(1996)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [2] None Too Soon is the ninth studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1996 through Polydor Records (Japan), JMS–Cream Records (Europe) and Restless Records (United States). The album is a departure from Holdsworth's usual solo work, in that it is composed mainly of jazz standard interpretations, as well as two original pieces written by pianist and long-time collaborator Gordon Beck.[3] Both musicians had previously worked together on the albums Sunbird (1979), The Things You See (1980) and With a Heart in My Song (1988). According to Holdsworth, Beck's use of a digital piano (as opposed to a regular one) was something to which the latter was not accustomed.[1]
