Love Hurts
2019
Mack Avenue
Live, with no overdubs, guitarist Julian Lage, drummer Dave King of The Bad Plus, and bassist Jorge Roeder run down a set of tunes with no foolishness. The mood is elegant but loose an the gang takes on Roy Orbison, David Lynch, Ornette, and other varied non-standard standards. Lage is a nimble and virtuosic guitarist but this isn’t the flex zone—he wants to play these songs and stretch out melodies to see what’s inside them. You can play this when family comes over.
