I really like his modern chromatic line weaving.

Everything I've ever heard Julian Lage play absolutely blows my mind. Far beyond my musical understanding, but so flat out musical that I'm always amazed by both the playing and the music every time I hear him.

Here's one from a few years ago, backing up his girlfriend / partner, Margaret Glaspy, and he plays the closest thing I've ever heard him do to a classic blues rock sort of playing, but of course he takes it all sorts of unusual and unexpected places. Goes to some sort of Richard Thompson planet which very few ever visit, let alone inhabit, but he sounds like he coulda lived there. The range to do this, do something basically classical like in the first post, and all of the "jazz" he's playing all the time. Just gobsmacked...

Saw him and Chris Eldridge for their Mount Royal album a few years ago. Absolutely fantastic. He's coming to The Fine Line here in October. Gotta get them Tix!

When I hear Julian in group formats I think, how could this get any better. Then I listen to him solo, and I think, how could this get any better.

Been doing a lot of that lately...
