Salim Ghazi Saeedi Million Hands Oriental Dancer Review by Gary Hill
Salim Ghazi Saeedi is a musician who originally hailed from Iran, but is now relocated to Australia. I've reviewed quite a few of his albums in the past, and this is his latest. I'd say that it probably falls closest under fusion, but we put fusion in prog rock, anyway. This has a lot of connections to guitar heroes like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. This particular album sometimes gets a bit too freeform for my tastes, but there is enough solid stuff to keep me interested anyway. I should mention that this is a truly solo project with Saeedi writing and playing every bit of this instrumental album.
