Julian Lage Trio with Dave King and Jorge Roeder playing Ornette Coleman’s Tomorrow Is The Question

Live at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR 10/11/19

[@Cambodia69]

What I love most about Julian's playing is the sense that it's perpetually teetering on that fine line between disaster and triumph.

[@andreskosberg4566]

if anyone else tries to do the things he does, it'll sound like shit

[@khangenbamavanjit122]

I commend you on articulating it so well!

[@keithklassen5320]

And King is deeply-steeped in that same conceptual aesthetic as well, so they compliment each other perfectly.

[@obsoletecd-rom]

The way he brings it “back” is always sweeter because of it.

[@calbears12345]

@Andres well said

[@kendallburks]

Julian Lage is a man that can trusted with the power of insane virtuosity. The spirit of the music is never lost, and is only facilitated in its emergence by his total control of the instrument. Inspiring to witness.

[@briandennehy6380]

Nicely put

[@wrthomas]

I was at this show standing right next to Dave to his left. Watching him play is truly as interesting and magical as watching Julian play. Nothing like this trio anywhere.

[@sheercerebralpower]

this not good...this is mind boggling, adventurous,daring,lively,inventive,....well done well done well done......

[@gregarnold1696]

Julian plays with a joy that's refreshing he looks like he just unlocked the secret door 🎸

[@Minor7thb5]

Hands down Julian Lage has to be one of the most interesting and tasteful contemporary guitarist

[@jazzFABRYk]

Absolutely! But not to forget that tremedous Q&A of bass and drums after Julians intro!

[@Lanearndt]

It's almost never right to use the 'best' superlative but he truly is the best jazz guitarist alive! His vision, voice and technique are dialed way beyond anyone else right now!

[@JeremyFerry]

I could listen to Dave's high hat and snare all by themselves. So many different sounds out of those 2 tools. Amazing.

[@gabriellubowe3398]

Dave sounds like he's tap dancing in parts. magic

[@Larriex97]

Yes, the groove he plays gives that impression, sometimes

[@garygustin1717]

I was at this show. Mississippi is a great venue for bands and has good sound. Julian and band were inspiring, and made me want to practice guitar afterwards...

[@chrisandersen5635]

Imagine if Charlie Christian had heard Ornette. The possibilities.

[@andyokus5735]

Finally a video where I can hear every ax. Tighter than shit! That drummer is even throwing in some Ron Selico. Unreal!!!

[@jimhart1959]

His phrasing is awesome. And Dave King…wow. Jorge is so melodic.

[@huwvwilliams]

so much joy in the music!

[@jorgetenamusic]

Beasts!!! Loved it!!!!!

[@roblawsonmusic]

Amazing!

[@rocketpost1]

Three great musicians operating as a single unit. I love Julian's playing but today was mesmerised by Dave King's masterful drumming. Such complexity but so entertaining.

[@artofbrass]

Great music and sound...

[@mcrestwood7378]

great fun-great dialogue!!!!!!

[@leftystrat62]

That was so great!

[@georgesember9069]

[@vincentagro1370]

Yeah man. Straight dealing

[@intothecountry74]

Love that he plays on a tele

[@SelfHealingGod]

The Tele lives forever !

[@TheBassfresh]

that rhythm section!!!!

[@wjamyers]

indeed... it takes some serious virtuosity to add so much to a Julian Lage experience, my GOODness.

[@flotuc]

Yes!

[@kendallfrombensoniteproduc7113]

I was there!

[@misterree1443]

Allright don't rub it in.

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

So much beautiful, nuanced, subtle interaction here...✌🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤😄

[@teelurizzo8542]

Crazy good.

[@Carlos-uo3fk]

OMG!! my brain just exploded!!

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Jesus Christ I don't know how you all hung with each other like that, I was starting to feel bad for the bassist towards the end, but it was absolutely unwarranted. Totally pulled it off, wow.

[@nicolasmartos7062]

love hank shrader on the drums!!

[@frakognome4434]

Terrific swing

[@no59do56]

Bill Frisell and Julian new cd coming out September 16. 2022

[@nevilleattkins586]

Rock-a-bye billy goats sure 'nuff, ringa ding dong she sells sea hell's bells its all kinds of everything.

[@geoffcline9593]

Q: is there anything better than Dave King & Julian Lage? A: No, except when Jorge Roeder is around to join in.

[@MisterNiles]

Pretty great

[@TONIKOBLER]

Great guitar .artist

[@no59do56]

Great trio. 👍😊

[@cliffdelbridge6732]

Forget the guitar, it's Julian's way of hearing, he just hears so much, things I don't come close to hearing.

[@TheRockon11]

So goofy and fun haha

[@mathieucaminotto9999]

Le p90 sur la télé sonne foooort

[@josephtravers777]

Jazz guitar begs for a P-90 👍

[@federicopontani1735]

Great video, thanks! Do you have more of it?

[@joluijten6313]

For me its half past six in the morning . I dont need a cup of coffee!!

[@odaydrums]

cool having to adapt to BASS / Drum solo not easy but he does it!

[@hatephone]

Julian Large

[@themodularmodular]

I really don't get how jazz players' brains work, not to mention playing with other complicated fellows in a group.. so I'm just here watching with my mouth open, both amazed and confused

[@coma13794]

Yeah this would not be the place to start, you poor bugger.

[@wjamyers]

7:59 and leading up to it. 😲

[@Alanoffer]

Give the bass and drums some ,,,great job guys

[@philipjohansson6275]

[@juampsmusic]

[@ma.aI-]

Que pensaría. 8l-uotto con "un" tempo /ººº\_

[@elrodrisguitarlab6610]

At 00:20 sec correct me if im wrong Are you trying to sound like a sax? In my town if i play like you they would start insulting me just for that I would love to see you play in P.R infront of those people

[@christos7777]

I love Juluans playing, unique and very inspiring! Definitely both your typical regurgitated stuff... a little disappointed in the change of the front and pickup on the telly though... I like the original tone much better! 🙂

[@joshistyping]

This guy is who finally sold me on P90s, I'm not surprised he changed the neck pickup.

[@josephtravers777]

P-90 IS Jazz guitar

[@blerkh]

I don't know, Lage is an amazing talent with an adventurous spirit, but I always feel that taking on an Ornette tune should also honor Ornette's spirit and vision. (Same applies to Monk.) To me, this performance ends up sounding more traditional than Ornette did in the 50s/60s. Somehow I haven't found Lage's attempts at sounding avant-garde or whatever totally convincing. He seems to be of a split mind, where he hasn't reconciled a shredding over changes a-la-bebop approach with a desire for something wilder.

[@kestrelsandcrows6871]

What's the point of trying to sound like this or that? What happens here is simply great.

[@blerkh]

@@kestrelsandcrows6871 And what makes it "great"?

[@kestrelsandcrows6871]

@@blerkh I won't say this or that. When I watch and listen, it is obviously great what the three are doing together.

[@kestrelsandcrows6871]

@@blerkh ... Ornette Coleman emphasized that music is communication. The three are exactly doing this, they communicate. In that sense, what they do is very much in the spirit of Ornette Coleman.

[@benshone7703]

Ornette himself wanted his music to be free of pigeonholing and yet here u are saying this has to be a certain way. The idea is all that matters and what's portrayed here is just great, traditional or not 🤔

[@Jack458111]

It sounds like Julian never really plucks the string hard enough 🤷‍♂️

[@DaveyReynolds]

he’s just really dynamic and not afraid to play quiet tbh. but he’s also said that he used to always pluck super hard as a kid and had to work to correct that.

[@murattaner7384]

An hollowbody for the guitarist calf skins for the drummer gut stings for bass player then maybe....but no the guys are not good enough for an Ornette song

[@keithklassen5320]

Yeah and they should all have polio and crippling gambling addictions just like Grampa.

[@kestrelsandcrows6871]

That's right, Ornette has always taught us to like only what we expect and to reject everything that contradicts our expectations.
