A british
jazz-rock guitarist. He grew up listening to
jazz and originally wanted to become a
saxophone player. His love of the
sax shaped his unique approach to guitar playing, which is often described as very fluid and
legato-like, sometimes unpredictable. He is also notable for his use of the
SynthAxe, which enabled him to use a
breath controller to shape notes after playing them.
Through the years, he has played with the likes of Tony Williams, Bill Bruford, Jeff Berlin and Frank Gambale.
