I have recently discovered a concert with Julian Lage which had been given on the 1st of January 2012. Julian Lage is a very successful young jazz guitar player, I have already written about him some time ago.
I like the playing of Julian Lage very much, it’s fun to listen to his guitar. He plays a great selection of jazz standards and mostly his own compositions.
The concert was given by the following Julian Lage Quartet:
- Julian Lage, guitar
- Larry Grenadier, bass
- Eric Harland, drums
- Dan Blake, tenor saxophone
The program was composed of the following pieces, all of them compositions by Julian Lage except for the 3rd piece:
- “233 Butler”
- “Grey Lightning”
- “The Best Thing for You” (Berlin)
- “Up from the North”
- “The Time it Takes”
- “However”
