Santa Rosa-born guitarist Julian Lage has emerged as a stunningly accomplished creative force in modern music. He was the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary film Jules at Eight, a Grammy Award performer at 13, and achieved faculty status at the Stanford Jazz Workshop at 15. Lage joined the vibraphone innovator Gary Burton’s star-making quartet in 2004 at age 16, and has embraced jazz, pop, country, bluegrass, and acoustic folk with equal élan. He’s recorded 15 albums as a leader and lent his singular virtuosity to work with Charles Lloyd, Eric Harland, John Zorn, Terri Lyne Carrington, Fred Hersch, and Nels Cline. Lage is joined by longtime bassist Jorge Roeder, drummer Kenny Wollesen, and keyboard master John Medeski, best known as one third of the jazz-funk trio Medeski Martin & Wood.
