Video footage of TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick performing as part of the STU HAMM BAND on July 16 at The Iridium in New York City can be seen below.Having stunned audiences across the world with his innovative playing, Stu Hamm has made a name as the go-to bass player for the world's great musicians. Time spent playing with Steve Vai and Joe Satriani has cemented his place among the greats and gave Hamm the platform to display his pioneering bass techniques to adoring crowds worldwide. Now, promoting the release of his newest solo album, "The Book Of Lies", Hamm takes to the road with new music and will also debut his petite suite for solo bass. The breadth of Hamm's range is legendary and is what is at the heart of "The Book Of Lies". The title track introduces a fine style, complete with a subtle blues bass-line, later evolving into a funk jam with horns and guitar. "Back To Shabalalla" owes a debt to the loping, infectious rhythms of Afrobeat, while "Etude" is a classical piece of the type that made Hamm famous. The amazing final piece, a seven-minute epic titled "L.S.D." ranges from a BEATLES homage to a fully-leaded bass shredfest. Joining Stu in the STU HAMM BAND are Skolnick and Joel Taylor (Allan Holdsworth, Al DiMeola) on drums.
