Unlikely Stories
Guitarist Lage Lund made his first Criss Cross leader debut in 2008 with the brilliant <b>Early Songs</b>. Paring down from a quintet to quartet, he returns with <b>Unlikely Stories</b>, a vibrant set of mainly original tunes with a superb supporting cast: pianist Edward Simon, bassist Ben Street and drummer Bill Stewart. The first-ever electric guitarist to attend Juilliard, Lund possesses a staggering harmonic sophistication and a singularly fluid voice as a soloist, qualities that leap out on <b>Unlikely Stories</b> and, no doubt, on many more releases to come.
