Julian Lage Quartet at the Chan Centre
2026-10-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Chan Centre, 6265 Crescent Rd, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z1, Canada
feat. John Medeski, Jorge Roeder & Kenny Wollesen
Get Tickets
Hailed as one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation and “one of the highest category of improvising musicians,” (The New Yorker) Julian Lage has spent decades exploring the many strains of American music with boundless curiosity and technical mastery. With roots tangled up in jazz, folk, classical, and country music, Lage brings what The New York Times calls “a disarming spirit of generosity” to his playing, approaching tradition as an open field for invention.
A lifelong musician, Lage emerged early as a singular talent. He learned the guitar at age five and was already playing onstage with Carlos Santana at eight. That same year, he was the subject of the short documentary Jules at Eight, showcasing his prodigious talents, performed for the Grammy Awards as a preteen, and later joined Gary Burton’s quartet at just 16. Rather than resting on early acclaim, Lage has continually evolved, recording widely as a leader and collaborating with artists including John Zorn, Fred Hersch, Nels Cline, and Chris Eldridge.
For this concert, he performs music from his newest album Scenes from Above, with bassist Jorge Roeder, drummer Kenny Wollesen, and renowned keyboardist John Medeski. Though conceptualized by Lage, Scenes from Above is not about him as bandleader. Instead, he is firmly rooted as a band member within the quartet, resulting in nine tracks that frame a brilliantly open experience. The four dazzling players give and take space in equal measure as they explore these songs in one space, in real time.
Witness the genius of Julian Lage live in Vancouver for an unforgettable experience.
This event is co-presented with Infidels Jazz as part of the VANJAZZ ’26 Jazz Festival

“He’s quickly established himself as one of the most important musicians of the 21st Century” —NPR Fresh Air
A figurehead of the new American jazz scene, as much at home in the playful, fusion-oriented world of pianist Hiromi as in the more complex, alternative worlds of artists such as Mary Halvorson and Vijay Iyer, trumpeter Adam O’Farrill invents his own lyrical, harsh and resolutely avant-garde music, reinvesting in a very contemporary way the piano-free quartet immortalized by Ornette Coleman. Against this resolutely open backdrop, Adam O’Farrill develops a naturally syncretic universe of compositions that build bridges between tradition and modernity, reflecting both the melodic and rhythmic richness of his Cuban heritage (he is the grandson of legendary arranger Chico O’Farrill) and the abundance of mixed influences that continue to make New York jazz so distinctive.

“For those who’ve ever wondered what Massive Attack would sound like doing bong hits with Miles Davis” -The Georgia Straight
Seattle-based Polyrhythmics are celebrating 16 years of sonic exploration following the release of their latest album, Life from Below (2025). Since forming in 2010, this six piece powerhouse has redefined instrumental music with a sound that blends funk, soul, psychedelic rock, R&B, and Afrobeat into a kaleidoscope of rhythm and groove. Known for their dynamic live performances and innovative compositions, the band has earned a reputation as one of the most captivating acts on the contemporary music scene.
Polyrhythmics emerged from the rich creative soil of Seattle’s eclectic music community, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2011. Since then, their discography has grown to include fan-favorite albums such as Octagon (2015), Caldera (2017), Man from the Future (2020), and Life From Below (2025). Each release showcases their fearless exploration of genre boundaries and their commitment to crafting vibrant, deeply textured soundscapes.
Last year’s Life From Below marked an exciting chapter for Polyrhythmics, delivering a fresh collection of grooves infused with the bold creativity and signature tight-knit musicianship that fans have come to expect. The band reflects on over a decade and a half of musical evolution, countless miles on the road, and a loyal community of listeners that continues to grow.
Over the years, Polyrhythmics have graced stages at major festivals and renowned venues across the United States and internationally, sharing bills with legendary artists while carving out a distinct space in the global funk and soul scene. Their music – equal parts danceable, thoughtful, and immersive – offers a rich listening experience that draws from the roots of American funk and soul while incorporating global influences.
As Polyrhythmics continue their journey, they remain committed to pushing boundaries, creating new grooves, and bringing their celebrated live energy to audiences around the world.
