Published 2022-10-05
The last three albums from Lage and his trio with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King, span the time just before the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent return to concerts without masks. Love Hurts showed a trio getting to know each other, Squint found a trio struggling to create through health restrictions. The brand-new album View with a Room, their sophomore effort for Blue Note Records, comes from a well-honed unit. It also adds a very special guest.

There really is no one else like Julian on this planet.
-
The casual 'hmm what incredible thing shall i do next' chin-scratch at 1:57 made me laugh. Such mastery over the instrument.
-
4:46 the way he casually puts the string back after ripping it out of place from the bridge!
-
The most incredible thing about Julian is that on the contrary of other guitarists, we can see that he's not focused on the technical aspect of his playing but he's focus on how joyful it is for him to play! And that's maybe why he's so damn good at playing music :)
-
It’s hard to go back to listening to regular guitarist after listening to Julian
-
I like his playing immensely more solo. It’s beautiful without the distraction of other instruments. I wish more people would explore how beautiful the electric guitar can be.
-
His note control and use of dynamics is masterful. Incredible playing as always.
-
His playing is so much more intense when you can see exactly what his hands are doing. Holy smokes.
-
cant believe this dropped out of nowhere
-
I'm in awe everytime I see him play, love his sound and timing. My fav jazz guitarist. I sometimes wish I had listened more jazz guitarists because I find it such an interesting genre, but I always struggled to stick with others and found it hard to fully get into jazz guitar music. I only enjoyed short burst of jazz. Finding, Julian was a revelation, a lucky find, I can listen to him play and listen again and love it each time, usually more than the last time! Thank you Julian 😊
-
he freely improvises and plays chords that other people haven’t even thought of yet
-
I was trying to timstamp a beautiful area of this, but I didn't, because it didn't make sense to timestamp it, because I couldn't find where the beautiful moment started, nor ended
-
aaaaa the dynamics, julian has like 10.000 different volume levels, is absurd. So good
-
That Day and Age piece. Oh wow. That was an outstanding experience.
-
ok, he has already become my favorite guitarist ever, it has been a brutal duel this last years, but i just have to accept it. He is the friking Goat in my list because apart from the insane ability i just enjoy his music, i enjoy listening to his albums immensely.
-
He's probably my favorite musician these days. His music and playing always takes me on a journey of delight and wonder. Every time I hear him play, there is always something I've not heard before. What an incredible talent. Thanks for blessing us with your music, Julian. Much love.
-
It's an otherworldly experience hearing Julian play solo... Here is this generation's Wes Montgomery or Django Reinhardt or Charlie Christian...
-
The man is other-worldly and spreads joy through his fingers. They had Da Vinci in the 1400’s, today we have Julian.
-
And I thought he was incredible 10 years ago! Absolutlely MONSTER PLAYING....but still beautifully musical and soulful. Really incredible. Thank You Julian😁

Julian is one of those rare people who seems completely at ease with everything he does, and one of those rare artists who so completely embodies and embraces his being as a musician that the music becomes him. Literally this just Julian and his guitar letting us in on one hell of a conversation, while still remaining completely accessible to even non- hardcore jazz heads. (Of this generation only Jon Batiste comes to mind as having this gift.)
