Key akagi solo on Allan holdsworth "white line" Tune

Edited by Renato Sommexe, in this video recorded in frankfurt 1986 we have the chance to see Alan, Gary Husband on drums, Jimmy Johnson on Bass and the amazing extraordinary Key akagi on keys at the time using the best keyboards available, yamaha CP80 for pianos and Yamaha DX7 for synth sounds, sometimes stealing the scene showing a tremendous intimacy with alan's complicated compositions, some of them not featuring keyboads in the original recording, in others replacing the also magnificent Alan Pasqua a long term partner in alan's career. Key akagi also can be seen here at youtube on Miles Davis tour in a Kitaro Look due to the long hair. Also alike is his presence in one of Dimeola's 80's shows and you can hear his improvisations along with tavaglione's wind controller synth solos in gambale's alive album which I long to see one day in video also, if someone has it please get in touch, let's share

@Dubwise4u allan never consider his music as any form of jazz or fusion and he particularly hate people calling his music jazz or fusion. so that means, there is no need to look at allan's music in the perspective of any existing form of music. allan is allan. fusion is fusion. bebop is bebop. nevertheless, allan is influenced by jazz and rock music.

@BooneBright I strongly agree that!

somebody know the patch of Akagi's dx7 ?

[Dubwise4u]

@eric1love this is not prog rock at all. This is inprov in a jazz way, not my favorite jazz. I like more bebop where melodies are important. Pro rock is bit more strict and quite hard too.

@Fallingglaz3 he just dropped it, mongoloid

Drumming got so intense that at 2:24 drumstick broke in half, great track. Thanks for this upload.

Keyboardist's name is "Kei," not "Key."

[eric1love]

is it just me, or does this sound like they're makin up as they go? Melodies aren't really melodic at all... prog rock is odd, and of course I just don't understand it..

Aydin Esen and Herbie are still my favorites, but Kei Akagi is a great player and I really enjoy these clips. Thanks for posting! That guy is right about the Frank Gambale Live album back in the 80's. That's some of his best work.

I dont think u can find Frank Gambale's Live! album videos anywhere, but it is in my top 10 album for sure, Akagi solo in Spending Sunday With You is absolutely tremendous, isn't it, it gives chills, vibrations
