About the album

Guitarist Julian Lage is set to release Arclight, the debut album of his new trio featuring modern masters, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Kenny Wollesen. That trio has been touring in recent months—notably a concert at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall in October. This album showcases Lage’s growth as a leader and songwriter, and further solidifies his status as a premier guitar virtuoso. Lage spent road time as well in 2015 touring in support of his acoustic solo record, World’s Fair; touring with Wilco’s Nels Cline promoting their duo record ROOM; playing with Chris Eldridge of the Punch Brothers; and opening for The Milk Carton Kids on their West Coast Tour. Julian has a heavy slate of dates too in the works for April and May 2016 across the country.

Julian Lage (guitar)

Hailed as one of the most prodigious guitarists of his generation, Julian Lage has spent more than a decade searching through the myriad strains of American musical history via impeccable technique, free association and a spirit of infinite possibility. Though only 30, the New York-based musician boasts a long, prolific resume as sideman (alongside such icons as Gary Burton and John Zorn), duo partner (with Nels Cline, Chris Eldridge and Fred Hersch, among others), and as soloist and bandleader.

Burroughs, Black Rider), to Sean Lennon, to Ron Sexsmith (Wolleson performs on his second album, Other Songs). A founding member of the New Klezmer Trio, Wolleson is also all over N.Y.C.'s downtown jazz and avant-garde musicians' recordings, and has been so active as to tour with Bill Friselland Myra Melford in the same month.
