Someday My Prince Will Come: Julian Lage and Bill Frisell

Performed by Julian Lage and Bill Frisell, Live House Concert, Lincoln, MA December 1, 2021

[@antongratch3963]

this is not a performance... it is a conversation between 2 intellectuals

[@emanuelbesleaga9245]

Bill' facial joy listening to his pal is absolutely gorgeous

[@tomfarnan398]

Bill is gorgeous, always

[@rodilhector]

I agree

[@RJRonquillo]

THAT'S how you do an intro! WOW

[@jeffgough]

Can you please upload the tab for this song? Thanks!

[@3BlackStripes]

And the outro!

[@song4night]

Abraham Lincoln plays guitar!

[@Warrior_Pilgrim]

Hi Ronquillo!

[@chrisscanlon3717]

"Quit noodlin' around and play the damn tune!" Is what I woulda said if I was there!

[@fastjazz]

I’ve always thought of Julian as the next gen of Bill and here they are so far beyond fantabulous I am utterly astounded (for the millionth time at least)!!!!!

[@septidelaucer1267]

Lmao that kid cannot believe that his parents dragged him there 🤣🤣 4:40

[@sambsounds]

Bill sounds distinctly himself on any guitar - the tonal clarity, the melodic angularity, the peculiar note lengths, the little thoughtful pauses, the yearning scent of restraint.

[@jackgreenwood1817]

Best description of Bill's playing yet. "Melodic angularity" is particularly bang on

[@Mjollnir1234]

Fucking great observation

[@Pimp-Master]

His guitar sounds way better than the other guy's...haha for sure. It's the "adult" guitar sound that I grew up with.

[@jazzlefty]

Exactly!!

[@clevelandbrown5709]

This is jamming at the highest level

[@Fretlessness]

My god, they melt into one another

[@BillOrme]

gorgeous. impeccable. remarkable for Frisell to find a guitar duo partner of comparable skill & taste.

[@guitarhans]

Giants still walk the earth.

[@Rory99M]

They are defintely kindred spirits 👏

[@benjousan8470]

Bill’s joy at watching that intro ✨

[@Sammywhat]

What an endorsement for Collings Guitars! Those tones are to die for!!

[@luryas626]

And that JHS morning glory on Julian's board behind him

[@markphillips1057]

Great guitars indeed but the tone is mainly driven by the technique of these masters.

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

Talking strictly gear, the Collings guitar I'm sure is exceptional, but the heart of that guitar is the Ellis pickup. It was built around that pickup, for that pickup, because of that pickup, which is one of a kind extraordinary.

[@jacksonrussellband]

One of my favorite Miles Davis records!!!

[@juandanielgarciamercado]

this might be one of the best interplay the word has ever witnessed

[@jeancharlesjegues1301]

magnifique voyage , avec cette musique on peut attendre sereinement avant que son prince ou sa princesse n'arrive

[@SanjeevRau]

My man bill rocking the adidas sambas what an absolute fit king

[@jbri1]

they're not adidas... 😕

[@rubbadubdub6543]

Those are Gola Harriers.

[@SanjeevRau]

@@rubbadubdub6543 @jbri1 my bad y'all they look like sambas idk shit about shoes

[@danshieldsguitar]

So incredibly brilliant. Reminds me of the interaction of Bill Evans and Jim Hall. Each responding to the other like they are one musical mind almost.

[@danielcasasorozco2978]

Completely agree! I think they should release this concert as an album. What a beautiful moment in music

[@johnhusson3580]

Oh to have the money and connections to book Bill Frisell and Julian Lage playing together for a private house concert…

[@ErwinvanAsperen]

This is absolutely insane. Julian often shaking his head and half standing up in awe of his and Bills playing… its thrilling.

[@claymationwaves]

nervous system is overwhelmed

[@edwnorris]

To be fair, that's simply his style. It's characteristic of his collaborative style. He had the same body language last night at the Schubert with John Medeski and his own trio. And his synergy with his bassist is remarkable.

[@JakeEstnerGuitarLessons]

Sock game is on point for both of them.

[@maxbrown961]

I hope both of these people live forever. Probably the two guitarists who’ve had the most impact on me

[@riffs5352]

the interplay between them is mind blowing... that outro?? what the hell did I just listen to

[@danielebragaglia6359]

Gandalf and Frodo is magic

[@banjoturtle]

It's hypnotizing how they each leave space. .

[@DanielHeikalo]

Two amazing musicians at the top of their game, un total listening respect. Brilliant!

[@kckguitar4166]

Just a marvelous performance. Julian is the kind of player that has to make an old hand like Bill think, "the kids are alright".

[@MarkSchau-q5t]

Is there a better advertisement for Collings guitars than these videos??? Absolutely astounding playing.

[@iadorasjourney]

Bill Frisell is having soooooo much fuuuuunnnnn!!!!🤩🤩🤩Soooo thrilled to see these 2 greats playing together...

[@Unkwn_everwhere]

Julian is my biggest inspiration

[@bartekbarwicki9276]

That was the most amazing 9 minutes of my entire week

[@iwokeupthismorning2]

Julian is sort of paying hommage to Frisel in his intro with his choice of voicings and Bill enjoys, beautiful ❤

[@Chipgulbro]

Probably the house concert of the last two decades!

[@danieltonga6052]

Wow I am astounded at just how in sync the Julian and Bill were the last 30 seconds of this piece. Out of this world.

[@Fishies125]

Ya, that part where they spontaneously went into the cycle of fourths together was wild.

[@hiroprotagonitis]

so glad theres footage of this!!!

[@luchadorito]

Those damn ninjas cutting onions, making me tear up while im trying to listen to music....

[@juanmartinfierro]

Jazz as a dialogue. Sublime guitar conversation.

[@adrianscally]

What a fantastic share. Thanks for these videos, Eric. The trust and communication between them is something to behold. Julian really knows how to bring out the most adventurous side of Bill. That grin...

[@BigandsmallH]

this is a masterclass in music.

[@gringochucha]

Wonderful. Nothing beats the magic of two great musicians using their ears.

[@Wileylikethehawk]

I want someone who looks at me the way Bill looks at Julian.

[@ChrisBentleyCementley]

at 7:55 they're about to end and wind up basically writing a whole new tune. Just endless possibilities with these two between every note

[@hibernative]

Holy moments etched into music history.

[@pedalpoet204]

From the moment I first discovered Julian Lage, I've been waiting for this video! And I see you have a whole set! I'm thrilled!

[@frakognome4434]

The more I watch this video, the more I think we're SO lucky It was captured and shared. It's one of the most fascinating and moving moments in the latest years. And one of the best renditions of this tune. Thank you Julian, Bill, and the "other"Bill. Evans.

[@owenhu9465]

oh man, finally a video recording of them playing together!

[@frakognome4434]

Video of the year. What would be better than this dream?

[@benjousan8470]

Julian pulls something else out of Bill, and vice versa. What a wonderful duo.

[@viktorsincic8039]

I wish I had the chops so that I could have a nice conversation like that with someone

[@christopherherrmann921]

The two greatest guitarists of all time... thank you for posting. If there is music in it's 'perfect' form, here it is.

[@jackk9366]

The crossover I have been waiting forever for!

[@steverolfeca]

Bill and Julian together, is a concentration of knowledge and talent that shouldn’t be able to coexist in the same space. Surprised the building didn’t fold in on itself! Love the way they obviously appreciate each other’s playing. Fantastic.

[@acwatercolors]

These two breath music The comping of Julian Lage is so fun, folk-jazz together. Amazing duo

[@AndyBartoshGuitarExperience]

Man, what a joy......the interaction of the two is an example of what a wonderful world we humans would be capable of creating together.

[@paulgerards6494]

WOW this is fantastic 2 true masters playing really together: OUTSTANDING !! THX Eric !!

[@JoryGKenneth]

Astounding!

[@jelcheson]

Superb in every moment 👏🏻 these guys are truly a gift for music lovers.

[@johnwells95]

These guys performing together is a dream come true. I'm sure all of the superlatives have been expressed about these masters of the instrument, masters of jazz. I love their simpatico. They are locked in.

[@TonchoBluegrass]

Hey check out their john zorn records together if you haven't I can't remember the name of them, zorn albums are often in latin and/or languages i'm not familiar with, but some of those records are gorgeous, cheers!

[@shinozaki1205]

Duo of Princes

[@TheloniusJ]

Totally on another level

[@joeriffanucci]

Wow, so freaking good!

[@mikemorada6290]

Julian Lage, guy is on a league on his own. Crazy damn good player!

[@jackgreenwood1817]

There's a young UK player called Rob Luft that you'll probably dig :)

[@michaelschaefer7962]

Among many other things here, I love the body English that Lage puts into his playing, along with Frisell's rapt delight at what Lage is playing.

[@peterjazzguitar]

Phenomenal, both of them are true gems. It's funny. first time I saw Bill in teh late 70s he was the guys with all the effects pedals (looks pretty Spartan now; Julian has the rig at this gig).

[@paulknobloch3440]

Great stuff. Wish I could have seen more of Julian's fretboard.

[@christianscazzieri]

I'm going to sell all my guitars after this I mean c'mon.

[@bubsadoozy]

So much fun to watch. They're both incredibly relaxed. 1:56 Hilarious technique from Lage

[@davidtechau4083]

Otherworldly. Amazing.

[@elrafa782]

No word to describe this.

[@robsondiem]

[@gunnarmichelitsch]

[@berriesfruitas430]

Ugh absolutely wonderful, this made me feel some type of way that I can’t describe 😁

[@christopherherrmann921]

Maybe the best thing on youtube

[@moriguchihiroki3917]

This session makes my heart gentle. Brilliant interplay!!

[@dennismetzler1876]

[@alexcorll90]

Bill and Julian really need to do an album together. Maybe they have and I'm just oblivious.

[@EricSkyeMusic]

Just, wow.

[@haimlute]

[@joeowl]

Very fun version. I was happy to listen.

[@HideyukiNakanoMusic]

[@ercico]

Bill's faces enjoying the intro are priceless😅😅

[@jazzvec]

Unbelievable playing - best moments for me: from 6:15 to 6:45 , and the Steve Reichian minimalistic ending from 7:56 onwards.

[@savydemirmusic]

Waow man💯

[@jeffstanton5526]

Two masterful guitarists. Both have signed one of my guitars and they couldn't have been nicer.

[@estebanb7166]

That’s great to hear. Both are truly amazing.
