The Seasons: July with Julian Lage & Ben Wendel

[@megajames3000]

i used to listen to this everyday after it came out. I was in college for jazz guitar and it opened my mind up to how you can play duo with different instruments. This is beautiful and nostalgic

[@jlange6171]

I'm stoked for everyone who plays the bassoon right now.

[@mattorlando415]

I was just thinking the same lol. Beautiful instrument

[@EduardoMunguia]

Ahhhh the sound of unison notes between air instruments and guitar strings is truly something else.

[@chrishigginsdrums]

My daughter, who is twelve, just started on bassoon. It's nice see it used this way. Bravo.

[@thepoofication]

Just heard this for the first time at 2 AM half drunk - my ass is blown away...

[@tyteixeira603]

I continue coming back to this after months; the natural chemistry with Lage is just too much. I think Julian's sensibilities are near perfect for playing with horn players. Would be stunning to see an extended performance of you two.

[@Markharlan95]

I’m years into this one

[@camilledasilvakkkkpakklook56]

This composition is just so beautiful. The harmony….

[@Bguitarney]

I’d like to be a jazz master one day. No music master spreading beauty and joy to anyone that hears our sound

[@outerspace50000]

I hear so much sax and less often clarinet, you almost never hear a bassoon soloist. This is great!

[@LeaSenMusic]

always coming back to this

[@AlexHeflin]

Everything Julian has done lately has just blown me away. Also Ben's other video with Gilad Hekselman equally amazing (and let's be real, this whole album). But yeah, I just agree with you.

[@shawnkelly5191]

Same tbh

[@wynnyang6661]

4:11 that slightly late root note in the guitar fucks

[@garrettblanchard6408]

I listen to this a few times a week. It's so expressive.

[@Aardmanfan888]

Very beautiful. Most jazz bassoon performances I listened to had that curio aspect like in "look, you can do that on a bassoon, too". But here, as it makes sense for the instrumentation, it is just- beautiful music. Cheers from a fellow bassoon player!

[@cascanicoff5763]

Please more things like this. So beautiful. One of my top twenty videos in KZbin (and I have thousands bookmarked/saved)

[@gregd8261]

The acoustics of that room sound really nice. Julian lives in a dope apartment building lol.

[@mendoxx097]

Even his apartment is so musical, damn BOE

[@MusicisPartofMe5]

sounds like some video game music where id be roaming through the forest in like skyrim, i love everything julian does this is very expressive and the big bold open voicing chord progressions paired with that near perfect bassoon tone make this very delightful to listen to

[@loranelflatz2989]

Almost a "Live from Home" performance - before we needed Live from Home. Very nice!

[@local-teen]

Wow. One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[@carguy3460]

Made me feel good. All I want from music these days. Thanks!

[@RaphaelWendorff]

Julian Lage's playing is just incredible! Wendel's too ofc, also great composition!

[@patrickprotzman2407]

Incomprehensibly good. You both painted such beautiful pictures

[@HarderToMind]

I can't describe what makes me feel this song.

[@lindaschwarczova8470]

i am always moved by this piece and it is a must-seen video for all my pupils in our music school :) really beautiful music, so kind and delicate that it can make people better

[@lancecamposano3633]

This is the modern way of introducing Chamber Music, Love it!!!

[@douglasjackson8571]

Yeah real surprise recorded inside an apartment living room. Not in an empty chamber hall

[@lngodwetrust7117]

Amazing, the guitar sounds great with any instrument.

[@borael3123]

This is such a gorgeous composition. That guitar tone compliments the timbre of the bassoon perfectly.

[@HoustonSax]

Does Ben Wendel only do magnificent stuff??

[@soleaavignon4903]

Quand 2 musiciens extra-ordinaires se retrouvent pour jouer ensemble, le résultat ne peut qu'être divin!

[@mattdavis9801]

Beautiful, great compositions, outstanding playing - now I want a bassoon!

[@filipdinevmusic]

Beautiful! I like the counterpoint thing going on a lot!

[@Bobby007D]

Is that a Manzer ? Unusual finish !

[@Bassiturra]

Beautiful work, the composition of the 12 seasons was perfectly created for the 12 musicians that play with you Ben, congratulations!

[@somafulop]

Love this, reminds me Oregon! Very nice playing!

[@lucasmachadodossantos3147]

Great music by great musicians. And I really liked bassoon

[@albertpsaros3435]

So cool ...only bassoon and guitar together...awesome sound mix..love it

[@bricei.5235]

In the description : ""Ben Wendel - Saxophone". Maybe you should say it's a bassoon. I supposed it could be instructive for many youtube listeners who doesn't know this instrument quite rare except in symphonical ensemble.

[@openreels]

Wow, super cool! Puts in mind of the group Oregon...

[@teddypantelas]

Beautiful music. The musicianship is absolutely fitting to present it. Julian Lage is truly an innovator as to his approach of the guitar. Thanks to Ben Wendel for the writing of a beautiful piece and making that instrument truly soar.

[@andrebordinhon]

Reyi Torres, it's a 1997 Linda Manzer "Blue Note".

[@osso2]

Julian ALWAYS blows my mind.

[@ernestmartinez5776]

Badass

[@TRUETOILETTENPAPIER]

I think July just became my new favorite season.

[@catboyzee]

I don't care what some of y'all think of the bassoon; this performance is hot!!!

[@TheMikester307]

I just stumbled across this! Wonderful!

[@jazzerson7087]

What an inspired idea doing "seasons" with other great musicians. Brilliant stuff Ben.

[@vincentellin3821]

I've been a classical bassoonist of some repute for many years, and most Jazz bassoonists don't have very good sounds....but you are an exception (along with a few others)......wonderful work....keep it up!!!!

[@antoniofloris93]

Amazing duo

[@papamilo2671]

Bassoon is new instrument for me, love it. Sounds so wooden and natural.

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Love the project! This duet rocks as far as this kind of music rocks . . . (in it's own special way)

[@nachoeguia6604]

Pasan algunos días y vuelvo a escucharlo, hermosa música! Gracias Ben y Julian, puro corazón.

[@spicecrop]

Nice work. Just what I needed after waking up from a bothersome dream.

[@michaelwilbursax]

Making me want to get a bassoon...

[@ericamccool345]

Simply gorgeous, the sound of this duo!

[@benperschall6648]

Absolutely beautiful. I always find myself here when I can’t sleep or I just need to relax.

[@Canaanabolaanan]

Gorgeous piece. Stunning!

[@jorgetenamusic]

Hello again, love this, I just keep coming back. Thanks for this great music!!

[@clayatube]

Fantastic. More of this, please!

[@DavidePepi]

truly a masterpiece

[@mattmerewitz5060]

This is my favorite one yet! Nice job guys!

[@mattorlando415]

I'd love to hear Julian and Ben play a Metheny tune. Any would be fine but something from off ramp or even bright size life would be great.

[@wehaveasituation]

Wonderful wending..

[@SantiagoRK96]

Very inspirational!

[@joshuagray6627]

In a word? Brilliant!!

[@taijazvidfish]

[@inmacarlosjarquesocias2722]

Que preciosa musica , y que bien expresada , y fantastica la sonoridad de la combinacion del viento madera con la guitarra acustica. Excelente, es como aire fresco .

[@quinnrehkemper1213]

I love it so much! You two blend so amazing together! And Ben, even on a bass bassoon (correct me if I'm wrong) you sound great! It's 10:00PM and i'm taking out my sax to transcribe your solo right now! Love it!!!

[@quinnrehkemper1213]

One year later and I still love it SO much!!

[@vicentealvarado8108]

@@quinnrehkemper1213 did you get it down? It's incredible

[@janetlynch6048]

outstanding! Janet Lynch, violist

[@PeterVail]

This is without question the best sounding guitar I have heard in many years . Much credit to Linda Manzer. If I had the money .

[@artmusicguy]

Julian sounds wonderful on any guitar he touches.

[@owenhu9465]

Gio Belen nice one

[@MrJonahWhaler]

actually when I was looking for this clip I could not remember the name and typed in 'August'

[@Bryantkh13]

I didn't know Dennis from Always Sunny played bassoon so well.
