Allan Holdsworth’s “Non-Brewed Condiment” is a dazzling display of his unparalleled command over harmony, legato phrasing, and melodic invention. The track, from his 1986 album Atavachron, features his pioneering use of the SynthAxe, allowing for impossibly fluid note articulation and deeply expressive phrasing. The composition itself is a maze of non-diatonic harmonic movement, intricate chord voicings, and unpredictable melodic lines, showcasing Holdsworth’s unique approach to jazz fusion. His phrasing is effortlessly smooth, with rapid yet lyrical passages that seem to float over the complex rhythmic foundation. “Non-Brewed Condiment” is a prime example of Holdsworth’s genius—blurring the lines between guitar and synthesizer, improvisation and composition, tradition and innovation—cementing his legacy as one of the most visionary guitarists in modern music.
