I talked to the sound engineer of this concert, he was amazed of how they sounded together, he only put 1 microphone in front of the band to record them and this is how they sounded
Its is a bit like listening to Jeff Buckley on beautiful psychedelic jazz steroids I have never heard anyone play guitar like Julian Lage before I’ve only just discovered him but the more I listen the more I’m utterly mesmerised by the unending cascade of musical genius and oh so lovely sonic surprises. I think this guy is a one in a zillion, he will be one of the greats that musicians of the future look back on in years to come & say, yep this person redefined guitar music. Imo.
I want to talk about the precision and accuracy it takes to play a song on guitar this low, no distortion. The bends, the holds, the softness, is truly insane and respectable
Man Julian, has totally cut his teeth in the trade and he's such a hard worker, you can see it in performances like, this, I can't imagine how much mental energy it must take to perform like this night after night. Well done to him and the others, loved the bass solo, really reminded me of Mingus
The people who get where he is tend to really like it a lot, and be really talented. A much less offensive version of the sales guy who just can't resist trying to get the next sale, so they never get off of their gimmick. Long story short, I don't think he's drained - I think he likes it.
David W But, well I saw a concert of his trio one year ago and it was the second he did that day. I can’t understand how anyone can play soooo many concerts and have the fire, the tenderness, the creativity etc to do that. But then again, he’s in his own league so what seems like a lifetime achievement for me may feel like a row of nice songs to him... and certainly when you play things that you really enjoy, there’s some kind of energy feedback that comforts and refills your soul, at least to an extent. It’s something I’ve experimented just a few times, I’d love to know that better
Wow! The space he leaves in the mix is amazing. That is how I want to play. And the innovation, too, unusual modulation and intentional dissonance. Very dynamic and unique. No offense to shredders but this to me is more impressive and interesting guitar work
100% I think anyone can run through a pentatonic scale with heavy distortion on and make it sound like something, but it is FAR MORE difficult to play clean and expressive in a way that every detail is able to be heard. It sounds like a journey and not a run through scales, and that takes talent and experience.
And yet his music (to me at least) sounds very accessible and melodic. First heard him during a live show. His drummer had fallen ill during the day, so just him and the bass. You couldn't tell anything was missing or unforeseen.
Taking time with every note in every measure, beautifully articulate and heartfelt. This is why music especially made by masters like Julian and his band are essential in this crazy fast paced life, just as a reminder that there’s more to living that everything all the time,. The best things shouldn’t be rushed.
I'm sorry... I am sorry... I like and appreciate this so much more than Some virtuoso like satriani or vai or any of those... This is true Soulflow and artwork to me. You can feel passion. Devotion Realness. And still manage to be very talented. Original. Romantic and refreshing. And have fun with it. Julian. I have never been a fan of anyone through youtube before. Like you got me. So gentle and genuine. Smooth. Cool and Collected. 😉 Awesome and still funny. You outflow with Love and transparency for ur instrument through ur playing Great job at staying as pure as you can One with your music. Great job man. Keep Lovin what you do. Blessings man. Abundantly.
John Lanteigne I would call Julian Lage a virtuoso. It’s not about playing fast, although he can play reasonably fast indeed. But his dynamics, his chord work... From the technical side alone, this is difficult to get to.
In this day and age it's hard trying to get someone to focus on a video longer than 10 seconds, let alone 8 minutes, but Julian is a wizard on a different level, on a different planet, in a different universe.
Wow! Every time I watch this guy I’m in awe of his technique and use of space between notes…..not forgetting the superb bass and drums complementing his playing perfectly 👍🍷
Here's a man that knows and truly loves his craft, you can see that he enjoys every moment and every surprise turn he presents. Where the Hell did that 8 minutes go, I'll have to start over. Wonderful playing!
I love this line up. If you said to Kenny Wollessen, give me a nimbocumulus cloud on an autumn Sunday with a north westerly wind, he would be able to perform it. What a drummer. What a trio.
Beautiful music. And I must also say, speaking as a professional film editor, this video is particularly well covered in terms of camera angles and unusually well edited[.
OMG it sounds so tasty!... Julian makes it so relaxed, mindful and gently.... Amazing! The bassist and the drummer are also great players, they understand each other just perfect. Thanks sooooooooooo much for the music
Julian is outstanding, no question, but Scott and Kenny make the performance perfect. They play absolutley tasteful, that every tone from Julian have time to breath.
What an absolute madlad. Such a beautiful composition and each performance he does of it has its own flavor. The chemistry of the trio is on point, too.
"Ryland" as in "Ryland Peter Cooder"? Amazing playing. Julian Lage is fast making his way to the top of my personal "heap". A true musician's musician and perhaps the Keith Jarrett of the guitar in the making.... the perfect touch and stunning musical intelligence. Simply wonderful! Great to see it all done on a tele - in the tradition of Ted Greene and Ed Bickert - not to mention Dany Gatton.
Anyone else hear shades of Roy Orbison's "Crying"? Just a little bit? Maybe on a subliminal level? Can't be just me. Love Lage to death, not trying to be fussy as this is one of his best and one of my favs. I just hear it every time. Sorta? "I was alright for a while I could smile for awhile But I saw you last night You held my hand so tight As you STOPPED... to say hello. Aww you wished me well You couldn't tell that I'd been crying over you"
Un jeu de guitare tout en subtilité .Une manière unique et novatrice d'aborder le Jazz, avec en plus ,une section rythmique d'une grande finesse .Superbe.
I’m afraid my laughter would interrupt the moment. Some stuff is so unexpected and so great. It makes me laugh. Its always beautiful. Maybe it’s the cleverness that illicits the laughter.
Same. I saw him live recently and I couldn’t keep from laughing at times. Not out of disrespect, it was the sheer insanity of “where the hell did that come from?” Type moments. And his playing can be quite humorous at times as well.
@@phish1 Haha! This may have been me for all I know. But listen to the guy start laughing during the count off. I deem it appropriate. It was a clever moment. It feels good. th-cam.com/video/9XyS1bmSs8I/w-d-xo.html
Julian has certainly found his own voice on the guitar and his style is like no-one I've ever heard before. I thought this piece had echos of Gershwin which is no bad thing. Great stuff.
juluan lage sempre foi um excelente instrumentista, mas nesse ano 2016 ele deixou de ser apenas um otimo guitarrista e está se tornando um grande artista. que performance foi essa? excelente. sem falar numa música bastante minimalista e livre. julian lage vai virar icone da guitarra, pode escrever o que estou falando.
I have one and I was just about to sell it (moving). I know it’s just a back line amp, but your comment and seeing him work this modest amp is making me rethink the sale lol
Who wants to bring a Twin (or his Tweed Harvard) on an overseas tour? Then you have the power conversion to worry about, and different plugs in different countries, and baggage handlers.... You play with what they give you, and when you're a pro, it will sound like you, no matter what (mostly). And when you're Julian, well....red knob Euro Fender or not, this is one of my favorite JL performances.
Well, he's no Jerry Garcia.... (Snork, snork). He is seemingly absolutely fearless - WHY oh WHY doesn't he hit lots and lots of clams? This is kinda awful recording, on other clips you can hear him much better. He has no problem putting any number of notes into any number of beats. He's GOT to have some kind of _conception of rhythm_ to play that free and still make it back to home base, but I wouldn't be surprised if even he can't explain it fully. If it takes 10,000 hours to master something, he must be rounding 30,000 or so already. His daddy was a "tele dude" and Julian got his first (cardboard) tele when he was like 5 or something. It's _just not fair._ Waah. Mommy....

BRILLIANT ANALOGY!
he truly is one of a kind. imo he already is an all time great
well said
And that is... *checks notes* spot on. The dynamics and choices are not something I've heard from anyone else. Once in a lifetime talent.
I’ve never had jazz convey and make me feel emotion like Mr. Lage’s playing.
You should listen to pat martino you probably feel became way
@@chrisbatson3402 pat martino and julian lage are total different....imo... julian is a little bit nearer by my heart and soul ;-)
@@michaelvogt-gitarre9096 yes of course they are different in feel etc..
I want to talk about the precision and accuracy it takes to play a song on guitar this low, no distortion. The bends, the holds, the softness, is truly insane and respectable
It's unclear why more ppl aren't talking about it. I can barely play guitar and even I know that what he is doing is uncommon to say the least.

So clean live sounds like a record
I remember hearing Julian perform around Sonoma County as a teen, perhaps 14 years old...see he has moved from prodigy to genius musician!
I dig the stage design. (And I can't stop replaying his music!)
It should be illegal to make music so beautiful. Each of those bends stole bit of my soul and twisted my heart
I've been watching this video for years, and 4:08 still kills me.
imagine living and missing this ?? pure clas
Love that he’s playing through a red knob Fender.
amazing solid states amps btw
He used all of that guitar - love all the high highs and low lows!
Well he bought a whole guitar, he's going to use the whole guitar! :D
@@joetraw2110 That's a solid point, sir!
Incredible how they dompt the silence and time. Beautiful 👏

He is definitely a virtuoso and a mega creative musician, check out his work on TH-cam, if in doubt.
It is his time...no reason to hate on Satch. His time was back in the 80s and 90s...I think Joe is ok with that.
John Lanteigne yes, you are right, absolut. Music from the heart, from the soul. In this case, music can breathe and each tone have time to develop.
If he want, he play fast too. I prefer his style
I mean to hear a very special version of Ry Cooder 's "Maria Elena". Even the original is absolutly beautiful, this is far over the top
In this day and age it's hard trying to get someone to focus on a video longer than 10 seconds, let alone 8 minutes, but Julian is a wizard on a different level, on a different planet, in a different universe.
ADHD ! ! !
Wow! Every time I watch this guy I’m in awe of his technique and use of space between notes…..not forgetting the superb bass and drums complementing his playing perfectly 👍🍷
Julian answers what, when, where, and why in every phrase he plays.
There are less than a hand's count of living guitarists that can touch this level.
Here's a man that knows and truly loves his craft, you can see that he enjoys every moment and every surprise turn he presents. Where the Hell did that 8 minutes go, I'll have to start over. Wonderful playing!
Dude, this guy just doesn't exist. How great is that!
a stunning performance . wow , we are so lucky.
My favourite guitarist
How the hell haven’t I seen this guy before???... what a guitarist👌
I love this line up. If you said to Kenny Wollessen, give me a nimbocumulus cloud on an autumn Sunday with a north westerly wind, he would be able to perform it. What a drummer. What a trio.

Wow, what a great performance! So much energy and such tasteful peace of music!
Thank you Julian. It's a new dimension to hear the feelings of every quiet and loud sounds. You play in another universe...
Bill Frisell in a New Age, Julian is a real treasure to jazz guitar field.
oh this is my monday after work sound, for sure. so laid back and relaxed. Julian is a beast.
Doing exact the same now. Cheers from Brazil
Just discovered Joscho Stephan and this guy and love them both. Incredible musicians!
doesn't get better than this, a beautiful honest bluesy piece of art
so great...Frisellesque...! such a moving performance.
can never get enough of this genius. Especially love Ryland and his dolo version us special!!! .
I'm happy I came across this most pleasant performance.
Delicate and powerful and MAGICAL.
Love you.
Julian is outstanding, no question, but Scott and Kenny make the performance perfect. They play absolutley tasteful, that every tone from Julian have time to breath.
What an absolute madlad. Such a beautiful composition and each performance he does of it has its own flavor. The chemistry of the trio is on point, too.
I feel a lot of Bill Frisell...Maybe a drop of Jeff Beck...Very good that this style of expression on the guitar has a worthy heir.
what a trio. Just cool

Vic Snix Frisell too, especially in a piece like this
I was wondering, as well, if the tune was a nod to Ry Cooder.

Awesome performance. This is also basically a slow "On The Sunny Side Of The Street", no matter how they call it.
Julian has certainly found his own voice on the guitar and his style is like no-one I've ever heard before. I thought this piece had echos of Gershwin which is no bad thing. Great stuff.

This performance is so expressive! Great stuff!
God bless you all...
Telecaster fit this guy so much, great mastery !
Olha o carinho com que trata a pequena.
6:30 -> oooh
Roy Buchanan never got to smile that much in this life time. You can bet your sweet ass he is right now. Rack em'.
God!
Good thing I wasn't in that audience... I would have been losing my shit!
P.s god bass player and drummer to boot!
How close can you come to perfection
The young Abe Lincoln and his rocking teenage combo!
great great playing. A lot of space indeed
(Didn't remember 6 years-me commenting this video..!)
하... 찾았다!!! 😮😢❤
He’s only in his early twenties what is in the tank for the future . ??

comentário certeiro!
Check out how far away the mic is from the amp, same with the drum kit, they've really gone for a "room" sound
Hey, does anybody know if that's an Eighty Five amp he's playing through? Maybe a Deluxe 85?
Making the most of that The Twin: ))!
I have one and I was just about to sell it (moving). I know it’s just a back line amp, but your comment and seeing him work this modest amp is making me rethink the sale lol
Dwight lost his hair since The Office ended, but still great drumming here.
It’s Kenny Wollesen.
I wonder if Julian enjoyed playing through that particular fender hehe
I was thinking maybe there was an issue with mix, since the guitar sounded so much thinner... And then I saw the amp...
Scrolled down just to see if anyone mentioned this, lol
why wouldn't he?
Red knob Fenders are usually considered their worst!

And when you're Julian, well....red knob Euro Fender or not, this is one of my favorite JL performances.
Anyone have a guess for why he has the piece of pink tape above the volume knob? Maybe to remind him of where it is (ha ha)?
if this is a genuine question, it is to keep track of where he wants his volume to be at during a particular part of his performance
@@flick8583 It was a genuine question. Do you think he also marks the knob, then? He'd have to.
Bruce Elliott both knobs have a mark on it. Most people dime it so it isn’t an issue
@@flick8583 Hm - mine don't. I just use my ears to make adjustments, which is what I would have expected someone like Julian L. to do.
@@BruceElliott they absolutely have a hole in the side of them as an indicator.
What are this blue brushes Kenny uses? Anyone know?
Julian Lage is the Abe Lincoln of guitar.
Purè ieri s'era! Lesch! K...
Hey, that’s my name
this guy is way better than me
thats the truth my friend.
Anyone know the title of the first song they play?
Lage's "Apple Tree"
That's what Ryland is called since Aoife O'Donovan puts words to Ryland!
restraint? you bet
Best comment!
Great , rests plays too
3:16 - 3:28 WTH just happened? 🤯😭
잘적어놓은 시한편 읽은 기분~
8 minutes of ethernity
