    The comfort that Lage and his bandmates evince needs those small shakeups to keep from devolving into something pleasant but unengaging. The trio toes that line at times on this new release without completely falling into pure background fodder. It’s a delicate balance that only the best players could attain. Time will tell if they can maintain it.

    Lage switches to electric on Modern Lore, playing in a style that's acrobatic but never ostentatious as he mixes rangy jazz with early rock'n'roll. [Mar 2018, p.28]

    The music here is not only solid, but attractive and clever to boot.

    His distinctive approach, with its palpable rock and country elements is indebted more to Bill Frisell than Wes Montgomery.
