  • Guitarist ‪@JulianLageofficial‬ first visited the KNKX studios in 2011, just after the release of his second album, Gladwell. Eleven years and twelve albums later, Lage returned for a solo session performance that showcased his prodigious talent and a mature artist at the top of his game.
    The last three albums from Lage and his trio with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King, span the time just before the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent return to concerts without masks. Love Hurts showed a trio getting to know each other, Squint found a trio struggling to create through health restrictions. The brand-new album View with a Room, their sophomore effort for Blue Note Records, comes from a well-honed unit. It also adds a very special guest.

    The most incredible thing about Julian is that on the contrary of other guitarists, we can see that he's not focused on the technical aspect of his playing but he's focus on how joyful it is for him to play! And that's maybe why he's so damn good at playing music :)

    This is incredible. He is simply the best. He just opened Pandoras box and Pandora loves him. This a copletely new approch to electric guitar. Since I heard John Mclaughlin with the Mahavisnue Orchestra in the early seventies nothing rocked the boat for me. Scofield was interesting and still is but what Julian does comes from another realm. You can not categorice it. It is a new artform.

I sometimes wish I had listened more jazz guitarists because I find it such an interesting genre, but I always struggled to stick with others and found it hard to fully get into jazz guitar music. I only enjoyed short burst of jazz. Finding, Julian was a revelation, a lucky find, I can listen to him play and listen again and love it each time, usually more than the last time! Thank you Julian 😊

    Julian is one of those rare people who seems completely at ease with everything he does, and one of those rare artists who so completely embodies and embraces his being as a musician that the music becomes him. Literally this just Julian and his guitar letting us in on one hell of a conversation, while still remaining completely accessible to even non- hardcore jazz heads. (Of this generation only Jon Batiste comes to mind as having this gift.)
