Julian Lage & Randy Vincent - Stella by Starlight at SSU Jazz Forum

[@danieltonga6052]

Such stellar lead guitar by Julian... So colorful and interesting, right from the opening lick. A true virtuoso. Randy is phenomenal, too.

[@isakhungnes4416]

Daniel Tonga no pun intended?

[@kozho4guitar]

I don't know how one can get that good at such a young age.... this is just virtuosity at its best.

[@halyng]

it´s stunning that even though the other guy is playing solo, i still use all my attention to Lage, and the way he is playing in pocket. he´s never boring to listen to!

[@JamesScottGuitar]

I hear a lot of Howard Roberts in Julian's playing. I also hear Frisell, Keith Jarret and Pat Metheny. As well as some serious study of Classical Music. He has put in a lifetime of work in a short period of time. And, he is Superbly Talented.

[@mirkalf3148]

Julian lage is special. He just pulls those runs out of thin air. Magical.

[@mirkalf3148]

5 years later still magical.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

I love Randy's solo i just realized and that he's singing every line. But its special how Julian matches all his accents. Its crazy.

[@arodgoogle6327]

I was wondering who would be the next great jazz guitarist. Now I know who it is. Julian!!! Thanks for sharing this video! Superb!!!

[@Marunius]

Wish I could listen to this in higher quality, amazing comping!

[@pauldershem]

Undoubtedly the best jazz guitar duet I've heard in a long, long, time.

[@jazzguitarstudentufc-fan3908]

this is also nice kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZO6YX6NedCab5Y

[@Emmpeace]

That thing is still fresh after 10 years and hopefully more!

[@Compedgesaalbach13]

Julian has come so far since we saw him as an opening act in a tent at Tanglewood many, many years ago. Such a pleasure to hear him intertwined with Randy at key moments.

[@Riddlemewalker]

Really love the interplay as the tune progresses. Thank for sharing!

[@MrTonefingers]

Btw, Randy has some wonderful books out there; - The Drop 2 Book - Three Note Voicings - Line Games The information in these books are an essential part of Julian's early years. I see it in his playing. They're advanced fundamentals for advanced players with real life connections. If you're not too cool for school that is..

[@phish1]

I'm waste deep in Line Games right now. Such a great book. Hexatonic scales were an eye opener

[@devindevine6887]

Halfway through three note voicings as a result of this comment. I thought I knew my triads......

[@cjgreen4331]

@@devindevine6887 6 months later, you prob know them now huh? How was the book

[@devindevine6887]

@@cjgreen4331 so unbelievably revealing in terms of dynamic comping. An absolute eye-opener, really. It’s all concepts that I was for the most part familiar with but the way the book is structured and how it all has applications directly related to specific progressions and tunes really makes it click. Highly recommend for anyone in a rut or that wants some new tricks.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

I have the first two. I wrote to him for a clarification and he actually responded. A real gentleman.

[@jasonpitre1249]

This is bananas. Mind blowing improv on an old standard. Great playing, instant fan.

[@charlestresca7320]

Totally awesome jazz guitar! Stella would be proud!

[@MrTonefingers]

I've been fortunate to have followed Julian's advancement since he grew up in my area. He was just a kid of like 9 playing at Zone music, his dad by his side. I was drawn by the mature jazz I was hearing. So we met and he knows me a bit. Also I got to take lessons with Randy back in the mid '80s for a year. They sound so good together because they are such good friends and have been playing together so long, since Julian was 8 till 12 they worked together.

[@MoncurElectric]

What?! Wow. Beautiful on both sides. Thank you!

[@joenickerson8443]

graduated from SSU before jazz guitar tuition was possible.. randy arrived after I’d left.. must say I really liked this.. and I’ve never heard julian more brilliant! 🎸😎

[@coolguy478]

exactly man never give up on your dreams, i started at 13-14, though i didnt take it seriously until last year. Now im heading to my first year of music school in september. i practice about 5 hours a day, when i get to school that practice time will double. DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION OVER EVERYTHING. no matter what anybody ever tells you.

[@Josephshanks7]

Hey man I'm in the same boat you were 5 years ago right now, how'd it turn out for you?? Is it possible to keep up with the child prodigies having started later than all of them?

[@maxkuitems]

Now I'm curious about you both

[@BlueBuddhaDream]

Julian! Such an inspiration of joy.

[@kinyatsuruta8339]

the most interesting and pleasing guiter plays on a simple jazz tune. There are all different ways to make the good sounding music that's most enjoyable as demonstrated by Julian & Randy. Hope they'll try more of it!! I became a very enthusiastic fan of their's. Very nice indeed!!! Thanks Kinya

[@Completreg]

I am transcribing a few things from this video. Just beautiful

[@UprisePerformance]

Julian. His playing and his personality is awesome.

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Thank you so much for posting this video!! I'm a huge fan of Randy Vincent who is such an under rated virtuoso. Without some great instructors like him and Mick Goodrick, we may not be hearing Lage, Scofield, and so many other world's top Jazz guitarists today. Just listen to Randy comp, and you can really tell how awesome his playing really is.

Phenomenal! Incredible! Wonderful! The Both!...

[@josephshields4428]

Wonderful playing. Thank you for posting this.

[@bluenotecat]

Simply amazing!

[@aditya540406]

randy says it all .. marvelous

[@GuitAlvaroGoncalves]

Awesome !!!

[@piggyfly00]

so many styles in julians playing

[@_dayloop]

beautiful

[@dieinafirenrot]

I think it's just a fact you have to start at a very young age to be able to play like this. Science is telling us that early childhood is the most important stage of development. People who were steeped in a musical environment from a young age just have a level of musical ability those of us who started in our later years will never reach. But to be fair to both of them, playing like this also requires enormous practice. Like all the time. Julian has held a guitar more often than not.

[@youngun550]

I just love how it's obvious that he enjoys playing

[@icsettanta6]

fantastic

[@dhouchi]

love this!

[@dragondix]

AMAZING

[@ronbarry8542]

both amazing. but that classic tone and approach when Randy takes over at 5mins. so tasty.

[@ianandrews8204]

One of the few times I've watched Julian duet with someone that isn't instantly overmatched by comparison. Randy is obviously supremely secure in his own style (as he should be, the man is a giant), and unthreatened by Julian - makes for a fabulous study in contrasting emphases.

[@EcuadorEncuentro]

Julián es un genio!!! sin desmerecer por supuesto a Randy que es igual un tremendo guitarrista!

[@MrTonefingers]

I agree 100%!!

[@usalespaul59]

how many lives will I need to learn to play like these guys.... I guess 1000...

[@DanJohnson]

Amazing playing!

[@gabri3l367]

Veramente di alto livello musicale !!!!

[@Greenjah81]

Wow this is amazing, sounds a bit slow in the beginning, but then both starts to cheer up and play amazingly beautiful music.

[@jgl2222]

Thumbs up^ I can't tell you how many times I've felt insignificant because I started later......

Wes Started at 19, but his brothers were acomplished musician, he was raised in a musical environnement.

[@root_51]

Wow!!

[@QGMODS]

why do i get "Weirdest planets doc" as a related video? hehe

[@guitarnut7438]

I think I will need 10 lives to learn to play like this... these guys are from another planet! Unreal! This is just true music, not scales, licks and all this crap!

[@samthorpe_]

1:08 on is such a gorgeous moment

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

4:24 Randy Solo starts 4:30 quiet comp 4:46 Accent play starts The way I can think of it is.... Transcribe your favourite PIANISTIC comping rhythms Learn to play these rhythms; Plucked Strummed IN THE CONTEXT of four to a bar background playing Accompanied with walking bass.

[@PhilEmanS]

BELIEVE is every thing. if you believe, you wont play that good, you wont. if you chooose to believe, youll be motivated, practice with heart and discipline, you will play that good..

[@MarkusFunk]

I think that there is also something to be said for how high the "bar" is during the times in a player's life when they are putting in the hours. With every new innovator the bar keeps rising to a new standard, and there are new approaches to transcribe and learn from. If you were in the shed pre- Wes Montgomery then that influence will be absent from your playing unless you go back after the fact and assimilate it. Then, see the comments relating to the time constraints that come with age.

[@kingofskateop]

I love the way they think the same note at 2:16

[@halyng]

what i meant is, when the other guy is playing solo i still use all my attention to Lage and how i accompanies the other guy without overshadowing him.

[@gustavoalexander4579]

linguagem dos deuses

[@babinm]

Lage is an example of how hard work and technique can make you great. Most of us work as hard as we can with as much talent naturally has Lage but don't acheive the level for lack of work.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

I would say, from what I have heard and seen of Julian, that his brilliance has been equaled by his passion and work ethic. But, his natural gifts are pretty damn remarkable.

[@babinm]

It seems like great guitarists like Pass, Hall, Montgomery had a unique consistent style that I in some way equate with a genius of sort. I realize Lage has some of that too.

[@ddanze]

I appreciate that comment, keep reminding ones(my)self!

[@jgl2222]

I don't know about that, hard work and determination can change any situation. Whether you started earlier or later.

[@raysonkong]

agreed. another example would be joe satriani, at 14, not a particularly young age either,often times comments like" I am too old to start something" only suggests that a person's inertia or dispair. A person with determination would go very far. I believe one should only compare to yourself. To get ahead is to get started.

[@victorsethy]

@pauldershem Agree.

[@NathanSotoGuitar]

Still my favorite interpretation of Julian! And Randy was also phenomenally ideal companion!

[@김민승-z6l]

wow

[@rocklover41]

phenomenal solos by both! I love the contrast between the tones too. Julian kicked butt like usual, but I like Mr. Vincents solo a bit better. either way both are leagues above my own!

oh fuck all..they're here!

[@coolguy478]

i must agree with JGL. Lets keep in mind that Wes Montgomery started at 19....enough said. the only thing that makes it difficult with age is time constraints and responsibilities. but if you find the time to practice endlessly it is possible.

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!! :D

[@muzo56281721]

One guitarist is more solo-orientally pleasing, the other more chordally so; both, hopefully, aspire toward ground-breaking musical territory bestowed the guitarist by e.g., Lagrene & Luc.
