Despite his young age, Julian Lage is one of the most accomplished and prominent guitarists in modern jazz and improvised music. Anyone with even a passing interest in guitar should make sure to check him out, regardless of personal genre preferences, as he’s a complete virtuoso who plays, composes, and improvises with unfailing taste. Lage’s return to Boston will follow the release of his Blue Note Records debut album, a wonderfully varied record that bolsters Lage’s reputation as not only a model practitioner of swinging jazz and blues, but also intimate solo pieces and allusions to early rock, Americana and country twang, and introspective indie and folk rock.
