Guitarist Julian Lage expands his horizons on ‘View With A Room’, a collection of 10 compelling original compositions that marks his second release for Blue Note Records. Having established a home base with his brilliant and deeply attuned trio of bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King – most recently heard on the guitarist’s acclaimed 2021 Blue Note debut Squint – Lage casts his gaze outward to discover new orchestrational possibilities with the addition of six-string icon Bill Frisell, who adds his inimitable voice to this absolutely stunning album.Recognised as a gifted guitarist from a very young age, Julian Lage’s reputation has not made him complacent, nor has he simply capitalised on his knowledge and virtuosity. Instead, he constantly challenges himself, exploring new horizons through unexpected collaborations (from Charles Lloyd to John Zorn!) and ever more ambitious personal projects. This new release comes barely a year after his previous album, Squint, which was the first he released under the prestigious Blue Note label and the first he recorded as part of a spectacular new ‘power trio’ (in which double bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King join Julian Lage and his guitar). View With A Room (again on Blue Note, with Lage leading the trio) is a record which sees the musicians expand their sonic aesthetic and explore new sound perspectives thanks to modern jazz icon Bill Frisell appearing on two-thirds of the tracks.

On ten original compositions exploring all the stylistic registers of Americana (from bluegrass and blues through to modern jazz, folk and pop), the two guitarists gracefully weave their fluid phrasing together, creating deliciously complementary sonic textures and colours. The resulting sound is lush and skilfully paradoxical: both mournful and earthy, dreamlike and energetic. Masterfully orchestrated and arranged, it’s propelled by an inventive rhythm section and brought to life by two guitarists at the top of their game. This exceptional quartet, which is all about interaction and reactivity, has produced a beautiful record–hopefully the first of many. – Stéphane Ollivier
