Julian Lage Group 10/01/10 Firehouse 12

Got the last seat for the second set for Lage's quintet. Group consisted of cello, sax and melodica, standup bass, percussion, and Lage on guitar. More song oriented than most avant sessions that I have seen at Firehouse 12, but a welcome change. Lage is a deft picker with speedy fills. Percussionist used no sticks, just hands and fingers the entire time. Excellent duet with Lage and bass. Inventive closer 123 Butler (address of "the best guitar store ever") was a standout. Youtube Lage as a young prodigy on the show Jules At Eight.
