Tempest

Musical Group

British power trio led by drummer Jon Hiseman; released Tempest (1973) and Living in Fear (1974), featuring Allan Holdsworth (guitar) and later Ollie Halsall (guitar, vocals).

Lineups mentioned in the review: Jon Hiseman (drums, bandleader), Mark Clarke (bass), Allan Holdsworth (guitar, on the first album), Paul Williams (vocals, on the first album), Ollie Halsall (guitar and vocals on the second album).

Review praises the technical and improvisational strengths of Tempest, highlighting Allan Holdsworth's extraordinary guitar work and Ollie Halsall's strong contributions on the second album. The trio format and Jon Hiseman's leadership are emphasized. Recommended especially for musicians.

For:Fans of progressive rock and jazz-rock fusion; musicians interested in guitar and drumming.

Allan is nothing less than a Martian, and even in the first Tempest album, released in 1973 with the same title (the first eight tracks of this CD), even when harnessed in the rock/blues riffs in unison with the bass and in the song structure sought by Hiseman, he showcases his incredible touch and phrasing abilities.
