Lage Lund Trio
Jazzcultural347 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Guitarist Lage Lund leads a trio with bassist Vicente Archer and drummer Bill Stewart at Jazzcultural, with two sets scheduled and a live stream of the evening.
Norwegian-born Lund moved to New York and won the 2005 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition. He has appeared with the David Sánchez Quartet, Mark Turner Quartet, Seamus Blake Quintet and the Maria Schneider Orchestra. The New York Times has called him a “casually magnetic” presence, “channeling reticence into a whisper-quiet mystique.”
Jazzcultural offers a distinctive live music experience in Manhattan, housed in a space that invites close connection between performers and audience. The venue features a modestly sized room where the sound carries clearly, allowing even those at the back to catch the nuances of each set. Seating is available but limited, encouraging an attentive listening environment without the distraction of a bustling bar scene. The venue operates with ticketed shows, often featuring multiple sets that stretch into the late evening, giving you a full night of music. While there is a bar, the focus remains on the performances, making it a place to immerse yourself in the artistry of jazz. The neighborhood adds a quiet charm, making the walk to and from the venue part of the evening’s rhythm.
