New photo updates on the Dirty & Beautiful recording sessions at www.garyhusband.com featuring Mark King sessions and John McLaughlin sessions respectively.

Mark and Gary Husband wrote Alverstone Jam for Volume 1, based on a great funk duet between them. Mark plays wonderfully on the track Sulley (intended for the Volume 2 release, Spring 2011.) along with John McLaughlin and Gary Husband.

Morgan Roussel — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:06:57 +0000

Gary has recently relaunched his website at www.garyhusband.com.

There you can find a pretty good Gallery (with Holdsworth and Level 42 never before published shots from the archives etc – plus a demo soundtrack from a good few years ago).

He’s also working hard on a new jazz/rock album, “Dirty & Beautiful” – a big new international project – (to be released in the form of two volumes on the Abstractlogix label) featuring a plethora of guest musicians including John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jimmy Johnson, Steve Topping, Steve Price, Mark King, Jerry Goodman, Lawrence Cottle, Jan Hammer, Steve Hackett, Robin Trower, Livingstone Brown and others (with more to be announced!).

Volume 1 of the album is due for release mid November this year.
