JULIAN LAGE TRIOJulian Lage is a virtuoso guitarist and composer who roams freely between jazz, classical and folk styles. He is already considered to be one of the most exciting and dynamic guitarists on the scene today, both as a leader and with a coterie of high-profile collaborators like David Grisman, Nels Cline, Gary Burton, Béla Fleck, Joshua Bell and others.
"A guitarist whose approach to jazz accommodates all manner of the rustic and the chamberesque: Celtic, Appalachian, South American, Baroque." -the new york times
