He's incredible. I saw him last year (sitting front row centre) and it was a lot of fun, and just amazing.

Love this recording, and would've killed to be in that room. I saw him last spring in Madison in a really intimate room. He was playing through a Deluxe Reverb reissue with a Cannabis Rex, and his sound and touch were incredible as always, but I really think there was something uniquely magical about his Tele-straight-into-Champ phase.

Not Squint??

He's so good that he is able to play lines that attract a live audience who spontaneously arrive in exact shades of complimentary teal and peacock.

Well I can play all those notes, just not in that particular order.
Seriously, no matter what "notes" he plays his tone is to die for. Even on a YouTube video it comes through and sometimes listening to one of his albums I'll just loop a single song half a dozen times because I don't want to let go of a particular sound he's making.

For some reason I’m not into his Love Hurts and Squint albums. Not sure why. Taste is a strange thing.

I'm seeing him in a few weeks, solo show in a small club, can't wait!!
Imho these three are leading the pack of modern jazz guitar.

I can understand Love Hurts... but I think Squint is remarkable! But to each their own, and those albums you mentioned are great, too.

Each to their own. I’ve never liked that “jazz tone”. He seems like a wonderfully dynamic player but so many dynamics are lost with that dull tone that inherently squishes/loses the front of the note.
Then again jazz I enjoy is about interplay of instruments, tempos and ideas. This seems like a lot of playing rapid scale runs. I’ve heard some things he’s done with Nels Cline that I enjoy more. But that’s just my personal taste.

I love his rendition of "Emily". When I saw him last year, he played that one and did a similarly improv'd intro that was just breathtaking. I bought a ticket to the masterclass as well and ended up not being able to get off work in time, so I let my kid brother (also a guitarist) use it and he had nothing but great things to say about Julian as a person and as a teacher.
Highly recommend checking this podcast out. He just has so much practical advice and such a refreshingly laid-back attitude for a jazz guy.
What Scares Julian Lage?
The jazz phenom chats about flying with his guitar, how he approaches fluidity on his instrument, overcoming injury, and his take on pedals and tunings.

Categorizing him as "jazz" or something else, like talking about his "tone" separate from his note choice and phrasing seems to me utterly wrong-headed and to miss the music in favor of ideas, which is always a step in the wrong direction. Ditto with the song-by-song likes and dislikes. Isn't is best to take his music in the present and engage in whatever he's doing, rather than adopting a picky mindset narrowing it down to personal preferences consistent with our individual and far more limited likes and dislikes? What's not to love?
Can’t argue with that.
Amazing player. Love his work with Nels.

More than the notes and tone. Feeling, emotion, phrasing, confidence….
