JazzFestBrno: Purple is the Color, Julian Lage Trio

31/03/19, 19:30

Julian Lage Trio (US, PE)

Julian Lage – guitar, Jorge Roeder – double bas, Eric Doob – drums

 
 

The musical roots of this American guitarist grow through not only jazz, but also so-called roots music or Americanou, a mixture of blues, country, folk, gospel and rock. With every other album, all these influences are clearer and clearer.

 
 

Purple is the Color (AT, CZ)

Simon Raab – piano, Štěpán Flagar – saxophone, Martin Kocián – double bass, Michał Wierzgoń – drums

 
 

The absolute winner of the Czech-Austrian Central European Jazz Competition is composed of both Czech and Austrian musicians. But this is definitely not the main role of this young quartet. This is the modern sound that draws from the deep roots of the quartet-style tradition, reflecting the influences of folk, classical and popular music.
