Lage will mark the arrival of View With One Bedroom with a packed international live schedule, including a week-long stand at New York’s famed Village Vanguard (July 26-31), to be followed this fall by the “View With A Room In Concert” US tour, kicking off September 13 in Pittsburgh, PA’s Oaks Theater, then traveling through mid-December.

View With A Room sees Lage fulfill a longstanding goal of “having lush orchestration combined with an organic sense of improvisation and the agility of a small ensemble” by adjoining his core trio of Roeder and King with legendary guitarist Bill Frisell. Having already collaborated in several different contexts, including duo concerts and projects imagined by John Zorn, the two musicians have refined a shorthand musical vocabulary rich in references – covering The Beach Boys, the American and European quartets of Keith Jarrett and All Things Must by George Harrison. Pass – to create a subtle, eloquent weave that expertly manifests Lage’s enhanced vision in an atmospheric and incisive way throughout the new collection.

“There’s no one I would trust more than Bill Frisell to step into our trio ecosystem and be able to expand it while embracing it totally,” Lage says. “It became a great collaboration that resulted in the Technicolor experience I was looking for.”

Produced by Lage’s wife and musical partner, singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy, at Brooklyn’s Bridge Studios with engineer Mark Goodell, View With A Room marks Lage’s second release through Blue Note Records, following the first acclaimed album of last year, Squint. Lage’s longtime friend and collaborator, Armand Hirsch, added built-in post-production elements that emphasize the emotional intent of each song.
