HOLDING PATTERN - HOLDING PATTERN - 1981

HOLDING PATTERN - HOLDING PATTERN - 1981

YEAR: 1981
STYLE: Symphonic Progressive Rock
FORMAT: FLAC(Image + Log + .Cue + Scans + 5% Recovery)
SIZE: 211 Mb
COUNTRY: USA
THE BAND: Tony Spada / acoustic & electric guitars; Mark Tannenbaum / Grand piano, Rhodes, mellotron, Moog, and Hammond; Jerry Lalancette / bass; Robert Hutchinson / drums, percussion

Many reports say that Holding Pattern was mainly a vehicle for guitarist Tony Spada. Although the same musicians appear on both releases, there have been many different musicians playing under the band's banner. Tony is the only constant. The first release was the self-titled 1981 EP. These songs, along with other tracks recorded over the years, were re-released as the 1991 album "Majestic."

Tony Spada is a talented guitarist, and knows the art of subtlety. He has sited Yes, Happy the Man, Dixie dregs, and Steve Hackett as influences. Along with Holding Pattern, he has also released two solo albums. Ever the working musician, his resume also includes playing live gigs with Kansas, Steve Morse, Rick Wakeman, and Steve Howe.

The band was co-founded with drummer Robert Hutchinson. A veteran of the Connecticut prog scene, he had previously been a member of Elysian Field, and Whisper. In 1984 he decided to try his luck in Los Angeles. Getting nowhere, he hung up his sticks for an indefinite period. The renewed interest in Holding Pattern caused him to return to Connecticut, where he is currently a drum instructor.

Tony Castellano, and Mark Tannenbaum are also members of the original band. They both hold college degrees, and have contributed to Spada's solo work.
As a true reunion always remains a possibility, the group is appropriately named.


Holding Pattern was and remains (let's hope not for too long) an unsung prog hero band from the USA. Back in the second half of the 70s, they created an amazing symphonic prog offering, displaying a strong melodic vibe in their compositions and lots of energy in their performances. Guitarist Tony Spada was obviously the band's musical leader (in fact,, he wrote most of the material), but despite the fact that his instrument is featured in the mix, the band's sound is predominantly focused in the interaction between guitar and keyboard, with the rhythm section providing a solid scheme for that interaction. Their clean melodic approach to prog rock is definitely influenced by Camel, Genesis 76-77/Hackett and Happy the Man's symphonic side, with a touch of Dixie Dregs sans the country factor and an ounce of jazz-prog occasional ornaments in the rhythm section. Their eponymous 1981 EP was their only oficial release before their recent return: the only other HP CD available was "Majestic", released in the early 90s with the EP plus abundant extra material. The performative finesse in this "Holding Pattern" EP is excellent, sharp and polished: that being said, it is regrettable that the sound production is so primitive, but again, we must remember that this was a low-budget band struggling to get noticed in a rock era that was becoming increasingly unfriendly toward anything related to art-rock. The punchy hook of 'Another Point of View' is really irresistible, bearing an attractive feel through its moderately complex structure: imagine classic Camel with a rockier edge and you may have an idea of what I'm referring to. The band's charm remains intact with the next number, 'Honor Before Glory', which pretty much can be described as an exercise in eerie melancholy Hackett-style: I suspect that Steve Hackett's signature piece 'Spectral Mornings' has been a powerful influence in Spada's writing for this one. The agility returns in full swing with 'Jigsaw Dream', which comprises some funky cadences among the symphonic jam that takes place in a most dynamic way: Camel with a touch of Return to Forever's jolliest side. The band's energy is clear and vital in both their explicit and introverted moments, and that's very clever, since it avoids the band to get too mellow for the evocative essence of 'Honor Before Glory'. This EP ends 'Out of the tunnels', a piece that finds the band exploring some subtle Crimsonian nuances (a-al 'Larks' Tongues II') in certain passages, while exploring their rockier side. This is a very recommendable prog item, indeed, and definitely those who come across the "Majesty" CD should purchase it too.
