Julian Lage is a young but already very successful jazz guitar player from the USA. Last year he has recorded his first Solo-CD Sounding Point with some special guests including Christ Thile and Bela Fleck.
The following video was made on the occasion of the CD release. Julian Lage tells about his childhood, how he got his first guitar, how he started to play jazz and also about musicians that influenced him or helped him with this first CD.
Julian Lage – About his Album Sounding Point
Brilliant young guitarist Julian Lage talks about his debut solo album Sounding Point, released on Emarcy Records
Julian was just 12 years old when he was one of the young musical prodigy kids that played at the 2000 Grammy Awards:
Grammy Awards 2000 – Young Musical Prodigy Kids
Julian plays a guitar built by Linda Manzer – Linda builds beautiful guitars – but unfortunately they are too expensive for me.
I am curious how Julian will go on with his carrerer and which collaborations he well do in the future.
I have collected some other videos with Julian Lage in the following playlist:
