The Layers
Julian Lage
Guitar virtuoso Julian Lage releases The Layers, a stunning companion piece to his acclaimed 2022 album View With A Room. Released by Blue Note Records, the new 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 fellow guitar icon Bill Frisell.
“At its core, The Layers is a prequel to View With A Room. It has all the musical seeds that grew into what I consider the touchstones of View With A Room—a duo with Bill, a duo with Jorge, more atmospheric and expansive writing, Dave and Jorge’s incredible rhythmic and orchestrational sensibilities. View With A Room is a comprehensive look at these musical qualities we were so excited to explore in the studio, and The Layers offers a distillation of the various relationships within the ensemble and production team. Taken as a whole, the new record has a heartbeat all of its own.”
