fantastic.� Lage also met bassist and Peru native Jorge Roeder at Stanford Jazz. Roeder is now a member of Lage’s band, the Julian Lage Group. He met Lin at Calhoun School, where Lin is a music teacher, in New York City. Roeder said he is looking forward to playing with Lage and Lin once again. “To share the common rhythm with string instruments is something that I find very appealing. There’s a great sense of communication,� Roeder said. “Julian and Victor are incredibly proficient in
their instruments and they also are very eager to communicate, to have fun and share the experience. For me it’s just a pleasure every time I play with them.� All three agree that Django continues to be one of the most influential voices in the history of jazz music. Lin and Lage said that their concert will not attempt to replicate Django’s sound, but rather capture the spirit and recognizable style of his music. “Django is inextricably linked to that guitar style that he played and the violin style of Stephane Grappelli (with whom he founded the Quintette of the Hot Club of France),� Lin said. “The way I see

it, as long as the spirit of that is present, that hypnotic, addictive rhythmic quality and that romantic and dramatic aspect, you can go wherever.� “I could never (try to) play the way he played; that’d be a lost cause!� Lage said. “I don’t see it as much as a tribute — it’s more of a celebration of that kind of exciting, innovative quality he had throughout his career.� Roeder said that anyone will be able to appreciate the trio’s take on Django’s music. “I am from Peru, where jazz is not something that you hear very often,� he said. “But the sense of communication that exists be-
tween (Julian, Victor and me) can eradiate to the audience the same way it captured me. I think it can be enjoyed on many different levels.� For Lage, Roeder and Lin, the concert is simply another chance to play great music in great company. As Lin recounted, the three musicians have fun playing together no matter where they are — even on the streets of Palo Alto. “Last year when we had some down time, just for fun, we would drive to the middle of Palo Alto. We’d just stand on the street corner and play as a trio,� Lin said. “If you can have fun playing on the corner of University Avenue,
