Hey Mr Hayward

You must have been at The Stables Wavendon! I was there too! It was great.... Chad is a master. I love that they played FRED. I love the original with Tony Williams and Chad did a great job and really put a lot of this own feel in there too.... which was nice.

Time just flew by though... could have done with another hour or 2!!

I also saw him a few months ago at the Montreal jazz fest. I was floored.

Amazing.

Effortless mastering of countless time signatures, brilliant and tasteful use of cymbals, especially his china and bells, amazing fills - great use of his high tom, amazing grooves.

We were two drummers together, in a sea of guitarists, and we hardly paid any attention at all to Holdsworth - quite a shame actually !

I subsequently bought the record "All night wrong" which is performed by the same trio. What a band.

I saw him play with Barbara Streisand back in 86 at an invite only show. He had a great mullet back then. Barry Gibbs was there too and did a duet with Barbara. I was really impressed by his drumming.
