On this episode of The Art of the Story, we focus on guitarist Julian Lage. The Julian Lage Quartet will be anchoring the South Orange Performing Arts Center’s Jazz Appreciation Month in April in partnership with NJPAC productions.
The concert is set for April 2 at SOPAC.
Widely regarded as one of the most distinctive guitar voices of his generation, Julian Lage has built a career that bridges tradition and innovation with remarkable ease. For this performance, he is joined by an acclaimed quartet of longtime collaborators: bassist Jorge Roeder, drummer Kenny Wollesen, and keyboardist John Medeski. Together, the ensemble explores music that is dynamic, conversational, and deeply collaborative — music that evolves in real time through interplay and shared intuition.
In 2023, Julian Lage he spoke to Lee Merger in front of a live audience during on Blue Note at Sea Cruise where he talked about how his father and mother has influenced his career.
