Beautiful Modern jazz by Lage Lund
Anthony R. Guarriello | Rutherfordton NC | 10/22/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'v been really getting into what I'm going to call the new blood of New York's modern jazz scence & Lage Lund is one of the new voices on guitar that has been making some noise playing extensively as a sideman with the likes of sax men Seamus Blake & Marcus Strickland to name only a few. Here on Early Songs Lage's debut album for the Criss Cross jazz label he is sounding great in a modern postbop with a touch of groove jazz. Joined here by Marcus Strickland on sax, Danny Grisset on piano, Orlando LeFlemming on bass & Kendrick Scott on drums. What a great band, right there you've got many of the rising stars on their instruments. The program is made up of mostly originals with a couple standards in there to keep everyone happy. My favorite track would have't be the lead off tune Scrapyard Orchestra. The rest of the album is also great I hate to use words like beautiful & organic but they come to mind when hearing these fine jazz musicians make music together. Expertly rendered, highly recommended! I'll let Lage's music speak for itself. Check it out!"
