Julian Lage Trio “Tributary” ORIGINS Jazz Series
The astounding Julian Lage Trio (Jorge Roeder, bass, and Kenny Wollesen, drums) performing in Lexington KY as a part of the ORIGINS Jazz Series. This is “Tributary” from Lage’s sublime “A View With Room” record. Absolutely incredible performance. I can't remember the last time I was slack-jawed for an entire show! @JulianLageofficial @originsjazzserieslexington9759

This song is a tour de force, one of the great contributions to the genre in a very long time

Couldn’t agree more, it’s so amazing, and on top of the absolutely stellar playing, a composition that just has so much completion and substance! Incredibly inspiring !
I admire the power and precision of Dave King, but enjoy the lighter, "loose-limbed" feel the great Kenny Wolleson brings to the trio even more.

Kenny was something! Basically anybody who shares the stage with JL needs to be superhuman!

@@mrtoastey -- Kenny's decades of great work with Bill Frisell are all over U-Toob. JL called working with Frisell on "View With A Room" "like a master class," so it's not surprising that Kenny could more than keep up with JL and Jorge in this trio.

@@editorjuno I have a confession to make: I didn't instantly recognize Kenny (looked him up later). Until I realized his astounding street cred, I kept thinking: "Looks like somebody's zany uncle." Which he may also be. ;-)
Slack-jawed is how I would describe myself at their show last night too!

Thanks for sharing this! This band has an incredible chemistry with either drummer(Kenny or Dave King), which is also amazing...

Too great....
really incredible to hear this after listening to the official one a bunch of times. Really shows just how much improv there is. Next time he tours I might just have to clear my schedule and follow them around. *laughs nervously* that's probably not healthy, right?

I don't think that's entirely irrational. So maybe it's *me* that isn't healthy! Interestingly, as dazzling as the show was (truly), I think he stumbles around a bit until the 4 min mark when he catches fire. He's just an astonishing player, and not simply because of his dexterity; but also because of his sensitivity. I feel like anyone can hear the gentle stories he tells with his guitar.

@@mrtoastey I have a handful of comments to make here. First of all, it's baked into this style of music and these compositions that how they are played on any given night or day is intended to be as much a reflection of what is going on for those people at that moment, individually and as a group and in that room at that time as it is a retelling of what's been committed to record. By what is "going on" I also very much include how the room sounds, how the audience are, and I daresay how the stage is lit ;) That's part of the intrigue of someone like Lage, no!? Secondly: it's interesting to observe the difference in his interactions with different drummers, specifically I'm pointing to the contrast between the constant eye contact and smiling you'll see between him and Dave King to the more head-down, ears-only interaction between him and Wollesen in this performance, which is undoubtedly part of what informs the content that you interpret as Lage "stumbling around a bit". It is just that content that I find most charming about this performance; the casual, pithy, sparse commentary at the beginning of the solo. That is not "searching", or a lack of ideas, it is extremely deliberate, it is the opening of a dialogue. The contrast between Lage's body language as he plays that little G-D-G-D phrase on the open strings of the guitar (2:20) and the gauche, sophomoric chuckling of the audience members who think it's some sort of gag just because that piece of music happens to not require the use of his left hand is hilarious to me. If they had closed their eyes they might have learned something; there was incredible beauty, humanity, reality and presence to what was unfolding before them. The notion that the performance "catches fire" at 4m when Wollesen doubles the note value he plays on the hats and Lage begins to convey more harmonic information really irritates me: that part can only survive and justify its existence because of what has come before. I am not trying to be a KZread comment dickhead, I actually never do this, but I felt compelled to in this instance.
Oh Lord!!!
sounds pretty "scofieldish" to me. Wonderful rendering.
Wow, was that really 7 minutes? Felt like 3... Utterly beautiful song
