#4528, From Soundcheck: Erika Dohi, Gary Lucas
Listen to music from pianist/composer Erika Dohi and guitarist/songwriter Gary Lucas from their remote sessions for the Soundcheck Podcast.
Japanese-born, NYC-based pianist and composer Erika Dohi, is also one half of Contemporary Music Duo RighteousGIRLS. Her 2021 solo record I, Castorpollux (37d03d) named for the twin deities of Castor and Pollux, deals with duality, the idea of a “split self”–in works that float between composed and improvised music. Erika Dohi plays partially prepared piano remotely, both solo, and together with sax player and improviser Immanuel Wilkins.
Then, listen to a remote session featuring guitarist Gary Lucas, who has played with Captain Beefheart, written hit songs with Jeff Buckley and Joan Osborne, and covered everything from 1930s Chinese pop to classical music. Lucas plays some key highlights from his 40-year retrospective of his career of writing, arranging, performing and exploring music, including trippy pedal-assisted electric guitar freakouts, and an adaptation of music by Leoš Janáček. - Caryn Havlik
