Julian Lage - Speak To Me (CD)

Guitar virtuoso Julian Lage’s 4th Blue Note release is a vivid & wondrously textured new album produced by Joe Henry which offers a series of dispatches from his ongoing search for narrative beyond words.
Intimate in tone & capacious in intention, the music travels a wide range of American music and delights in the deliberate crossing of wires between gospel hymn & rural blues, California singer-songwriter sunshine & skronky jazz.
Speak To Me showcases the guitarist in a variety of settings including solo acoustic, duo, his trio with bassist Jorge Roeder & drummer Dave King, and a larger ensemble with keyboards (from Kris Davis& Patrick Warren) & woodwinds (Levon Henry).
