Guitarist and composer Julian Lage realizes an ambition on View with a Room, 15
months after 2021's Squint, his Blue Note debut. Re-engaging his trio with
bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King, the guitarist sets out to answer a
long-held musical question: "Can you have lush orchestration combined with an
organic sense of improvisation and the agility of a small ensemble?" He
discovered clues in studying the electric guitar's history on recordings by
Charlie Christian, Jimmy Bryant, and George Barnes, all of whom were masters of
dynamic, texture, tone, and harmony. Lage wasn't interested in increasing his
ensemble's size, but he did feel a need for an additional voice as balance. He
recruited friend and occasional collaborator, guitar icon Bill Frisell. He
appears on seven of these ten originals. They developed a musical vocabulary
rich in influential references from other sources too: the Beach Boys, George
Harrison's All Things Must Pass, and Keith Jarrett's now-storied American and
European quartets. The album was produced by Lage's singer/songwriter and
spouse Margaret Glaspy. [...]
