About event
Julian Lage (Blue Note/US) *live*
featuring:
John Medeski
Jorge Roeder
Kenny Wollesen
*Advance sale 35 € plus fees * Box office tba.*
Doors: 7:30 p.m.
Show: 8:30 p.m.
Julian Lage comes along with John Medeski (keys), Jorge Roeder (bass), Kenny Wollesen (drums) and his new album "Scenes from Above" to Berlin.
While the previous album "Speak to Me" from 2024 was Julian Lage's statement as an improvising bandleader who leads a relatively large ensemble through a diverse series of pieces, he now presents himself as a simple band member and has recorded "Scenes from Above" with a quartet. The nine tracks deliver an open and organic sound that is born of community: no solos that drown out everything, but four musicians who talk to each other without drowning out each other and give and take space equally while they explore the songs in real time - a sound that noticeably arises from the shared process.
Julian Lage's outstanding qualities come into their own in a playful way: a sound architect who somnambulously navigates the countless currents of music history Jazz, pop, country, bluegrass, acoustic folk and rock. Acoustic and electric guitars, subtle melodies and complex textures combine to create a transparent, deep yet easily accessible sound. Sometimes delicate and atmospheric (Opal), sometimes pulsating and playful (Talking Drum), sometimes emotional and wide-open (Something More).
Although not even 40 years old, Julian Lage has been an internationally celebrated guitar virtuoso for three decades. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he began performing publicly at the age of six and two years later played with Carlos Santana, among others. A documentary film was even made about him, “Jules at Eight,” and he gave his first jazz workshop at Stanford University when he was just 15 years old. The musician, who now lives in New York, can look back on a long career characterized by collaborations with Gary Burton, John Zorn and duo projects, among others. with Nels Cline, Chris Eldridge and Fred Hersch.
What makes Julian Lage and concerts with him so special: He has an extensive harmonic vocabulary, flawless dexterity and an incredible ability for free association and improvisation and sounds so authentic and genuine, as if he were playing a spontaneous concert in the bar around the corner.
