Exactly, how could we not even hear about this... lg klaus

You mean the feeling of nothing ?

@@GeorgianPranks no, the feeling of missing out on a moment you'd have enjoyed to see in person ;)

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

So G.D. Beautifullll !! Hmmm !!

Thank you! The Restaurant sadly no longer exists. It will forever be a wonderful memory though.

I love Martin Kleibls playing! He likes a challenge. He has his own youtube channel now if you allow the plug

perhaps that upside down star had something to do with it

Thank you!

@@jakobaumaier4428 I'm still taking a listen once in a while. This is for sure one of the most fun performences of this standard I have heard! Maybe because of the simplacity and minimalism physically and musically!

Maybe it also fades away because the music feels so good :)

I agree with your follow up comment; I’ve always found that when I’m playing with musicians that are highly skilled, more so than myself, they make it so easy to play along with them. Maybe because they’re able to each carry the music in their own way it feels like floating. I think also some of their ability is bound to rub off on whoever they’re playing with

@@benyoungblood4770 okay I'd agree with that most of the time, but I've sat in on jams with some killler players that really have some chops and taste you know? But constantly call tunes out that are freakinngg hard. Like wanting to play cherokee suuupppeeerrr fast or really hard bop heads (hahaha maybe that's not awful but hell I can't keep up)

My adrenaline was off the charts and it was not easy to keep it together I was also sick that day and hadn't really practiced jazz in a while. I had kind of given up on finding the time to playing a gig together and then: boom. I'll never forget that day an I'll be forever grateful it happened.

Something might be coming soon...

Thank you! Julian is exactly those things. The amount of love spread during the gig was beyond. The disturbance was actually caused by a student of mine who has a tendency to misread situations. And believe me, the voice telling me I have no business playing with Julian was looouuud. I just decided to ignore it, find all the courage I had in me and go with it. I just listened to this for the first time in half a year. I didn't play horrible but I didn't play great either. The main thing I got from it was: Take care of the people around you and be supportive encouraging an nurturing if you can. If you can't, take care of yourself first.

@@jakobaumaier4428 Bravo, Herr Aumaier, for this beautiful comment as well as for the performance of you and your exquisite fellow musicians.

Pat Martino and George Benson are still alive, along with Angelo Debarre, Bireli Lagraines, Jimmy Rosenburg. Guthrie Govan too, now that I think of it.

@@cjgreen4331 There are other great guitarists out there but where Lage shine is that he is equally stunning using electric, jazz and acoustic guitar. And read his biography. He was a child "prodigy". Seeing his level at now 33 years old, who knows what heights he will reach...

​@@francoisnuq3304 Gypsy guitarists like the rosenburgs, Olli soikelli, and especially Bireli mastered bebop and gypsy in their 20s, and that requires the use of both acoustic and jazz guitars. Martino played with giants like Don Patterson at 19. Not downplaying Lage, cause he's bringing back melody to jazz improv, something that's sorely lacking nowadays, but the title of one of the greatest is a big claim, it has no meaning if it's used on everyone that deserves more recognition for their skills.

@@cjgreen4331 the tittle is not used on everyone. He has skills but more than that, he plays "right". Somebody who don't listen to jazz could listen to him and love his music. It's the same for Lagrenee and Benson. Listen to what he does. It feels very natural and the technique is not overwhelming. And to me ears, it sound new, fresh, smart... though I understand everybody can have his own thinking about that :-)

I think this makes him even more amazing as a musician and as a person, to me at least..!

Sorry, thats all I can give you. We'll do it again next year and I'll try to make another Video. I'm glad you like it though!

Its over a 2-5-1 to Eb maj. He's playing a Bb augmented arpeggio up two octaves which he then resolves to Ebmaj with a naughty maj7 line.

Sorry I misread your comment. Over the minor 2-5-1 after, I'm not entirely sure, the notes are from a Gb mixolydian scale coming down, so I guess he's super imposing Gb7 over the Dm7b5. Then playing a Gm7b5 arpeggio up to get sharp 9 sound over the G7.

​@@beng3672 Thanks! Yeah I guess it makes sense to play a Gm7b5 over a G7 if you look at it as an altered chord. But super imposing a Gb7....? I don't see how that works lol. But it sounds good.

@@zugrath16 Definitely an unusual sound haha!

A George Benson trick

its absolutely due to his evolution - he was a monster doing straight ahead stuff when he was younger! hes making different note and playing choices recently and the artistry just might be better for it

Completely agree - tons of jazz guitarists cram as many arpeggios and bebop licks into their solo as they can, Lage is one of the few who keeps ideas melodically interesting, yet simple enough to not be cluttered. Not to mention his outstanding comping. Just a masterclass all around.

Hahaha!
