ALLAN HOLDSWORTH to join TERRY BOZZIO for jam sessions in Japan

This just in from MOONJUNE RECORDS:

"Allan is joining Terry Bozzio for 3 nights improv-jam sessions this November in Tokyo. One time only engagement, and for sure, a dream team for many, having together one of the greatest guitar players of our time and one of the greatest drummers of our time, and who knows what the future would bring.  1/2 set will be improv guitar/drums between Terry and Allan, and the second half would be improv of Allan Holdsworth, Terry Bozzio and two King Crimson’s alumni, Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn.
