Info
On 15 May 2026 at Royal Festival Hall in London, guitarist Julian Lage assembles a quartet with John Medeski, Jorge Roeder and Kenny Wollesen. Rooted in jazz and American folk traditions, Lage favors clear melodies, elastic phrasing and a relaxed but precise attack. His long-standing connection with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Kenny Wollesen shapes a trio language that moves easily from intimate counterpoint to earthy, groove-forward momentum, letting pieces breathe without losing focus.
With John Medeski on keyboards and organ, the palette widens: harmonies thicken, drones and percussive clusters surface, and the trio’s clean lines tilt toward denser dialogues. Themes from across Lage’s songbook become launching pads for improvisation, shifting between unison figures, open-ended vamps and quick exchanges that highlight each player’s touch. Roeder anchors and redirects, Wollesen colors and nudges the time, while Medeski threads fuzzed edges and warm chords through the guitar’s singable motifs. The result is a live set built on interplay and contrast, shaped in the moment and attentive to detail.
