Martin Taylor and Julian Lage - "Some Day My Prince Will Come"

Julian- Plays something good Martin- Plays something good *They look into each others souls and giggle like little school boys* These dudes just transported themselves into a dimension which all the youtubers dream of.

[@theoriginaljimmyd3651]

Agreed. Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel playing Honeysuckle Rose - same thing. Like a couple kids playing that long slow bend - Django lick. Martin is reserved, Tommy is a spaz. It totally works. Similar vibe here.

[@bruhdamartinasty3636]

Only if the other player was Beyonce or Kate Upton.

[@JorgePerez-th4zq]

Yes!

[@tomarikawa]

Amen

[@donsimons9810]

speak for yourself. I play on this level. Many do. Don’t try to put all of us down because you can’t!

Nice one!

It's like if a pianist was named Steinway Yamaha.

@@exerciserelax8719 Actually it was their orignal sales slogan. "Yamaha. Built The Stein Way." =)

[@marciamakesmusic]

This video is some of the hardest proof I've ever seen that music is a language. These two are literally talking back and forth to each other with guitars. If anyone liked this video and hasn't seen Julian Lage live I would highly recommend seeing him. The whole show is so full of this same kind of playful energy between he and the people he is playing with.

[@victorjcano]

ALTHOUGH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STYLE OF MUSIC Yamandu Costa AND Elodie Bouny ARE TWO OF MY VERY FAVORITES: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV7RoHSNm7ujpcU

[@cashglobe]

Dude Julian Lage’s solo is pure MASTERY! it has everything. It’s from a place of pure joy and love for the music, with the addition of perfect time, harmony, concept, idea building, melody, rhythm, everything! Ugh!! I bow to you sir 🙇

[@alelaera13]

This performance is truly outstanding. Most guitarists could not write as good as these two are improvising.

[@zacharyariasmusic]

I love how much joy Julian gets from the music. Truly inspiring

[@shnootch]

yeah, what a spirit. in love with that...

[@rubenrojas6064]

This is one of the best things on the internet

[@aadityakiran_s]

First time I saw this, I wasn't really impressed but 5 years later, I think this is probably one of the best spontaneous musical performances I have ever seen. A masterclass in fluidity, subtlety and nuance. I hope maybe 5 years from now, I will be able to play like this by rote and 10-20 years after that, maybe improvise along these lines as well.

[@sullyb23511]

I love it when Martin says, "Play some more."

I come back to this video like every 3 months.

[@rubenrojas6064]

I’ve been playing for most of my life and this is still the best recording I have ever heard. I come back to it at least twice a year and it inspires me and makes me feel a deep awe and appreciation for the instrument we all love and for these legendary musicians.

[@willsketchesmusic]

The stuff Julian comes up with really elevates him from so many other great players. His melodic lines are just soo good.

[@timetherton5620]

i have never seen someone play with such tremendous mastery yet he is constantly taking chamces and is seemingly as amazed by what he is able to do as we are

[@FenceThis]

@@timetherton5620 JL isn’t hardly taking any chances as every molecule in his brains and hands is completely prepared on everything possible on 10 levels but he tries to surprise himself just for the giggles which is just as admirable

[@AdrianWhyte]

Both great players- there's so much hype about Julian lage and he lives up to it, but people don't listen with their ears. This is not a situation where Martin taylor is lucky to be playing with Julian or where either player should be intimidated by the other, Martin Taylor is a monster player but both these guys are playing musically, not just technically and athletically. If you think Martin Taylor is the b side here go and do you research! BOTH awesome players, period!!!

[@travelingman9763]

Julian has perfect pitch and Martin doesn't...that's the only difference which drives some of what they play. SOME is key!

[@dalibins]

Julian doesn't have perfect pitch...he said so himself.

[@blacjazzz]

This is just two masters being masterful. No other way to describe it.

[@bf2err]

@@travelingman9763 haha. That's gold

[@davidscott1052]

If anybody thinks Martin is the b side ....they are not and never will be musicians...real music is not like that !!!!!!!

[@JorgePerez-th4zq]

My God, this is what real music is. Anyone notice how they complemented each other so well? It just melted together beautifully. No words needed.

[@todayisit3]

Just found Julian. I don't have the words. How can there not be millions of viewers and likes? No show. No egos. I am stunned and thrilled to have discovered these amazing artists and music.

[@markkubiak8296]

Me too. He's wonderful!

[@foxybrown2]

Martin Taylor smashes on this To me he is One if not the Greatest Chord Melody player to me. And his instructional videos are superb.

[@musamor75]

I'm not a guitarist, but I'm damned happy I landed on this channel. I came across Martin, sound-wise- through a record of French music with the late Marcel Azzolla. I'm sure Martin remembers this album. The French "Valse swingue" or "Valse Musette" are a different, but very rich, approach to that rare bird in Jazz- the WALTZ. It's been a joy to discover this young talent, Julian Lage. Thank you for posting.

[@ekoc92]

Can't stop smiling!

[@djandersonny]

Pure Joy! Julian is so at ease, so playful, with this tune. No wonder, it’s the 1st song he played with Martin Taylor. When he was 10 or 11, “I’m a big Bill Evans fan”!!!

[@rockplay100]

Seeing them like this makes me realise that music is the greatest tool for sharing happiness.

[@STIKFIGUR3]

Julian is such a humble guy for how talented he is, and Martin is a wonderful and warm host with great chops of his own

[@xebio6]

Goosebumps. I love great musicians who smile as they play. What a treat

[@Straightfromshibuya]

This rendition to me sounds more of old friends reminiscing. Speaking about memories and what the future may hold.

[@DevGurung]

The moment and voicing at 3:41 is honestly so pure, fantastic.

[@shabaazranney1418]

A while back, I saw Julian live with Chris Eldridge. It was one of the best concerts that I've ever been to... just beautiful.

[@rlkguitar]

it was a very good idea to put Julian to play with Martin!

[@godfreyfrancesco5419]

So much joy in their playing :')

[@seanmurphy.]

The way Julian watches Martin play in awe, then plays something over the top, equally as awe inspiring...

[@johnhendricks8140]

This some great melodic playing great chord comping, this is jazz heaven. Martin Taylor and Julian Lage are masters.

[@Muddleface]

Words fail. The most beautiful improvising I think I have ever heard.

[@alexwr]

Martin Taylor was born to be a great acoustic player with a name like that...

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

mesmerizing intervallic mastery stupendously deep and intimate vocal lines and spellbinding harmonies - stunning

[@prophetestimate]

I’ve always found a strong combination with talent and being humble. It’s a very common occurrence. This is an example of that thought.

Well that was just the most lovely thing! Gosh I'm so pleased to see someone like Julian with his heart right smack on his sleeve, and looks like he's not losing that with either age or success. Very inspiring.

[@simonfivez2947]

Amazing...Wow!! Had this experience once with my teacher during a concert; all of a sudden playing a counter-point solo against each other which just... worked! Amazing experience. But ofcourse, it was not even close to the level that these two are on

This kind of talent does not occur to you often and when it does in a painting you have a Masterpiece! Clearly, Julian also has a beautiful perspective on life.

[@al_freud_jazz_guitar]

OMG! Here we are far beyond music... those two geniuses are simply creating a dream...

[@jazzman1954]

Once you get over the solos then listen again to the comping underneath. Just as brilliant. Astonishing. Probably the finest moment in jazz guitar history in my opinion.

[@KINGtheK]

Well at least the 23 idiots to thumbs down this wonderful playing are each outnumbered by over a hundred people whose taste isn't solely in their mouth. I'd not heard of Julian Lage before, and, WOW! Martin Taylor I've enjoyed for years, and the combination of the two is fantastic. The way they start the tune together is so gorgeous and the interplay is really cool. Thank you for this!

[@christophflock1921]

This is an absolute masterpiece omg

[@c0nk2879]

There's nothing better than playing with another guitarist that truly respects and understands the nature of the instrument and all the capacities of the many roles it can fulfill... I've done it with my teachers and mentors who have helped me to build these understandings and these times have taught me invaluable lessons of being sensitive to what the other is playing at all times, and these are two masters of the art of playing this beautiful instrument that we all love, and a video like this could serve as a master class in jazz guitar duet. Wonderful!

[@scaredypicker]

I find it hard to get into Jazz as a genre, but playing like this helps me appreciate it more

[@scooter661133]

How do find it hard?

[@scaredypicker]

I guess it's just because it's so different from other music I listen to. I find it less accessible, but I'd like to listen to more and develop an ear for it, particularly after listening to musicians like these guys.

[@Guitfiddlejase]

jazz is a form that does indeed take time...but if you take the time yourself(..and indeed you are already on your way with your appreciation of these two wonderful players!) you will find that all of a sudden out of nowhere you are not only appreciating it more,but you have become a fan! A very exciting discovery in music...! best

[@jazzerson7087]

Completely agree. Unlike blues/rock you can't fake jazz. The level of harmonic understand comes with many years of *HARD** study and practice, and a deep familiarly with soloing over certain chords and standards. As Bill Evans says it takes years to "develop the facility to play jazz" so you don't have to think about theory. I've been trying to learn jazz for a few years now and when I see this level of playing it is upsetting haha, particularly when you learn that Julian could play this tune at 10 LOL.

[@Guitfiddlejase]

James Anderson what a great reply! I couldn't agree more with what you have said here.. I have been playing longer than I would care to admit. I have been playing jazz for more years than many..and I'll tell ya'..EVERYTHING you have said I can personally attest to.. Bill Evans was more right than we know..and yet Julian Lage shows up and "just lays waste to the place like...!" Humbled to say the least.. He's just a kid!! and his mind..his INVENTION in improvisation is out of control.. I wonder what Bill Evans would have thought of him..or Scott Lefaro for that matter!!

[@oneheart7562]

Two hearts beating as one. Oh, joy!

[@THEXBOXSHOT]

Every time I manage to figure out a part of what Juilian does in his improv I instantly smile because I understand how well thought and gentel that part is

[@terryg3006]

These two are so humble and genuine when talking to others. But when they hit the notes, man, they instantly became monsters.

[@DanielVerberne]

Wow. I can only look on (and listen, of course!) with awe and amazement ... and envy ... at what these two individuals are capable of doing on their instrument. I can almost imagine their musical minds turning over as they play, a lifetime of experience and deeply-ingrained theoretical knowledge melding until they are seemingly able to explore the musical options as one might choose a path through a forest.

[@ericsearcy8939]

You physically hear Jullian breathe through each idea! Only genius level musicians connect that way!

[@rl2905]

Anyone going to talk about that crazy intuitive counterpoint that happened at 5:20?

[@albertoanaut]
