This was followed by a solo set drawing on material from Gary’s 20-plus solo albums,

and then Gary was joined onstage by guest vocalist Alessio Franchini, who performed many of the dozen songs co-written by Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley, including “Grace” and “Mojo Pin”.

Directly before his appearance in Italy, Gary performed solo in Havana Cuba at the Gaia Arts Centre on Oct. 17th as part of a new production of Federico Garcia Lorca’s play “La Casa de Bernarda Alba”, directed by Esther Cardoso. He also performed live on national Radio Havana Cuba.

Gary began what proved to be very busy month with the NYC premiere of the expanded concert edition of his celebrated 1930’s Chinese pop project “The Edge of Heaven”, which received standing ovations at BAM’S sold-out Fisher Space Oct. 4th and 5th.

An excerpt from Lucas’ score is included on Gary’s new “Cinefantastique” album. out now on Northern Spy Records.

First review just in for Gary Lucas’ new “Cinefantastique” album:

Guitar wizard Gary Lucas’ impressive CV includes stints with Captain Beefheart and writing iconic songs with Jeff Buckley. As a movie buff, he also often performs one-man live soundtracks to macabre classics like Spanish “Dracula”. His hypnotic, cinematic virtuosity is celebrated further on this stirring record, which also includes re-imagined guitar scores to cult, classic flicks by Fellini, Hitchcock and Herzog.”—Stephen Daultrey, Bizarre (UK), Sept. 2013
