Adam Holzman on working with Miles, Wayne and others

[7/4]

Adam Holzman
Optimistic evocations
by Anil Prasad

On Miles: "We explored a lot of pop songs that never saw the light of day. Everyone knows about Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” and Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,”..... He also really liked “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by Yes. "

His Dad is Jac Holzman, founder of Elektra and Nonesuch.

Great read, thanks!

The "Fixed" gambit  is frowned upon on this board as it involves altering a poster's own words without their consent.

I was just thrilled to hear him playing again, even it the material was spotty, It would have been amazing if his band sounded more like David Torn's Cloud About Mercury or King Crimson.

OK, point taken about the "fixed" gambit. Post deleted.

As for the pop material, if you live long enough you'll enjoy playing with Playmobil again, I guess.

Thank for the understanding about protocol.

As for source material, I'm of the opinion you can do anything with anything, although like anybody else, I've got my lists of things that I have zero or less interest in doing something with. But I love it when somebody has a different list and makes their case, and even, sometimes, their point.

Holzman is playing excellent music in Steven Wilson's band, easily one of the finest rock bands on the planet at this juncture.

He really impressed me when I saw that band a couple of months back. Don't think I'd seen a mini-moog since the 70s!
