June Lee Interview

[@jbrowsingj]

Once you at 6:26 Blackbird at 21:52 (secret bonus at 16:27)

[@vinh_em]

Did June Lee just show up at your house? Without any prior knowledge? Are we all in danger of this happening to us as well?

[@martinpaddle]

I should get a better piano, just in case...

[@danielmontealegre7604]

i hope so

[@EchoHeo]

what do you mean danger

[@alistaircornacchio5727]

lmao

[@BlackWhiteCloud]

LOL I'd love for that to happen to me.

[@peterteaches]

June, yeah I think a lot of us out there would like to hear you singing and playing piano, it's very unique when you do. Loved the rare videos where you do.

[@JuneLee]

thanks Peter :)

[@arthurcordeiro5285]

I totally agree!

[@2oot]

During the'Blackbird' improv I didn't realize I was holding my breath until they stopped. Wow, real humble talent, what a blessing.

[@Bhuyakasha]

25:10, Aimee tries to give the last note to June Lee, then 25:18 June Lee gives it right back :)

[@albertclangence1342]

I'm a 67 year old jazz arranger. The future of jazz is safe! Really touched me, thanks. :-)

[@david.brackett]

What June said near the beginning of the video about not really knowing if he knew enough about jazz when he first started really inspired me. I've been listening to and researching jazz for several years now, but I haven't quite dived in yet because I'm afraid I won't be good or I won't know what to do. But this, this really gives me the courage to try because I know I'm not alone and my fears and doubts shouldn't let me get in the way of myself.

[@StompL7]

I feel like i really know what you're saying, were all in this together !

[@SadisticKillerXx]

Are you into jazz now?

[@TheophileCastel]

And now? :)

[@GHRiz]

Can I get a 10 hour Aimee + June duet concert video please?! Thanks! Seriously though, two of my absolute favorite youtube music people together in one video? Brilliant. Loved this interview. We've come full circle, and now June is the interviewee!

[@MusixPro4u]

6:26 is worth being clipped and being posted separately. Absolutely beautiful.

[@MusixPro4u]

21:52 blackbird (for self-reference)

[@danielmontealegre7604]

June Lee's voice literally makes me melt

[@yomega69]

That section from 19:05 on is amazing. I have "perfect" pitch but damn that is just insane processing of his brain. "Real-time transcription" indeed! I feel like you have to know music, theory, jazz so well to be able to do that.

[@theaddictofgaming9174]

Aimee Nolte and June Lee in the same house? What is this, a crossover episode?

[@PsychedelicSocialist]

My favorite anime crossover

[@moonootoo]

We need a transcription of the piano comp for this cover of "Once You" asap.......

[@BlackWhiteCloud]

As long as he doesn't fight with the mailman

[@VeritasGames]

8:14 all the chills were had

[@88keyes]

There is just too much talent in that room. You two should make an album.

[@abelstypewriters]

Love the humility. If that's something you can love about talented musicians.

[@chester6343]

How humble he is, June you're excellent, you could write your own music man

[@LofiWurld]

8:48 June’s voice 😳 he sings!

[@danielhadida3915]

WTF ?! June sings wonderfully !

[@mickehaglund4119]

Wow what a gift June has, perfect pitch is pretty awesome especially when you played him some brecker was cool how he heard chords moving. Im amazed!

[@jeeenah1]

The level of talent sitting behind those keys is unbelievable. Both of you are *beyond* talented, and both of you have a gift. Some people are more blessed than others, aside from practicing and learning; some just have it and you guys do. Aimee You know I’m a huge fan, and I’m a huge fan of June Lee as well now. Thank you for sharing him with us, thank you for all you do and all that you share. You’re an inspiration. That Jacob Collier tune pierced my soul and made me cry. It was so (for lack of a word that doesn’t exist) beautiful. Just wow. Wish my dad was alive to share this stuff with. The talent here is just sick!!!!!!!!!!! Loved this!

[@lagathy]

Gosh.....what a rare find/gem this is....absolutely beautiful :)

[@bluenote5262]

Hmmm... Amazing grace. When beautiful minds connect miracle happen. Thank you both for that lpiece of musical paradise. We want more.

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Gobsmacked! Thank you. Best wishes.

[@Keefralei]

You two should absolutely do an album together. Not too fussily arranged. Loved the fresh impro jazz vibe on blackbird. Two too cool for school guys. That was sublime. I’m smiling and warm inside. I can imagine you both, grand piano and mike each, with a hot but sensitive rhythm section all creating spontaneous joy. Heaven, I’m in heaven etc could be one number (Cheek to Cheek of course). Only great melodies need apply! Thanks Aimee & June

[@jansestak954]

God damn, that was the most awesome breathtaking version of the Blackbird that I ever heard. Thank you for that

[@RobinRepairs]

Thanks Aime for introducing me to someone new to follow. Can’t wait to see what he does with that amazing talent. Such a nice guy too.

[@BMarPiano]

Now that I’m home I can type more :-) I listened to this driving home and it was a healing balm for me. Such incredibly beauty from two exquisite musicians. Thank you. Thanks to you, Aimee, I now have another musician to follow. ❤️

[@enkiitu]

I didn’t know June sang!!! Excellent news!!!

[@cherylsibson8457]

Yeah, Aimee, the two of you could do an album together, great interview, thanks for sending.

[@NavyGatorMyEye]

Thank you Aimee - Thank you June Lee. So beautiful and inspired! Jacob is such a gift and I really love the way you two pull Once You apart and slowly explore it - I could listen to this all day any day. Blackbird too - just wow.

[@sbingham1979]

Can I just say that you two musicians inspire love? That is what I am feeling while watching & listening to this.

[@sbingham1979]

Went to listen to this song at the prompting of this interview -- I am kind of blown away; first by Jacob C. and now by Aimee and June Lee playing/singing it. What a gorgeous song.

[@1950francesca]

What an absolutely exquisite duet on Blackbird....the two of you added such dimension and color to the tune. Appreciate it in a whole new way now. Thanks!

[@julianho4774]

great duo.................................

[@alanhirayama4592]

Blackbird was SO awesome! Looking forward to more collabs from Aimee and June!

[@gigicantina6534]

how wonderfully talented musicians both are…. and Jacob is from another musical planet. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@chriswright2553]

Once You already sounds like a jazz standard to me. Especially your interpretation. 👏👏👏

[@kokioga6291]

June we need more of you!!

[@crazypianistshe]

Wow, what a beautiful duet. Your voices sounded so warm. Plus June played just out of thie earth! :))))

[@stasssecond91]

guys, i love you...:)) June is genuis!

[@matthieuchapeau]

Thank you for this timeframe🙏🏽 wow

[@geoffstockton]

Aimee, that was some enchanting. I so hope to hear more singing from June also. He sounds so nice singing solo. This is my first time hearing that. I've always heard the multi-tracked June previously.

[@Mezilesialan]

Oh yes. We enjoyed that ! A revelation . Two superb musicians creating beauty . Thank you.

[@VirtuousPraiseworthy]

How I never knew about your channel until two weeks ago I don't know! You've taken Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz to a whole new level! Would be hard to describe how much inspiration and happiness your channel provides. You're a master teacher and I don't have enough hours a day to catch up on the years of videos I've missed. Thanks, Aimee.

[@rachelsmename6]

Aimee, I love it when you bring interesting guests to your channel! June Lee has so many talents...great singing voice, piano player and perfect pitch! You guys sang great together too. I'm watching it again like a good movie lol

[@leomedina7901]

There are people who make TV shows about music all over the world. This is great .. Do not ever stop doing it.

[@davidfleuchaus]

22:47 piano line then June’s vocal line. Excellent. Then the upper register piano solo is fresh. Oo, chromatic then the mid register lines.

[@bmoremike]

So nice! Great interview and lovely playing. For some reason, the improv around 23:40 reminded me of Gershwin

[@plumbawl5977]

There was something so warm like Marian McParthland about this video interview with June Lee, through duo talented musical interactions and inspiring collaborations, Aimee!

[@sabina1358]

The interview was really fun to listen to, but to hear you both play and sing... wow... that was something! Thanks!

[@alansenzaki4148]

Watched this again. What a treat. Wonderful improv on blackbird!!

[@michelcamachomusic]

This is gold guys. You should work together more often. Amazing version of both songs. Keep the good work.

[@dylandecker_music]

I was reading the comments throughout the video and saw a lot talking about their Blackbird duet. I still wasn't ready to see that. Wow.

[@vaya11.9]

The humbleness when you finished "Once you" and the "Thank you" 's are a testament to music, driven from pure love. What more do you want to be inspired?! Be healthy and blessed!

[@kostasjazz]

Amazing video and duets. Hope you guys collaborate again!

[@LLoKKa]

Once You was also my favorite from the very first listen! It's just so beautiful. The way you guys played on this brought me to tears like when I listened to it the first time. What a time to be alive and listening to new music!

[@TimHeizer]

Wow. So much fun to watch and listen! Definitely one of my all time favorite youtube videos.

[@kriskenard]

Long Live June Lee!

[@extraordinarilyauthenticin8960]

Yeah!!! That's amazing! I'm such a big fan of you both!

[@UlisesRockerHR]

Can't like this enough on youtube. Thanks a lot, you two!!!!!

[@tobyho92]

Deeply inspiring. I love seeing and hearing the connection build between you two. June, I really enjoyed your sound. Thank you both

[@mrdanielslade]

June and Aimee you’re both amazing!

[@gdamad1826]

This is the place where to meet amazing people... definitely...

[@daviddieffenderfer]

Well this is cool! Yall are the best! June's work has taught me so much, kinda changed my life, big fan of that guy.

[@WhitneyJohnson]

Aimee, I listened to this last night on a long ride home from Nashville; I LOVED it. What a wonderful conversation, and the music the two of you made together was exquisite; what a gentle brilliant soul June--and your your singing in this video was especially beautiful. i hope the two of you collaborate more!

[@StompL7]

My two buddies and I were jamming on pirate of Caribbean earlier and i finally watch this vidéo. What a treat to my ears eyes and soul.

[@lakegirlroxy9852]

OMG June Lee is incredible!!! Aimee your vocals were so Amazing just a Beautiful sound. I am so motivated to learn more, I love this video so inspiring! Thank you. You both sound Amazing together! Loved Black Bird!

[@CreativeTHP]

You two are gift to us! Thank you for the all the love tha you guys put into it!

[@curtbentley]

Couldn't have been any better!! Thanks for sharing!

[@unho126]

Oh man. Did I love every second of this

[@LukeToTheHoop]

Thank you both so much! No words can tell how beautiful you are and how touched I feel just by listening.

[@ryangalloway3107]

Musician interviewing a musician in front of an instrument. Make it the new norm!

[@ndykman_pdx]

I found this strangely moving. I identified with the feeling that you are merely okay, because you are aware of how much talent is there is and all the things you can't do. I would so very much encourage Mr. Lee to record more of his own performances as I think many would appreciate them.

[@mikedelferro]

Fantastic, really fantastic

[@lindac.9445]

What a beautiful duo! Thank you Aimee!

[@davidfleuchaus]

16:00 Perfect Pitch June’s intense exposure to piano at ages 4-6 likely helped. 17:17 is a key point. I’ve had this experience too. 19:06 that’s it. I got there for a while but practical life got in the way. 19:42 I disagree June. I hear your voice already. But you can’t even notice it because you are surrounded by you all the time.

[@BlackWhiteCloud]

Ok. I didn't think I was going to cry but that Blackbird interpretation got me.

[@trobin]

i first heard of june after seeing the great Jacob Collier interviews, and i’ve been hooked ever since. great video!

[@kaanpeeters]

your jams were just great!

[@Moinsdeuxcat]

Came for the interview. Added to favorites for the covers. Please release a duet album or something. There's definitely something to do out of these complementary talents. I'd listen to you two jam for hours.

[@이선행-l9l]

So amazing you!! I gor inspired for you two^^ Thanks!!anyway,I am korean!!! I am very proud!!!!

[@tonianeumann9353]

That was such a fun to watch and listen. And I didn't know that June ist such a great singer as well. What a voice!!! I totally got chills when the two of you sang together. Thanks for sharing. ☀️

[@Leo.Brodie]

One thumbs up for the interview. Two more for the song performances!

[@chandlerisbell5686]

Reminds me of Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. Great interview!

[@edencane]

beautifully played! Thank you both.

[@mcmire]

I still can't figure out what I just watched and I already have seen both Aimee's AND June's videos, so you'd think I'd know what to expect. That was truly amazing, y'all.

[@pgajer]

You both touched me by being so true and authentic, humble and playful while expressing yourself ... in so touching and beautiful way ... The chords June played at the very beginning of the first tune with these enchanted silence moments were so deliciously beautiful ... Jacob Collier was so right saying that you can offer something to the world right NOW. No need to wait ... As I listened to June, saying that he is looking for his voice and needs to work on his technique, I thought about Saties' Gymnopedie No. 1, which is an example of amazingly beautiful piece of piano music which is technically not complicated at all ... yet touched hearts of so many ... June, please share your music with the world, regardless of how simple you perceive it to be. Sometimes less is more. You are amazing !

[@reginabeck879]

This gives me so much joy

[@TomasikEnjoyer42]

Absolutely fantastic. Unreal

[@MusixPro4u]

Thank you very much. This was amazing.

[@RBoaxx-rq5or]

Wonderful! I feel a kind of Alban Berg early years piano comp. And what a big ears!!! So nice voice. God bless you.

[@perfectpitch4151]

Goose bumps!

[@pianomarianopiano]

One of The best videos i have ever seen. Love both of you !!

[@telespanker]

so beautiful, you guys are making me cry...stop it!

[@ButterInMyMouth]

So much skill and inspiration in your videos thank you!

[@lennontroppo]
