Lage Lund's solo on How Deep is the Ocean

More Lage! This one from his debut album Romantic Latino for Ladies. A very laid back version of Irving Berlin's standard, "How Deep is the Ocean" with some great swing and a beautiful solo. 

Really well balanced linear solo; some blues, some bebop, some harmonic minor and some diatonic lines. This one was also a bit of work but definitely worth it. Enjoy!

Lage Lund's solo and melody comping on From This Moment On

This solo comes from the great album OWL trio. This is a project Lage Lund embarked on with Will Vinson (alto sax) and Orlando le Fleming (bass). They approach some unconventional standards with a very modern touch. This is a great album for guitarists because you can easily hear Lage's comping and his approach to improvisation without a drummer.

 Lage is easily one of my favorite guitarists out there. His ideas are unique, his triadic approach to improvisation is very interesting. I have transcribed some more stuff of his; I'll post it when it's ready to go. Enjoy!
