The New Yorker says that Julian Lage is of the “highest category of improvising musicians, those who can enact thoughts and impulses as they receive them.”
The California-born, New York–based guitarist has evolved from collaborator (with giants such as Gary Burton, Jim Hall, David Grisman, Béla Fleck, and Charles Lloyd) to bandleader. On Modern Lore, Lage’s second studio recording with his trio, the composer and guitarist focuses on the groove, building his melodies and solos around the work of the prodigious rhythm section.
