GARY LUCAS AND JOZEF VAN WISSEM FANTASIAS FOR GUITAR AND LUTE BOWERY POETRY CLUB FRIDAY FEB. 25TH, 8pm, $12 308 Bowery (corner of Bowery and Bleecker), NYC
Gary Lucas, hailed by England's Folk Roots as “without question, the most interesting and challenging guitarist playing today", joins forces with the Dutch lute master Jozef Van Wissem to play music from their acclaimed new album “The Universe of Absence" (BvHaast) and more, in a rare NYC live appearance at the Bowery Poetry Club on Friday Feb. 25th at 8pm.
Reviews for “The Universe of Absence":
“4 STARS...A MUSIC WHOSE EQUAL IS DIFFICULT TO FIND. They continually come up with melodies never played before and surprising sound elements." Westzeit (Germany), 12/2004
“4 STARS...NEO-PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE. A pearl of improvisation and psychedelia...a wonderfully rippling soundscape which intrigues from beginning to end." Heaven (Holland), 12/2004
“STUNNING...showcasing a subtle alchemy at work...hallmarked by exquisite interplay...full of energy and colour." The Wire (UK), 10/2004
“IN KEEPING WITH THE GUITARIST'S POLICY OF NEVER STANDING STILL MUSICALLY" Roots (UK), 1/05
