Lage Lund is a thinking guitarist, an ideas man who doesn’t mess with the visceral and stage-shaking potential of his instrument. He keeps his tone clean and mild, and his volume no higher than that of Parks’ acoustic piano. He can articulate ‘Holiday for Strings’ or ‘All or Nothing at All’ nice and fast, but don’t expect any barnstorming, grunting or slapping of thighs from him. Young Mr Lund wins the listener over with the cool fluidity and intelligence of his solo lines, and his writing has a similar purity and simplicity. Six of these nine themes are his and each one has a natural feel that makes them appear easy to play. The title track is a ballad that Lund delivers solo for the first chorus. His exchanges with Parks then recall the classic meeting of Jim Hall and Bill Evans. Behind them Street and Stewart, as ever, hold things together tastefully without drawing undue attention to themselves. As for the future, we can only hope that one day Lund and Julian Lage will record a duet album at some open-air festival and call it: Two Lages and a Packet of Crisps.
