Guitar virtuoso Julian Lage has shared “Tributary,” the latest single from the guitar virtuoso’s forthcoming album View With A Room featuring fellow guitarist and labelmate Bill Frisell, bassist Jorge Roeder, and drummer Dave King. An official live performance video featuring the formidable trio of Lage, Roeder, and King is also out today. View With A Room arrives September 16 on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.
Lage will mark the arrival of View With A Room with a busy international live schedule, including this fall’s “View With A Room In Concert” U.S. tour, getting underway September 13 at Pittsburgh, PA’s Oaks Theater and then traveling through mid-December.

View With A Room sees Lage fulfilling a long-standing goal to “have lush orchestration combined with an organic sense of improvisation and the agility of a small ensemble” by adjoining his core trio of Roeder and King with legendary guitarist Bill Frisell. Having previously collaborated in several different contexts, including duo concerts and projects devised by John Zorn, the two musicians honed in on a shorthand musical vocabulary rich with references – spanning The Beach Boys, Keith Jarrett’s American and European Quartets, and George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass – to craft a subtle, eloquent weave that expertly manifests Lage’s enhanced vision in atmospheric and incisive ways throughout the new collection.
“There’s no one I would trust more than Bill Frisell to come into our trio ecosystem and be able to expand it while totally embracing it,” Lage says. “It became a beautiful collaboration that achieved the Technicolor experience that I’ve been searching for.”
