*Note: Unfortunately due to video recording restrictions by the Village Vanguard, I was not allowed to film this concert. However, fortunately I did get the audio - and filled in the rest with images I captured from the night. I decided it was worth uploading the audio based on Julians beautiful performance.
Since this is a first, for this channel, your feedback is appreciated on whether I should upload *audio only* content in the future.

Julian Lage is a true genius of the guitar, and nothing could be more evident of this truth than his recent Oct. 13 performance with his eponymous trio at the legendary Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village.
I attended the 8 p.m. show on the last night of Julian’s six consecutive night stint at the Vanguard, where he performed with the Julian Lage Trio, with Scott Colley on bass, and Dave King on drums.
Welcome to the musical world of Julian Lage, where jazz meets old world Americana, bluegrass, rock and the spaces that exist between them.
There are few musicians in the world who can transport you to temporal places, sonically arrest you with blurred visions of earthy landscapes, mesmerize you with stacked cascading notes that sound like fast dripping water, and then suddenly with one intentionally-placed awkward note, cut you up into uproarious laughter!
As unbelievable as this may seem, all of these aforementioned traits were evident early on during the Oct. 13 concert when Julian performed a beautiful rendition of Tributary, the first song off of his 2022 View with a Room album.
In concert and on the 2022 record, Tributary has one of the best clean guitar tones you will ever hear. With such purity in tone and his use of empty spaces between the notes, it’s an extraordinary work that exudes the radiant quality and temperament which defines Julian’s playing.
This is the 114th installment of my "Great Performances" series, where I upload my own personal LIVE footage from past concerts of great musical artists I've covered either through written articles and/or direct interviews.
The Julian Lage Trio is:
Julian Lage- Electric Guitar
Scott Colley - Bass
Dave King- Drums
