All About Jazz
Holdsworth takes a bop-oriented approach to Joe Henderson‘s “Isotope,” twisting and elongating melodic phrases like a sharp John Scofieldand, after another sparkling Beck solo, returns for a closing solo that explodes with the bright yet brittle metallic edge of harder rock guitar. […]

A bit bland for my taste. […]
