 | | Description: | Modern Lore by Julian Lage, released 12 January 2018, includes the following tracks: "General Thunder", "Wordsmith", "Revelry", "Whatever You Say, Henry" and more.
This version of Modern Lore comes as a 1xLP.
The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - On Modern Lore, Julian Lage's second studio recording with his trio, the composer and guitarist focuses on the groove, building his melodies and solos around the work of the prodigious rhythm section of double bassist Scott Colley and drummer Kenny Wollesen. Modern Lore finds Lage playfully flipping the script he followed on his acclaimed 2016 Mack Avenue debut, Arclight. "Last time it was specifically a combination of the electric guitar being a lead voice interacting with those pre-bebop songs. I wanted to do a jazz record the way I had always craved to do one," Lage recalls. This time he incorporates the sensibility, if not the outright sound, of early rock and roll, a similarly hybrid form driven by rhythm, personality and a passion for the electric guitar.? © 2018 Mack Avenue Records II, LLC

The tracks are characterized by clear melodies, agile interplay with the rhythm section, and a warm, organic sound that invites repeated listening. "Modern Lore" is ideal for listeners who appreciate sophisticated guitar work that remains accessible, melodic, and full of subtle rhythmic twists rather than relying on sheer speed or volume. The production emphasizes clarity and space, allowing every nuance of Lage's touch and phrasing to be heard.

His previous projects and tours have made him a fixture on major jazz stages and in specialized guitar circles, where he is celebrated for reinventing the guitar trio format with elegance and originality. "Modern Lore" continues this trajectory, offering a portrait of an artist who combines deep musical knowledge with a fresh, contemporary sound.
