Gary Lucas & Peter Willems | EP Release DOUBLE DARE Vol1 | Lumière Jazz Nights
Grammy nominated New York blues/rock guitarist Gary Lucas meets 22-year-old Dutch folk/jazz singer/double bassist Peter Willems. The result is double EP; DOUBLE DARE.
"Star potential; that is the word that sticks when the dust has settled after his performance…" according to the Jury in 2019. Peter Willems won a study trip to New York at the Princess Christina Jazz Competition. After the contest, radio producer 'Co De Kloet' initiated a meeting between Peter and the world-famous American guitar virtuoso Gary Lucas, known for his work with Jeff Buckley and Captain Beefheart. After playing together for the first time in New York, recording plans quickly arose. A daring collaboration. Great contrasts; in the age difference of 48 years, in experience, in musical background and yet it sounds completely obvious. A feast for ear and heart, including an unfinished song by Jeff Buckley, own works, psychedelic blues/folk/jazz, a song by Schubert, and folk traditionals.
Double Dare VOL1 will be released on all channels on November 5 by Zennez Records.
