DIRTY & BEAUTIFUL VOLUME 2

2012 release. Multi-dimensional drummer, keyboardist, composer and arranger Gary Husband hits his stride with Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2, featuring an explosive all-star line-up of guest musicians including John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jan Hammer, Robin Trower, Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz, Mark King, Alex Machacek and Mike Stern. “Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2 “ does not merely pick up where 2010’s Volume 1 left off. Volume 2 expands upon Gary’s musical vision of creating music that is passionate and sophisticated, yet infused with grit and rawness. The mix of husband originals and cover tunes are driven by the combination of the dynamic powerhouse drumming, ferocious lead lines and distinctly evocative keyboard harmony that altogether define Gary Husband’s “multiple threat” of a musical voice. Selected highlights of “Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2” include “Fred 2011”: A reworking of the classic Allan Holdsworth song with Holdsworth on guitar and synth-master Jan Hammer taking an extended fire breathing solo. “Sulley”: a stompin’ rocker with the great John McLaughlin on guitar and bassist Mark King getting down and dirty. “Yesternow Epilogue”: guitarist Robin Trower continues his strat-soaked blues rave-up that teasingly hinted at on “Yesternow- Preview” from Volume 1. Alex Machacek deliciously smouldering on his self-penned “Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Brothers”. “England Green”: an evocative Husband original with Jimmy Herring playing the lyrical theme on guitar. “New Blues, Old Bruise”: a John McLaughlin composition given a jazzier edge featuring rising tenor sax star Sean Freeman. Not to mention other new GH originals featuring the angular intelligence of Wayne Krantz and the fiery, electric bop of Mike Stern. Musicians: Gary Husband, keyboards, drums; John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Mike Stern, Wayne Krantz, Alex Machacek, Jimmy Herring, Ray Russell, Neil Taylor, Robin Trower, guitar; Jimmy Johnson, Mark King, Teymur Phell, Laurence Cottle, Livingstone Browne, bass; Jan Hammer, keys & Sean Freeman, tenor sax.
