THE CARLOS ALOMAR RHYTHM METHOD

Carlos Alomar dedicates his LP, Dream Generator, "to all rhythm guitarists." In a musical world that, for the most part, is dominated by athletic exhibitions of tasteless fret meandering by moussed meatgrinders, Alomar is an enigmatic guitar hero. As an instrumentalist, he’s as hard to define as his main man and chief artistic champion, David Bowie. As you read this, Bowie’s Glass Spider extravaganza will be making it’s way through the States with Alomar in his familiar role as the Thin White Duke’s MD (That’s Musical Director). Carlos and Bowie have been working together for more than a decade, beginning in 1974 with Bowie’s landmark Young Americans album.
