Fringe Review: The Last Gig of Lenny Breau

The Last Gig of Lenny Breau
Agro Café
Friday, September 5 2008 6:30pm

Great Canadian guitarist Lenny Breau is commemorated in this re-creation of the last night of his life. Breau's life and music philosophy is revealed in a musical narrative that weaves together pieces from jazz, Indian raga, country, and folk by guitarist Colin Godbout's skilled fingers.

This is not a conventional play. There is little actual dialogue, and the plot is little more than a thin frame to showcase the music of Lenny Breau.

3/5
