Here is the link: Jazz Guitarist Julian Lage On 'Arclight' And Shifting Musical Genres : NPR
I strongly recommend you listen to it, not read the transcript, because he plays - both complete pieces and illustrative snippets.
Julian Lage is, simply, the finest guitarist playing today (alongside Jeff Beck, of course, but very different). His work is varied, thoughtful, fun, accessible, incredibly, incredibly diffcult yet always musical. Just wonderful.
Here he is on NPR’s Fresh Air. He is plugging his latest jazz trio album, but the interview covers his history, with a clip from the documentary about him when he was 8 years old through today. Most importantly, Lage discusses how he approaches music, song, musical communication, etc.
Julian Lage is so “inside” being a musician that he comes across as a Zen music master with the voice of a little boy (he is 28 but still sounds like Doogie Howser earnestly typing into his online journal - but the Truth and Wisdom of what Lage is saying is so obvious and present that you shut up and listen.)
Here is a link to a thread I posted earlier. It links to a YouTube of a master class that Lage taught: Guitar Master Workshop, Jazz: Julian Lage - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
