Omschrijving
Lage Lund (born 12 December 1978 in Skien, Norway) is a Norwegian jazz guitarist living in
Brooklyn, New York. After discarding his dream of becoming a professional skateboarder, Lund
diverted his attention to music and picked up the guitar at the age of 13. He soon founded his
own trio playing gigs at local clubs, and at the age of 16 he was allowed to start playing regular.
While Skien, Norway might not be the most central of jazz scenes, Lund was drawn to the music.
This, along with a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, led him to relocate to Boston after
graduating high school. There he found a great community of musicians through the schools and
through a steady gig at famed Wally’s jazz café. In 2002 a grant from the Fulbright foundation
offered him the opportunity to move to New York. In 2003 he entered The Juilliard School full
scholarship jazz program as the first electric guitarist in the history of the school, with graduation
in 2005. Lund has been a fixture in the jazz clubs since he relocated to New York, frequently leading
bands at Smalls, 55bar, The Jazz Gallery, as well as larger venues like Jazz at Lincoln Center,
Blues Alley and the Kennedy Center. At the same time he is a busy sideman working with a variety
of highly established musicians like Carmen Lundy, Ingrid Jensen, Wynton Marsalis, and the LCJO,
Eric Revis, Seamus Blake and others.
