “new power jazz-rock trio”.

The initial tour dates have been announced for the U.S. and Europe.

Dates for Asia and Australia, with the possibility for dates in South America, will be announced later.

  1. Just saw them at the Sellersville Theater last Sunday night. Incredible. Holdsworth’s, well you know. Haslip’s amazing (plays lefty but strung right-handed, so some cool runs in his repertoire). Donati is just plain S-I-C-K, aside from his speed and full command he’s the heaviest handed drummer I’ve ever heard. He blew out the floor toms monitor.

    Awesome power trio!
