- Julian, Miles and Mary go deep down the rabbit hole in a conversation about electric guitars, jazz theory and history with our Artist Relations guru Chris Berens at EastSide Sound in NYC. Jump in and geek out with us!
Audio recorded by Marc Urselli at EastSide Sound in New York City
Check out the three improv videos here:
• Mary Halvorson, Julian...
• Mary Halvorson, Julian...
• Mary Halvorson, Julian...
Please do another one with Bill Frisell, Nels Cline and Marc Ribot and make it 3 hours long. I will buy 2 pairs of headphones if you do.
Chris says: We would so love to do that! Two of those guys are already Audeze users, working on getting the third on board. Getting them all in a room with cameras is always the biggest challenge!
@@AudezeHQno seriously, how do we help make that happen
I love Mary's sound.
This is an hour plus of guitar geek nirvana...Thank you so much!
They are all unique players, too. 💖💣
Thanks Mark, glad you dig it!
They're all such great and unique artists. Was listening to Miles's Monk recordings and Mary's new Belladonna record the other day, can't wait for Julian's new record with Dave King and Jorge Roeder!
And Belladonna's sister record Amaryllis? :)
@@RayasNegroOvejas of course! :)
Slowly getting through Miles’ Work recording, each CD getting multiple replays before I move onto the next one
@@markcollins1497it totally deserves that. I'm really scattershotting it
I’ll get around to that too
What an unexpected treat this was! Thanks, Audeze.
A wonderful video with 3 of my favorite musicians, each so inspiring and original and different from one another and yet, so much commonality in spirit and intention. Thanks for making and posting this. Kudos.
This feels. Surrealx thank you for this! I only needed Pat and Gilad in the same conversation but it's still an excellent reunion
Its actually quite good to hear other guitarist talking about their instruments and things in general. I live in the suburbs so don't get to meet other players. In fact even before moving here I was pretty much a solitary person. I play guitar in my local church. I recently got diagnosed with breast cancer which I'm convinced was caused from the guitar resting on my right side 😐. 😌 I don't think my doctor was impressed with that idea. Anyhoo I'm near the end of treatment , by God's grace I will resume my playing in Church and back to good health🙏🏾🇬🇧
Hope you make a full recovery
@0xkudz4i Thank you. 😊 im now back to playing guitar 🎸. Chemo all done. Still a bit of treatment but I'm practically back to my old self 🙏🏽. God is good.
@@furrymonkeything That's great news!
Most jazz guitarist: despise Bigsby
Julian: I like Bigsby. ...as a counter weight.
this is...the best video...I've ever seen??? ever?
So cool and fun! Not surprising that the 3 of them as pro players and artists aren't really all that gear-centric, utility and tone come first. I was right there with Chris having all the answers to the nerdy detail questions though!
Love the props Julian gives to metal at 28:10 and Tosin Abasi at 29:09. Among other cool things.
This is great. More of this would be much appreciated. Thanks for the download.
Nerdy, interesting and entertaining! 😃
Man this a meeting of minds for real
this is a lot of fun
Thanks for this! Amazing hang🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Very cool, thank you!
Julian's guitar in Mary's hands sounds cool
Fantastic!
40:19 good to know that there is hope, after an injury to your hand.
Thank you so much for posting this conversation among three great players and interesting thinkers about guitars and sound. I see some Quilter amps - are those what was used and which models are they, if you don't mind? Thank you.
A later shot indicated the Aviator Cub. So I think my question is answered.
@@michaelkay611 you got it! They all loved the amps and Julian and Miles took them home. The third one lives at EastSide Sound and we're told it gets a lot of use on sessions.
I had a chance to hire Julian and Steve Kimock for a clinic. How did I do that???? They played =)
Julian Lage said Tosin Abasi is amazing. very cool. that would be a good show them together. maybe with TRUM
Where can we find the jam sesh afterparty?
I'm a believer in no reverb as well :)
Update: Julian now has a Strymon Flint in use :)
Randall Commander II 212 amp rulezzzzzz
59:45 for the tuning song
Hi there! Anyone know who Julian Lage mentioned when he was talking about guitar books? Can’t quite catch the name, sounded like Jody Orin?
Joe Diorio
@@AlexHallGuitar ah of course! Makes sense - thank you! 😊
"Guitar mechanisms" by George Van Eps was mentioned but it may just be "Harmonic mechanisms for guitar" (not sure about the exact title)
Amazing - but you'd think these master players would be conscious enough to not noodle all at the same time lol you can't hear anyone trying the different guitars
They're guitar players all the same. They can't help themselves lol
Mary laughs every time she hears her pitch shifter, like laughing is the goal.
At 3:08 “it’s so much easier than a hollow body….” the truth no jazz snob wants to hear🤣🎸
Who made that Les Paul with the Charlie Christian pickup? So cool!
That guitar was built by Daniel Slaman, in Den Haag NL
I'm sorry to say that, but they should shut the "beep" up and let us hear Julian play.
Or at least take turns and play one at a time. This whole thing was a mess.
My 3 favorite guitarists on the scene today!
I wish those amps knobs went to 11!
Great video! It was great hearing stories about the guitars, but also a few about Jim Hall. I noticed in a cut that the Goldtop made an appearance but was not mentioned? Is there any clips of them commenting about it?
Good eye! Unfortunately we never got around to talking about that guitar, we just ran out of time. Thanks for the attention!
@@AudezeHQ Ah, that's a shame! Thanks for replying back!!
Check out John Bollinger's interview with Julian in Premier Guitar.
@@editorjuno I watched it when it was published. Thankfully they were able to talk to him about it!
What are pole pieces?
Pole pieces are the magnetic "receivers" of guitar pickups that pick up the vibrations of the strings. IE: the first step in transducing the string vibration into electrical energy.
What are those headphones?
every jazz guitarist: here is my 10.000$ guitar that I am playing though this transistor amp, but first let me turn down the treble so that I have a totally muffled sound as if my strings are completely dead.
Incredibly random question but does anyone have any idea what shoes Julian is wearing?
Looks like Gustin blue gum sole low top (can’t see exactly) or one of many similar margom sole sneakers.
The irony is that Dearmond 2K pickups in fact have a P90 type design although their front look similar.
I have the Korean made DeArmond, but they came w two types of pickups unfortunately named either 2k, or 2000s, confusing American guitar players. But this is budget ones (that are good enough for me) they’re playing the real deal.
@@donthomas3529 Julian is playing his Collings which has custom made Ron Ellis Ellisonics… so there are the vintage Dearmonds, and then the 2ks and 2000s you mention. Then the proline Gretsches have nicer Dynasonics, and the really nice Gretsches have TV Jones T-Armonds. And then above all that you have the Ellisonics. Cream of the crop for sure.
@@jeffdixon847 as far as I know, there are some other producers as well (there is a small manufacturer in Greece and PRS also has a so called D-Style pickup that they use in their S2 Vela line of guitars)
some kind of Gretsch I owned g6121 country
What headphones are they referring to? Thx!
All three of them have both LCD-X and LCD-5
One of these things is not like the others!!
Fun convo but they were allowed to talk over each other waaay too much. At about 27:50 Julian mentions a book author but you can't hear what he says. Would love to know!
Joe diorio
What microphone is being used for the interview? Does it have a figure-8 pattern? I'm grateful they're not wearing lav mics.. Sound is really good.
The interview sound is mostly a combo of lav mics (yes, they're wearing them) and the stereo mic on the short stand in front of the musicians.
52:55
Worst transition
Destroy all pedals Mary, I hate that pitch shifting. It's so unmusical.
This is good and all, but I'd really like to see these guys max out on the squat rack....
They can speech but don't share music only some noisy crap .Not the right place for LAGE .
Oh my gosh!! They’re not wearing masks!! The horror.....
LOL. For the record, everyone tested the morning of this session and no one got sick after. ;-)
Would've been nice if they at least played a tune together.
There are three separate videos of them improvising together
boaring. They do not play, just bla bal. Who cares about cables.

Julian is such a genuine soul, hanging out with him or even just catching one of his shows is certainly on my bucket list!
Saw him last winter and definitely going to catch him again!
That's interesting. From it's quite the opposite. I find him quite forced and unauthentic. Like he has to laugh at every joke and agree with everything everyone else says.
Since 2010, I've seen eem him at least a dozen times, in almost as many settings. From a very free thing w Marc Ribot to his 5 piece. He's always in peak form and never disappoints.
@@cfibanez he's really just the nicest guy. Very genuine, childlike. I offered to buy him a drink when i first met him and turns out he's a teetotaler - over the years, I get the impression that he's not done much other than literally play guitar his whole life; he comes off very sheltered. It certainly would explain his skills. But its worth noting that he's been this precocious prodigy since 7 or 8. I wouldn't call him socially awkward, but i could see what you mean if you just met him.
@@crieverytim I can't wait to see him in Vienna in May! Bought tickets as soon as I saw the announcement!
It might get loud - jazz edition
How many times can Julian almost drop an $8k guitar in an hour?
Well to be honest it ain’t 8k for him 😅
So… I’m watching people talking about guitars specs, and colors, and why this is like this and like that… 4k dollars a guitar, or more… and somehow… it’s interesting. Go figure!
julian is just the sweetest man. it is an absolute dream to see him live, do hope i can get there one day :))
A fabulous session. Most interesting as well as, educational….
This is great! What a treat to listen to them talk music stuff!
What are the headphones that they are talking about?
LCD-5 and LCD-X
I hit 1,000th like button!
Does anyone recognize which wrist watch Julien Lage is wearing here? Looks great.
Parker's mood is my favorite solo
I love nerdy musical gear talk!
Indeed, two is company, three is a crowd....
What is the pedal that shifts the pitch?
Le bazar.....habituel entre guitaristes .
What kind of headphones were they excited about?
Audeze LCD-X. 😊
Sería espectacular que alguien le ponga subs en español!
Fun
What are the books Julian mentions? Mary says she used them too?
At 25:34, Julian mentions growing up with George Van Eps books.
@@AudezeHQ thank you!! 👍😎
Joe Diorio's books
@@mattdowie92 ha! That’s it!! I’ve been searching for somebody called ‘JODY’!! 🤦♂️😂. Thank you. 👍😎
My rough guess would be anything by Mick Goodrick. Also Julian doesn't mention his name but Jimmy Wyble has his great book of etudes The Art Of Two Line Improvisation, it says tons about Julian's ability to improve with two part improv.
So those two authors. But Julian is the best sponge.
