Julian Lage: Love Hurts
by Mario Calvitti
A un anno esatto di distanza dal precedente Modern Lore arriva il nuovo lavoro di Julian Lage, ex enfant prodige della chitarra, che a soli 31 anni può già permettersi di festeggiare quest'anno i 20 anni trascorsi dalla sua prima incisione professionale (un duetto con il mandolinista bluegrass David Grisman nell'album Dawg Duets). Nel frattempo non è rimasto con le mani in mano, dal 2017 ha preso parte a diversi progetti insieme ad altri musicisti, curiosamente tutti chitarristi; alcuni sotto ...

Julian Lage Trio Flynn Center for the Performing Arts Burlington, Vermont December 2, 2018 It was altogether fitting that guitarist Julian Lage led his trio onto a small stage surrounded on three sides by the modified stadium seating in place at FlynnSpace this early December evening.

by Doug Collette
Modern Lore constitutes a measure of guitarist Julian Lage's grasp of the pragmatic values of a working musician. Adhering to the same three-piece unit with which he recorded his prior solo album, Arclight (Mack Avenue, 2016), he applies continuity to a career that has in recent years included solo work and duo shows with Nels Cline as well as his high-profile membership in the Gary Burton's New Quartet The uniformity within this record is comparable to the last ...

As a young guitar prodigy, Julian Lage often went to gigs at the Bay Area jazz club Yoshi's. There he would sit up front, put his head on stage and watch admiringly. Backing his early heroes at Yoshi's were two musicians who now form a trio with Lage. Double bassist Scott Colley and drummer Kenny Wollesen performed on Lage's 2016 album Arclight (Mack Avenue Records) to wide acclaim. The threesome reunites here for Modern Lore, with Lage's friend and collaborator ...

The Julian Lage Trio SFJAZZ Center San Francisco Sept. 11, 2016 Guitar virtuosity was the theme for the opening week of San Francisco presenter SFJAZZ's 2016 season.
