Transcending his prodigious beginnings — which include being the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary film Jules at Eight, a GRAMMY Awards performance at 13, and faculty status at the Stanford Jazz Workshop at 15 – Santa Rosa-born guitarist Julian Lage has emerged as a stunningly accomplished creative force in modern music. He demonstrated deep maturity and intellectual acuity from the start, joining vibraphone innovator Gary Burton’s star-making quartet in 2004 at age 16. Lage’s trajectory has been linear since then, embracing jazz, pop, country, bluegrass, and acoustic folk with equal élan. At just 35, he’s recorded 15 albums as a leader and lent his singular virtuosity to work with Charles Lloyd, Eric Harland, John Zorn, Terri Lyne Carrington, Fred Hersch, and Nels Cline. Hailing from Lima, Peru, Roeder began classical cello and bass studies at age 14 and was the assistant principal bassist for the Lima Symphony by 21. Among the first musicians he met when arriving in New York in 2007 were Julian Lage and virtuoso pianist Shai Maestro, who have been long-term musical partners ever since. A winner of the International Society of Bassists Jazz Competition and semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Bass Competition, Roeder has recorded and performed with Lage, Maestro, Gary Burton, Dan Tepfer, Brad Shepik, Nels Cline, Sofia Rei, Ryan Keberle, and John Zorn, and released his solo debut, El Suelo Mio, in 2020.
