Strange Meeting: Julian Lage and Bill Frisell

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

[@Sandemose]

They are so closely musically intertwined its hard to tell who is who. Such beautiful interplay.

[@FairyTalesInYoghourt]

Hard to imagine Frisell not being a big influence for Lage

[@TheMeltone1]

@@FairyTalesInYoghourt Yes! And for everyone else who has the privilege to play with him.

[@fabrizioluccitti6960]

my two favourite guitar players togheter and the tune, so simple but perfect

[@RobyNos]

Simple ? 😮

[@worldnotworld]

Best such a duo since Towner & Abercrombie. No one takes a solo: it's a constant interweave, they both take a duo. Play together more!

[@SamJeffersonMusic]

Absolutely spell binding!

[@redmaplerecording]

This has always been one of my favorite Frisell songs somehow. Really beautiful rendition

[@nilspeereboom3000]

This is so beautiful! Saw Frisell live last summer, amazing experience.

[@brentmatusikmusic]

Some of the most beautiful mastery of guitar I've ever heard, incredible synergy between 2 greats!

[@Fatherflot64]

Lage's mind blown by the Bach quotes at 4:53. He shakes his head like "oh my God."

[@m.g.kroger]

How can i like it 1000 times?

[@mikebruns8839]

That was 11 minutes of heaven. My old fav (Frisell) and one of my new favs (Lage) on one of my favorite Bill tunes. So gorgeous and musical to the Nth degree. Thanks so much for this.

[@damianominucci]

Bill sounds like heaven...

[@stefanobonoli8783]

My God, the SOUND of Bill! ❤️

[@dev_jana]

maybe the best 11 minutes of my life. Thanks for posting

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Sublime musicianship.

[@danielengel7566]

Pro tip: if you need to wipe your face just play a hammer-on trill and keep going. Love it

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Best ad for collings guitars and fender/fender style amps ever. Wow. Astonishingly great playing and tone.

[@tjancijr]

These guys could be playing Squires and pawn shop Gorillas and they'd still sound like this

[@e.r.559am7]

Stunning. Breathtaking.

[@andoletube]

My goodness - this had tears streaming down my face. Sublime.

[@samtchen]

Man, what a killin' performance ! Bill Frisell plays his usual great stuff and Julian simple adds great middle lines . Outstanding !

[@jeffstanton5526]

Two masterful guitarists, and two of the most humble and wonderful humans you'd ever want to meet. Which I have. They, along with many other legendary guitarists, signed my guitar.

[@nimitng5922]

Thank you for this video! They’re two of my favorite jazz guitarists and I’ve always wanted to see them play together!

[@cliffirddelbridge2810]

I just found this, I love their "same vibe" abilities. Brilliant.

[@MelodicDreamers]

Just wow!

[@lsdc1]

The universe manifested a stream of sublime beauty

[@barrysebastian9584]

If that doesn’t garner a standing ovation, I don’t know what does!👏👏 What an amazing pairing - Julian really compliments this Frisell classic🔥!

[@jazzbrew68]

That was magical. Thank you.

[@loontil]

Guy on right - rocking the Allen Ginsburg look...

[@francois3684]

[@paulfitterer5576]

So beautiful my heart

[@EnricoDellaFonte]

Brividi...SUBLIME!

[@sooloop7248]

such a beautiful tune and true master players

[@renatolimongi3401]

La forza di questo brano ha fatto si che Julian mettesse da parte la sua giovanile esuberanza, per questo mi è piaciuto un po più degli altri.

[@denmun9722]

This struck me like no other...

[@Eklyss]

🙂 Those 2 go well together!

Superb

[@rimon3562]

💛

[@robertrichardson9794]

Any chance you can share the original audio?

[@egdunne]

Frisell's playing always looks so different from the way it sounds.

[@Bobby007D]

I can hear Lage more but feel Bill more. I think?

[@ozanf3524]

Wooww

[@jamesliu4260]

Luckily we still have Bill and Julian saving modern Jazz before those chord scale zombies killing Jazz music. Zombies just play for themself not sharing music at all.

[@gigikarl]

whats the name of the tune ?

[@jronravetz7848]

I think strange meeting

[@francescobertanzetti3697]

👏👏

[@user-ue4he3li8b]

PHENOMENAL. Maybe just sit back next time, Julian.

[@tejastani]

Funny-looking Telecasters😎

[@timothymoran3975]

I didn't hear one sour note.

[@jayobrekejazz11]

This is a minor blues right?

[@monkeyxx]

needs more bass

[@bassmonk2920]

I appreciate this collaboration but the songs beauty is in the space (which makes it strange) but two guitars makes the composition too busy.

[@tejastani]

Great tones, but too noodlely.

[@jeremyboyd5608]

lol, two of the finest right here...
