Guitarist Julian Lage's chameleon-like abilities have covered many styles from jazz in ensembles with vibraphonist Gary Burton and drummer Eric Harland to avant-free expressions with guitarist Nels Cline in Room (Mack Avenue, 2014) and folksy bluegrass with Punch Brother's member Chris Eldridge in Avalon (Modern Lore, 2014).

Zhenya Strigalev's Smiling Organizm: Robin Goodie
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev's Smiling Organizm is an outfit that grooves, sputters, stutters, swings, skulks, and slaloms its way through the dark and funky, slick and dangerous, and wholly gripping music presented on Robin Goodie. Strigalev paints striking, rhythmically vivacious canvases here with some help from five American heavyweights--trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, drummer Eric Harland, ...
