Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and today I'm playing along with Julian Lodge.

I'm just playing along with you.

I'm just playing along with you.

Hey, I'm Nora.

And with me, always and forever, is Sarah Oda.

Hello, hello.

Our guest today is the incredible guitar player and prolific composer Julian Lodge.

He's put out an extensive collection of albums both on his own and collaborating with others.

He starred in a documentary film titled Jules at 8, made in 1996 by Mark Becker,

which featured his virtuosity at a very young age.

And now, as you'll hear, his performances continue to be profoundly intelligent and captivating.

He's one of the most humble and unpresumptuous musicians we met on this podcast.

Wouldn't you say?

He's incredibly humble for how good he is and how long he's been good. Yeah, and he's a very

open and approachable musician, I feel like, considering how skilled he is. He's very much a student

of life, it seems like he's kind of one of those. Definitely. in the best, most beautiful way. Yes. Yes. And it was so fun to get to play with him. We have a lot of mutual friends, and I've known Julian a long time. We also had his wife, Margaret Glasby, on this podcast last season. She's an incredible musician as well. And Julian has a new album that just came out last week titled Scenes from Above.

This project is with the new quartet featuring John Modeski, Jorge Roder, and Kenny Wallison.

So be sure to check that out.

We had a great time.

I hope you enjoy it.

Here we go with Julian Lodge. Do you sit in home and play?

I'm not as much as I used to.
