About

'The Layers' is a stunning companion piece to guitarist Julian Lage's acclaimed 2022 album 'View With a Room'. The collection features six original pieces recorded during the same sessions which found Lage discovering new orchestrational possibilities by augmenting his deeply attuned trio of bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King with the addition of guitar icon Bill Frisell. Intimate and gorgeous, exploratory and embracing, imbued with vibrant colors and exquisite interplay, 'The Layers' is a welcome additional offering from this meeting of two of modern jazz's most distinctive voices with one of the music's most skilled and inventive rhythm sections. The album was produced by Margaret Glaspy and recorded by Mark Goodell with additional production by Armand Hirsch.

April 2023

[This album] highlights the gentle, more intimate side to Lage's distinctive aesthetic in which he engages with influences from classical and Spanish acoustic guitar music to alt. country/folk-jazz through to electric R&B, psych-folk and other guitar-led singer-songwriting styles.
