Interview worth watching, Julian Lage
Buco
NOVA, DCDeity Ivanovski maple/spruce
Not Gypsy jazz but really well worth watching. This is maybe second or third time I watched something that lengthy on YouTube. Others were probably Dennis' or CvH videos
But I started last night because I really, really like Julian's playing. And Josh Smith, who's interviewer, I came across him on YouTube but I'm not familiar with his playing. Julian is very complimentary to Josh's playing so I'll be sure to check him out.
I started and couldn't stop watching. Josh is really good at picking a mind of a guitar player. Perfect questions to ask another guitar player. And only another player could think of asking these questions.
One thing they talk about which I think I mentioned recently on the forum, is realizing what they are and what they are not. What they can and/or can not do on the instrument. And they're so open and honest about it. You know, realizing you'll never be Bireli (Julian mentioned John McLaughlin , Jim Hall, Monk...and he says he tried, at about 55 minutes in) but not in a way that'll hinder what you can be. Every minute of this interview kept me glued to the screen.

Cool. NPR's Tiny Desk Concert folks just re-posted an older recorded concert of his (from 2011) back in the Fall. Check it out...drummer uses what looks like straw hand whisk brooms as brushes. Interesting.
Yes! Julian Lage is one of my favourite guitarists, so versatile. Enjoy this wonderful clip with Martin Taylor...
I've been privileged to see him a number of times as a leader and an accompanist. His masterclasses on improv are exactly that...words from a master. If you have not paid attention to Julian the video with Martin is great, but this is fantastic. Not gypsy jazz, but high level musicianship from all the band.
I seriously don't know what is with his playing that i was never able to skip past once I started watching and listening, unlike many others on youtube. I saw him at the house concert a couple of years ago, trio gig. He's unlike any other player I ever came across.
But actually his description and visualization of picking helped me a lot with my gypsy picking. At least for the tone I'm after getting. It's from this workshop which again the whole thing is worth watching but the link will take to that part
