Love his playing but getting a bit tired of the crunchy jazz trio format, 5 albums in a row now. Still excited to check it out I just found all the solo videos he put out over the past year far more interesting than this first teaser track. We'll see, I'm sure the album will have great stuff on it.

He‘s now on blue note and the new album includes some live versions from old songs.
I really like this new song, he sounds fresh and in a fascinating way vintage and modern at the same time. Nice modern beat. Obviously he‘s very inspired by his new guitar.
-
It would be cool to hear him in an organ trio, especially with the "crunchy" tone he gets and with that new Colllings.

Definitely dig the song, but it peaked at Nocturne like Lobo said!
Would like to see him make a return to the days of old (Gladwell, still my fav by him) and bust out the L5 and the Manzer, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Honestly, I for one am happy he's NOT doing the "standard arch top thing"... that's what everybody does. If anything, I'm drawn to his uniqueness in using the Tele, Collings/Jet, Fender Champ, BRIDGE pickup lol...
I love big box jazz, but I think the world could use more Jimmy Bryants, Jim Campilongos, Duke Levines, and Julian Lages.

I was reminded of Manuel Galban in a few places. This is OK by me.

He‘s doin‘ his own thing.
That’s great and that’s why he‘s so loved by many people. As said above, his music is always inspired by the guitar he‘s playing, e.g. ARCLIGHT and MODERN LORE by his Telecaster, LOVE HURTS by his Duo Jet and his latest work by his Collings.
Great.
-
Still my favourite album of his is Room with Nels Cline. That album has been a real game changer for me.

Preordered the LP instantly yesterday

new tune isn't much of a composition, jammy, but it gives him a chance to really cut loose...trem, effects, crunch...he even quotes coltrane, by way of the byrds...sounds as if he's really havin' fun
agree he's treading cliff gallup, jimmy bryant, campilongo circles more than wes & pass...and why not? fab players all
cheers

This reminds me of Steely Dan and of Donald Fagen’s solo work. This is a Good Thing.

Lage has big ears and embraces the cross-pollination of genres, as do a lot of younger players. I enjoy everything he's ever done but I really dig his work on the Telecaster and Gretsch the most but he's a killer player on acoustic as well. Here's what he does with the bluegrass standard Cattle in the Cane.
-
Julian was developing a case of Focal Dystonia in his left hand, fortunately got ahold of Jerrold Harsher and worked with him to catch it before it did irreparable damage, but he's still playing lighter strings and lower action until he's sure everything is cool. I hear the Manuel Galban influence as well! I like the crunchy trio approach, I do a somewhat similar thing but add sax for color and contrast.

He's getting more into textural playing, which is a great thing. And yes, I think we had enough of archtop bebop players, move as far away from it is good for new players.
