Julian Lage Quartet

Oct. 22, 2026

7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Lobero Theatre

Experience an evening of boundary-pushing jazz as guitarist Julian Lage brings his latest quartet to the stage, joined by acclaimed collaborators John Medeski, Jorge Roeder, and Kenny Wollesen. Formed around Lage’s recent project Scenes from Above, the group reflects a spontaneous and deeply collaborative approach to music-making, where interaction and intuition take center stage.

Created during an intense late-2024 writing period, the project marks a shift toward a more intimate, egalitarian sound, drawing inspiration from blues, folk traditions, and global influences. Rather than spotlighting virtuosity alone, the performance unfolds through subtle interplay and real-time discovery, with each musician shaping the music as it happens.

Presented as part of Jazz at the Lobero and the Brubeck Circle series, this performance offers a rare opportunity to hear four master musicians in a setting that is both exploratory and deeply connected.
