Someday My Prince Will Come: Julian Lage and Bill Frisell

[@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!

[@antongratch3963]

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

[@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)!!!!!

[@clevelandbrown5709]

This is jamming at the highest level

[@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!!

[@BillOrme]

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

[@poemsandplaypieces]

This is what it sounds like when an artist is completely free. No concern in the moment to play "correctly" or even to play "well". Just total belief that beautiful music will flow. Julian is a precious gift to music.

[@worthmoremusic]

Genius's at play. 🥰 Phenomenal improvisationalists...

[@guitarhans]

Giants still walk the earth.

[@Rory99M]

They are defintely kindred spirits 👏

[@Fretlessness]

My god, they melt into one another

[@septidelaucer1267]

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

[@jeancharlesjegues1301]

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@juandanielgarciamercado]

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

[@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

[@Unkwn_everwhere]

Julian is my biggest inspiration

[@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.

[@maxbrown961]

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

[@banjoturtle]

It's hypnotizing how they each leave space. .

[@Chipgulbro]

Probably the house concert of the last two decades!

[@riffs5352]

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

[@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.

[@bubsadoozy]

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

[@benjousan8470]

Bill’s joy at watching that intro ✨

[@iadorasjourney]

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

[@BigandsmallH]

this is a masterclass in music.

[@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.

[@AlmostGrewMyHair]

Holy moments etched into music history.

[@johnhusson3580]

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

[@gringochucha]

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

[@bartekbarwicki9276]

That was the most amazing 9 minutes of my entire week

[@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

[@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...

[@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!

[@DanielHeikalo]

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

[@hiroprotagonitis]

so glad theres footage of this!!!

[@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!

[@frakognome4434]

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

[@luchadorito]

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

[@owenhu9465]

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

[@paulknobloch3440]

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

[@MarkSchau-q5t]

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

[@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.

[@acwatercolors]

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

[@danielebragaglia6359]

Gandalf and Frodo is magic

[@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.

[@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".

[@jelcheson]

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

[@JakeEstnerGuitarLessons]

Sock game is on point for both of them.

[@iwokeupthismorning2]

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

[@TheloniusJ]

Totally on another level

[@jazzvec]

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

[@shinozaki1205]

Duo of Princes

[@antoniocece]

Pure wellness, what a beauty!

[@benjousan8470]

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

[@piotrbalmusic]

This is just superb 👏👏👏 So many colors and emotions in their sound.

[@JoryGKenneth]

Astounding!

[@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 :)

[@paulgerards6494]

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

[@joeriffanucci]

Wow, so freaking good!

[@jackk9366]

The crossover I have been waiting forever for!

[@christopherherrmann921]

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

[@gunnarmichelitsch]

one musical soul in two bodies - fascinating!!!

[@viktorsincic8039]

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

[@davidtechau4083]

Otherworldly. Amazing.

[@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.

[@haimlute]

What a wonderful musicianship, highest art level.

[@elrafa782]

No word to describe this.

[@moriguchihiroki3917]

This session makes my heart gentle. Brilliant interplay!!

[@D12075]

This is amazing! What a conversation between two masters...

[@ppombbear7638]

bill look like he love it so mush

[@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).

[@berriesfruitas430]

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

[@joeowl]

My mind goes Booom!

[@Orasijas]

So so so good! Dang!

[@JuergenSchwab]

[@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.

[@marcelohorsth]

Wow!!! Simply amazing!!!!!!

[@vestbotrio]

Wonderful!

Bill's faces enjoying the intro are priceless😅😅

Extraordinário! Fantástico! Sublime! Thanks for sharing.

[@MaxxTrixx74]

oh my god ❤

[@HarmonieguitareBlogspotFrjltei]

Two masters...

[@luxoverb]

Without question. When I heard Julian play, I thought immediately of Bill Frisell. There is such a deep connection in their styles. To see them together is lovely. To see their connection is a thrill, an honor, a joy. It’s remarkable to see how much they enjoy the collaboration, and how they fill in each other’s lines and harmonies. Thanks to both.
