Gary's old friend and collaborator the great Irish artist Camille O'Sullivan premiered her new show "Where Are We Now?" on Sat. Dec. 4th—the official opening night of the new Irish Arts Center on 11th Ave. and 51st St. in Manhattan. Gary worked with Camille a couple years ago in "State of Grace", an Australian tribute to Tim and Jeff Buckley in which Gods and Monsters were the house band, and he was thrilled to see her bring her magic to New York. She is giving the show here until Dec. 31st, and he urges everyone to see it if possible, it's that special.

My friend guitarist Lanny Cordola has been teaching rock music to Afghani children for the last few years, and sent me this clip before he was forced to leave not long ago by the rapid deterioration of the situation there.
What can one say or do at this tragic moment, other than pray for every terrorized Afghani citizen currently trapped there with no way out?

from the Norwegian national newswire NTB today:
LUCAS CELEBRATES 40 YEARS OF MUSIC WITH NEW SISKO COLLABORATION
The American Lucas is known as a good companion, among others for the late Jeff Buckley and Captain Beefheart.
These days, timed for his 40th anniversary as a guitarist, he is currently on record with the electronics constellation Le Beast Concrète. Collaborating partner here is the producer and beat maker David Sisko.
- I have known David for years, but something mysterious drove us together during the pandemic, says Lucas about the resulting "Gargoyle".
- We wanted to make an album that sounded like science fiction. We wanted to create a shining vision of a better future.
When Lucas invites you to an anniversary concert in his hometown of New York next month, Sonic Youth's counterpart Thurston Moore is among the announced guest artists.

SPOTIFY LIST "20 DUROS" BY JUAN DESTROYER
#15 - "Grace" - Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley: "The New York guitar player looks back on his long career with the release of the double compilation album "The Essential", which comes with a substantial booklet that provides information about each track. Jeff Buckley's time with Gods and Monsters was fleeting, but the creative connection between the two bore fruit, and two of the songs they composed ended up being part of the only LP that the Californian singer released in his life. This is the one that gave it its title, and we find it on "The Essential" in a harrowing demo version."

LOS DISCOS DE MI VIDA, a new essay Gary wrote for Mondo Sonoro was just published in Spain.
"It has taken years for Gary Lucas' work to be recognized alongside artists of the caliber of Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley, but we should now appreciate him for his excellent material over several decades. A good part of those songs have been collected in the complete compilation "The Essential Gary Lucas" (Knitting Factory Records), a release that has served us as an excuse to invite the artist to discover which records by other artists have marked him most as a person." In this article I discuss The Incredible String Band, Skip James, Laura Nyro, Captain Beefheart, Miles Davis, and Lhasa De Sela

Gary Lucas is fundraising to help cover medical and living expenses for his dear friend Jason Candler, who recently suffered a series of debilitating strokes which came out of nowhere last Tuesday April 6th. Jason is one of Gary's oldest and closest friends, having played saxophone in his band Gods and Monsters and in his Chinese music ensemble as well as recording his work over many years. Jason, his wife Lily and 18 month old son Jakob are in a very precarious position with medical bills and living expenses. Please pitch in generously whatever you can to help take some of the financial pressure off of Jason and his family while he begins his long road to recovery. You can donate here
Updates on Jason's medical progress are here

Gary was interviewed on 4/7/21 on national Polish radio by Tomasz Gregorczyk and Janusz Jablonski—just click on the button in the middle of the page (It's mainly in Polish though)
Here's the show's description translated:
Blood and Tears vs. Steel Guitar
He played Jewish music and Chinese jazz from the 1930s, was the backbone of Captain Beefheart's band, interpreted Wagner and Czech classics, and wrote rock hits for Jeff Buckley. Diversity and a unique playing style, steeped in American folk and rock psychedelia, make Gary Lucas one of the most important American guitarists of the last 30 years.
The names of Chris Cornell, Richard Wagner, Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley and Krzysztof Komeda will be dropped. Places: Silk Road, Taipei, Czech Republic, Knitting Factory. Record titles... And anyway, enough of this listing. Gary Lucas will tell you about EVERYTHING today.
"There was sweat and tears. Over the years I took literally every gig I could get. In every place in the world. Not caring about the salary...alright, caring. I've been cheated so many times I could write a book about it. But I came out of the basement with album after album building my reputation".

"Extraordinary 2-CD retrospective"
4 Stars
MOJO
"The elegance of the phrasing, the ubiquity of call and response figures (another connection to Miles Davis), the ability to fit almost sonic environment is quite uncanny...There isn't a single item here that doesn't have Lucas's musical personality running through it like quartz. Essential? It's all essential."
The Wire
"A testament to the man's restless energy and imagination."
UnCut
"Lucas' work offers a fascinating glimpse into a musical world that allows those imaginative instincts to take spark in ways that simply seem boundless. The Essential Gary Lucas offers a potpourri of adventurous sounds and ambitious intentions."
4.5 out of 5 Stars
American Songwriter Magazine
"A remarkable guitarist with a remarkable career."
OOR Magazine (NL)
"The Essential Gary Lucas" belongs at the heart of every living music collection."
ReportersOnline.com (NL)
"An exhaustive compilation of 36 songs better to understand an iconoclast of the guitar, a musician who has never been pigeonholed throughout his musical career, since he has never belonged to this or that faction."
Ruta 66 (Spain)
"An essential overview into the work and diverse musical passions of this remarkable musician."
4.5 out of 5 Stars
Jazzwise (UK)
"Utterly peerless, there's no finer pedigree in the world of creative music than Gary Lucas's and this double CD showcase the remarkable breadth of his work over the years."
5 out of 5 Stars
The Inconsistent Jukebox (UK)
"On this compendium, Lucas collects his own favorite work, and in a career that includes 30+ albums, this is likely to be everyone's favorite record of his, too."
10 out of 10
Take Effect (US)
"A feast for your ears and mind, so many textures and layers which shake, flow, and mould into a fascinating temple of sound. If you are looking for an album to enrich your listening palette, or an album to show off your musical knowledge to friends then look no further!"
4 out of 5
Off the Hook (UK)
"The star is Lucas's cosmic virtuosity, ripping raw down the rural backroads of acoustic 6-string or transforming Abdullh Ibrahim's "Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro" into poetry that illuminates the entire emotional and sonic spectrum of electric guitar."
Must-hear tracks: All 36 of them
Premier Guitar (US)
"If you've ever wondered what a Mandarin take on "All Along the Watchtower" (as sung by Feiifei Yang) would be as exciting as Bob Dylan's original, the answer is a definite 'yes'."
