As Julian Lage releases a new album this week, it’s easy to forget that he was once heralded as a child prodigy—immortalized in the 1996 short documentary Jules at Eight, which captured his astonishing guitar command before he’d even reached double digits.
Just a year later, at age nine, Lage took the stage with Carlos Santana at Concord Pavilion to perform “Maggot Brain.” Watch at Lage and Santana trade solos on the Funkadelic classic.
