From Gary: Yass Body turned up in NYC some years ago at Arlene's Grocery all the way from Lille France where he's based to play the annual NYC Tribute to Jerry Buckley (he is a huge Jeff fan). He came up to me and told me he'd had a dream that he was onstage performing with me—and that he decided to act on it! We quickly ran through a couple of my songs with Jeff and went out there and played. It sounded fantastic!! We made plans to play and work together and I always invited him on my subsequent gigs in Paris. Right before lockdown in Nov. 2019 we recorded an EP at a great studio, Studio 4A Sound Factory in Forges-les-Eaux Normandie run by Ari Sebag, and last year our 5-song EP finally emerged digitally on NOA Music. Now it's on CD—copies signed by Gary available now in the Merch section!

Check out Gary's new FANTASIA ON "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN" OVERTURE
Music composed by Richard Wagner 1843
Arranged for solo electric guitar by Gary Lucas
Recorded by Marc Urselli at EastSide Sound NYC
Absolutely no overdubs
Painting: "The Flying Dutchman" by Albert Pinkham Ryder, 1887, oil on canvas
This piece was developed by Gary to perform at MIT a couple years ago for his friend and partner Alison Clancy. Alison is the Principal Dancer of the Metropolitan Opera Ballet Corps and she had opened their new production onstage dancing to the orchestral version solo alone on stage before the opera proper commenced—the new production was sadly closed a week after opening because of Lockdown.
