Gary Husband News

Zildjian NEWS mentions Gary just finished touring with Level 42 in November...

The site also mentions an upcoming UK Tour with a project called "Force Majeure", featuring Randy Brecker, Jim Beard and the awesome Matt Garrison [img]graemlins/music.gif[/img] , etc... Click HERE for a summary, scroll down a bit... Nice Real Audio sample available as well... Would be nice to have some British HOD folks attending one of those... Followed with a full review of course!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh yeah.....i'll be there. that sounds like a great line up....ive never seen husband play; im intigued....and would love to se brecker and garrison......

wots husband's playing like....he seems to do the pop thing, the jazz thing, and play piano!

Well his site is www.garyhusband.com

I love his work with Holdsworth... One of them being Wardenclyffe Tower... Check out his colorful cymbal work on track# 2 "Sphere of Innocence"... Track#4 "Dodgy Boat" is awesome too...

HOD member BennyAndTheSkins once interestingly described Gary's playing: "His playing reminds me of ocean waves during a storm."

To be honnest I have not had the chance to get into his solo stuff as yet... [img]frown.gif[/img] [img]frown.gif[/img]

Drummer World has a good summary of his work as well, CLICK HERE

It has a CLIP of him CLICK HERE

Hope this clarifies things a little more for you Louie...

Don't miss Gary, he is great. I know him since he was 19 (that's already more than 20 years ago!) and he was already fantastic then.

Great, great player!

So did anyone go see Husband's Force Majeure? Any reviews??

Gary's News Section HERE mentions an upcoming "Force Majeure DVD/CD" to be released out of this Tour. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Gary is the most phoenominal musican. On his new album, he is playing drums and piano, while Mick Hutton is on bass. You should check it out.
I spoke to Mick about the recording as I play in a band with him. He said that he went in to record his part on one particular tune and when he got there Gary had already recorded drums and piano on top of each other and it sounded amazing. He also said that it was some of the hardest music he's ever had to play!

What a talent - and English too!! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

Bloody English!!

Just kidding Dazz. We Scots are famous for a few things too.....heart disease, alcoholism, and the Bay City Rollers!

Seriously though, I love Gary's playing in every situation I've heard him in, so I'd def see him if I had the chance.

I'm interviewing Gary tonight for MikeDolbear.com. There's also a review of the album up there.

He's a great guy, I've studied with him a few times and he's been nothing other than electric everytime!

Keep your eyes peeled on the site for the interview!

Louie, GH is a great player...i have a live boot laying around here somewhere on disc of he & Vinnie in 'duet' clinic...

Even tho that is a nice clip of him that BH posted [from "Drummer World," w the ambidexterity within that groove, & all], it doesn't truly do him justice...

Cobham had him on piano & drum duet on either a recent Glass Menagerie or Spectrrum tour[?!] in recent yrs. [some1 here will clarify the tour, I'm sure.]

Check out all his stuff w Allan Holdsworth,

altho METAL FATIGUE & WARDENCLYFFE TOWER [also w Chad W & Vinnie [img]eek.gif[/img] ] stand out; ATAVACHRON, SAND, HARD HAT AREA, & THEN! 2003 are all stellar performances by all involved. & many of these have Chad on a couple of tracks AW, & Tony Wms. plays on ATAVACHRON AW.

Pedro is right, you will not be dissapointed. Great player, & 1 of my all time faves & major influences. [& he "ain't too durn bad on that pie-anny, eitha'!" [img]wink.gif[/img] ]

Check out http://www.serious.com Gary has written the sound tracks for officially licensed NFL + UEFA EURO 2004 CD (Rom) cardz! Very cool.

Gary's fluid style will shower
you with inspiration!

I must say, I wasn't keen on gary playing with level 42. Phil gould was the only man for that. Apart from that, rock on Gary!

I saw Gary w/ Holdsworth in Albany NY at a small club a number of years ago......good stuff!

Gould w 42 was indeed great, but i'm sure GH is "knockin' 'da bottom outta' that gig" AW...

That line-up, Force Majeure, Featuring Gary Husband, Randy Brecker, Gerry Goodman, Jim Beard, Elliot Mason, Matt Garrison and Arto Tuncboyaciyan sounds like 1 heckuva show...i wonder if "Gerry" is actually "Jerry" [typo?], as in Mahavishnu violinist, or simply some other English cat named Gerry...

...too bad they can't tour what i "affectionately" like to call the [somewhat, remarkably] @#$%&! "jazz-fusion impaired" States...

I went to the Morecambe gig and it was great, although the music was a bit to free for my liking, to see the guys play was an experience. If I had the option I would have posted my photos up with Gary and Matthew Garrison.

Phil Gould with Level 42 RULES.

I agree, as much as I really dig Gary's fusion/jazz playing, Phil Gould fits in Level 42 better. I have the Live Level 42 with Gary on it, don't get me wrong, he plays GREAT. Nice cymbal work with his splashes, solid rock chops.

Go and listen to a sample of Phil Gould's playing on "Lessons in Love" from the Running in the Family album at Amazon. Click Here and scroll down a little. That's an awesome open Hi-Hat groove (a la Porcaro), and not that easily mastered either. You gotta open the Hi-Hat quickly enough (heel-up) on the Upbeat to make the splash groove consistently. I love that groove... [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Phil was indeed great w 42.

For some inane reason, i can't get the new versions of WMP OR [Un]Real Player to play any of these files at Amazon...

Fuse... Try upgrading your Media Player.
