Lage Lund Trio 12/6/19 Firehouse 12

Norwegian born Lage (pronounced Log-A) Lund on hollow body guitar was joined by Will Vinson on sax and Orlando Le Fleming on standup bass. I am a fan of Scandic ( maybe Nordic) jazz. Clean picking, melodic sax, and sturdy bass was more composed than improvised. Lage said that one tune was recorded with Kurt Elling on vocals, with lyrics penned by his wife. Lund has also done a stint with Maria Schneider's big band, so the modern composition is in his wheel house. The tunes sometimes veered into a jazz-Americana feel, like what I enjoy from Erik Friedlander. Final tune was from one of the greatest composers of all time, Morning Glory by the inimitable Duke Ellington.
