If tenor saxophone giant Lester Young said someone has "big ears" it was a high compliment. It meant they were hearing everything that was there to be heard. They had acumen and they had discernment (and what higher aspiration is there for a studious listener?).
If Lester Young had heard the music of guitarist Gary Lucas, he would certainly have cited his auricular capaciousness. Captain Beefheart? Sure. 1930's Chinese pop? Certainly. Classical composition? Why not. Gary takes all his food on the same plate, and everything is the subject of profound scrutiny.
In this Deep Focus from 2018, Gary Lucas turns his attention to Charles Mingus. Know this, adepts and newbies alike: nothing will prepare you for the impact of what you will hear on this show (unless, of course, you heard this show in 2018).
