hands down, my favourite living musician. everything a musician should be: sonic philosopher, multi-dimensional sculptor, cosmic tour-guide, cultural frontiersman, divine ambassador.
I can’t help but feel like this is old wine on new skins somehow. Nothing new about the tones or sound. Not to say it is not interesting, they make an effort which is always interesting. Beautiful for sure, I like everything about it. Maybe I have just gone off music which is really terrible and a me-problem. I’m just not inspired 😑
This interview explains why Julian's jazz hits me harder than other guitarists, first song I learned was a country blues song (the Stones version of Love In Vain) and now I get why his jazz always has that bluesy twangy thing going on, this is basically what I'd play if I was capable. Just perfect.
Never seen him play before. This was good. Not to everyone’s taste perhaps but it’s always great to see young players at home with their instruments pushing the boundaries of music and enjoying themselves. Great stuff 👍🍷.
Just come back to this video. I’m a HUUUUUGE fan of Julian. There’s no one to touch him IMHO. Just wanted to say the performances here trans among the best examples of the breadth, sensitivity and dynamics of his playing;. there’s just about everything here.
I realize that I could just listen to spaces between the notes Julian plays, and it's a whole different song by itself happening at the same time. What an incredible treasure he is - bravo!
He couldn't sound more like himself and less like anyone else if he tried, Lage is completely unique. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about, please move on.
