The immensely gifted guitarist, who has evolved from child prodigy to 7-time Grammy nominee, makes his long-awaited first appearance on the DACAMERA series.
Hailed as one of the most extraordinary guitarists of his generation and “highest category of improvising musicians” (The New Yorker), Julian Lage is one of the most compelling guitarists of his generation, blending virtuosic technique with a rare sense of lyricism and curiosity. Drawing equally from jazz, folk, classical, and Americana, his music feels both deeply rooted and strikingly new. Witness an artist whose playing is intimate, adventurous, and effortlessly captivating from the very first note. On his latest recording Scenes from Above, Lage teams up with steadfast bassist Jorge Roeder, dynamic drummer Kenny Wollesen, and vaunted keyboardist John Medeski.
“For all his power, he dazzles with the lightness of his touch”
— The New York Times
