Sometimes, we think that John Lurie is the Universe, while the rest of us are just living inside his soul; listening, looking, and trying to better appreciate and measure his genius sounds and amazing art.
it's so heartwarming to see the kind and wonderful soul of a human you appreciated for his music-art-etc, it makes you love him even more, feels like you're spiritually friends, if that's a thing anyway. Thank you John Lurie, you are a great influence!
"...it's more... spiritual - I don't know what that words means..." Yeah, John, I know exactly what you mean! Toast to all of us who have experienced that experience beyond words
Wonderful Stuff. Thanks so very much for sharing this. The Lounge Lizards rule and thirty years on, “The Voice of Chunk” is still one of the finest albums released in any genre or style. It’s a True Masterpiece and only gets better with each subsequent spin (and stream). His film and television scoring work, for which he’s been handsomely rewarded, is also fantastic. John Lurie Forever!
...love his acting performances, too... and his solo work. He’s also an incredibly fun storyteller and full of sharp, witty, and well-informed opinions. Did we mention his painting? No? F***ing Incredible. Television writer and director... He does it all so very well and with so much heart, soul, and infectious imagination. #EverythingIsMusic ....so... #AlwaysBeListening
This was wonderful. Thank you so much. Never "got him" back in his heydays but so glad I can appreciate him now and especially thanks to people like you who take the time to share these amazing intimate moments. Not sure if he was considered a genius or major force when this was his time but he may have deserved more recognition than he got.
He's so good with that sax and clarinet I played clarinet in high school for a while and could never get the hang of it my reeds always cracked I hated the spit trap thought it was gross. I bought myself a drum set instead I liked that better just loud banging.
+FunkyNoone It's called Big Heart, and the full video is available to watch on UA-cam. Kinda funny that a band so good at chaotic jazz could come up with something so damn catchy.
I love to like John Laurie, but I don't. I also don't love to not like him. He'd be the kind of friend I care about, but who cares zero about me. He has an air of selfishness, self-centredness that is toxic for my psyche, yet I am gently fascinated by him. What is it about him? Anyone else has a similar vibe? I love all the characters he played with in Jim Jarmush's movies, and always liked them out of compassion for them to have to do with him. Anyways...
Stranger Than Paradise and Fishing With John were my first real experiences with his work. Realized later I’d heard him as a Lounge Lizard and seem him in The Last Temptation of Christ without knowing.
John Lurie, one of the universe's best...

Thee soulful John Lurie! Love him! so sad he can no longer play and so grateful for the music he made! Marvin Pontiac too!
God I love him so much! I wish him so well in life, he's given us beautiful music and film roles
No, John, hearing you playing saxophone for 45' or more is not boring. I could hear you for ever. You're so spiritual !
Thanks for posting this video. Listening to John Lurie speak and play is good for the soul.
kid was playing some wicked NY big band afro cuban stuff on that plastic pail. feel it.
Fishing……with Johnnnnnnn…..

That young drummer, Larry Wright, absolutely made it. Larry Wright (street drummer) - Wikipedia
So glad you posted this kids name…no longer a kid…I immediately wondered what became of him… John is brilliant and Larry Right was sublime…

Impressed by his sensitivity to both art and music
He’s still very much with and deserving of our love, time, and devotion. Always Be Listening, because Everything Is Music.
Oh what great memories! This is an essential piece of history. Thank you!

I feel like John Lurie would've done some cool stuff with Zappa
Great ! Thanks for posting !

"Dawn by Law" was my introduction to Jim Jarmusch, John Lurie and Tom Waits. Love this movie and these guys !!
So damn good
john lure, then and now, is a true artist and an inspiration
Absolutely.

Really I joyed that. Felt like I got a real nice inside view.
Hope the miracle happened and the kids turned out fine

Good drummer.
15:44 "For hygienic reasons, we kindly ask you to not try out the whistles"
Genius
That kid can cook
Definitely. The rest of the band, too... The Lounge Lizards are Forever Cool and Rock It Out for Real each and every time.

2:30 sounds soooo nice

2:30 kinda sounds like Flutter (by John Lurie)
CnockCnock thank you
It's on the "Fishing with John" soundtrack.. Brilliant soundtrack! The track Ketchak is also on there, it's from another planet!

:....and we're proud of it, we're so proud of it, cause that's the kind of guys we are.
Tarantella!
Is he the one who narrates the mobsters series ??
7:45 the problem with music now
No it"s totally not boaring for me to listen to your saxophone for 45 minutes or an hour, if that"s still a question.

*Lurie...
Those lips...
And that voice 😩
Anyone else had no idea who this guy is other than “painting with john”? 🙋🏻♂️
Stranger Than Paradise and Fishing With John were my first real experiences with his work. Realized later I’d heard him as a Lounge Lizard and seem him in The Last Temptation of Christ without knowing.
I hope you started listening to his music. Voice of chunk is one of the greatest albums.
