Ausverkauft | JULIAN LAGE - Speak to Me Tour *live // AUSVERKAUFT

In the organizer's words:

*Sold out - no Box Office*

Julian Lage is one of the most outstanding jazz guitarists of his generation. He belongs, as the New Yorker writes, to the "highest category of improvising musicians" and has a perfect wunderkind biography. That aside for now: Julian Lage is so great because he manages to sift through the countless currents of American music history from jazz, pop, country, bluegrass, acoustic folk and rock and musically reappraise them without giving frontal lessons. The whole thing is based on excellent technique, free association and improvisation. He sounds as authentic and genuine as if he were playing a spontaneous concert in the bar around the corner.

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he began performing in public at the age of six and two years later played with Carlos Santana, among others. A documentary was even made about him, "Jules at Eight". He gave his first jazz workshop at Stanford University when he was 15. The musician, who now lives in New York, can look back on a long career characterized by collaborations with Gary Burton and John Zorn as well as duo projects with Nels Cline, Chris Eldridge and Fred Hersch, among others.

In November 2023, Julian Lage's single "Omission" was released, which will also be included on his Blue Note album "Speak To Me" announced for 2024. Julian Lage is coming to the Gretchen on the tour for the album and we're really looking forward to seeing him.
