Wow what a treasure these guys are. This is rare and sublime interplay between true masters of the art. What a privilege to hear this. Thanks for posting!!
Love this. Two other players might have eventually broken into a less adventurous, more standard reading of this song. Of course, not these guys :-). We should expect the unexpected from Bill & Julian. No comfortable resolutions. Instead- their unique sketches of Days of Wine and Roses. What an utterly sublime, deeply musical conversation.
Sounds like two guys noodling each to himself. I think I will do the same. I will record myself noodling on one day and then a few days later I will record a second noodling session. I will then mix the two random noodle tracks into one mix, each track panned hard left or right. I will call this collection of random playing "Days of Roses and Wine" as an homage to these two.
I guess some like this stuff, I know some may criticize me as not being sophisticated but I tend to like music that has harmony and doesn't sound like they're trying to play two different songs at once.
diceva bene Paolo ma in questa versione molto free Bill ha provato più volte a introdurre un discorso più comprensibile ma poi ha dovuto seguire l'estro di Julian, non poteva fare diversamente...

is this masterful or just a fart-about. of a half-memory glitch, of a part remembered song, that each is pushing and pulling trying to help recall important phrases, knowing they know the out line of the song but not the tempo, and each being obstinate a musician he keep's to his own idea of the correct pace but... it's as if they'd only heard it on the way to the show, so it's kind of still fresh in each memory as when they were stuck in that traffic, and the window was open for air, and it's melody was on some other cars radio. so all the talking was done in the cab, and a mini hummed rehearsal was done there in advance. so at the gig they just step into this tune as a warm up jam, to pin that fat lady memory to the floor for all. I imagine the car and the radio and maybe a buxom chilling lass tapping out the rhythm on the wheel and the turn of their conversation after that glancing moment. maybe it was too to much to ask even of their undoubted genius for the flesh keeps on falling of the bone of this tune and it doesn't feel quite right. to my ear. it's defiantly a strange flavour, a something that is acquired. while that audience in that room... this is their taste, even if maggoty green and writhing they know their in for a treat even with it raw and somewhat odd just a warm up yeah warm it up it'll be ok..
There are two. Bill is using what’s to be a cream tolex Princeton like amp. Julian has something type fender behind him. You can see a little of it in the other videos of this show.
@@gillesswing1423 I thought it was Mesa/Boogie too. I think Mesa/Boogie will be good for his music because firstly Mark 1 was made as a copy of Princeton Revaerb with master volume. But it seems it was a different amp.
They can play, they understand music, although to me meaningsless. Confusing, I am not an ignorant concerning music, still I cant understand someone likes it
It's really dense, and their chemistry improves throughout the set It may never be for you & that's ok, but do yerself a service and check back in every few years. It a big ocean and maybe this will hit yer ears better later
First couple of minutes is kind of like Saturday afternoon in a guitar store in jazz heaven. But I'll give the opening a few more listens to see what I'm missing. They do settle down a bit after that opening and aren't playing on top of each other so much.
Not my cup of tea. Improvising freely over a progression doesn’t mean you’re playing the tune. No sense of melody and harmony for me. I prefer by far Wes Montgomery or Herb Ellis versions.
What the hell is this???? This is not the Days of Wine and Roses. I have great respect for both these guitar players, BUT WHAT THE HELL???? Just play the tune.
@@nitroxsam66 , no they didn't. Half way through is the only place where you could hear a HINT of the tune, which is not playing the tune. The half way point you are referring to had dissonance added with added chords, it was also filled with 100s of unrelated melody note (filler material) woven in between the hint of the melody line. This was an arrogant , too good for their own good, performance that butchered a beautiful tune.
This is jazz improvisation, the kind where improvisers chose to take more liberty and treat source material loosely. Very, very common practice in jazz. Like, almost every jazz great from 50’s till now would take liberties like this on occasion. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is not shocking nor suprising to jazz fans.
I suggest Bill and Julian actually read the lyrics of this tune, because their arrangement of this song goes against all meaning and prosody of the lyrics. Total nonsense, and total arrogance, to butcher a beautiful song like "The Days of Wine and Roses" for their amusement. Know the tune, and play the tune.
What? You feeling okay? What a filthy casual 😂😂🤣 Do you even know a thing called music? You have no idea how ashamed you should be of your absolutely absurdly uninformed, invalid and shameful comment.
@@tiago2336 higelin is just a miserable guy trying to get a rise out of people by shitting on something beautiful. it's the youtube equivalent of vandalism.
@@avtobus1234 Yeah you are right - as soon as you express any view that is dissenting you get these arrogant arseholes trying to publicly shame you - but that's the convention for You Tube
Feel free to sing along! ;)
🤣
😂 Be careful what you wish for…
That could have easily gone on for another eleven minutes. I can't stop smiling!!
I think that was one of the most amazing duets I have ever witnessed! And Ive seen them both many times... WOW
This is so great, a Monk like interpretation in some ways, such amazing interplay.
Many thanks for posting this treasure i beg your pardon for my english
Again thank you for this moment with my two favorites guitarist
Oh man, two of my favorite masters!! Thanks so much for sharing it!!
Thank you so much for recording and publishing this! :D
This is so wonderful, thank you very much for posting the 6 videos.
I was waiting for this moment for a long time ago. Thank you very much for sharing!! merci pour le partage!!
What a real masters of the electric guitar they are. God bless them
It got better and better and in the end it was full force master class!
Such FREEDOM !!🙂
I know its good before even listing to it because its my favourite jazz song played by my favourite jazz artist. Im excited.
Wow what a treasure these guys are. This is rare and sublime interplay between true masters of the art. What a privilege to hear this. Thanks for posting!!
Great stuff, thanks for posting this and the other videos as well.
Oh, btw. SO beautiful and So free! WOW pure pleasure!
An amazing interplay between these two artists - wonderful!
Awesome. Reminds me of that Jim Hall and Pat Metheny album.
Bill Collings would be so happy :) !! WOW !!
Thought the same thing. 🙏
My kind of fusion. The high point of jazz fusion. Swing and Tin Pan Alley tunes.
Fantastic! These guys are amazing together!
I still get it and love it.
holy f-ing moley was that great. Grinning ear to ear throughout.
wowww two of my favorite musicians
Génialissime ❤
Joy - thank you.
Incredible beauty
Spectacular. I adore this.
Honestly, just speechless
Two masters at work.
Are they both plugged into the one amplifier?
@@mikemason6776 No 2 amps !! ;) True 2 Masters !!

Amazing music
I get it, I understand it,
I love it.
Many thanks to share!
2 of the best. 🙂
Stunning!!!
highest level ov playing together. just like 1 single organism.
I was kind of getting into jazz until I saw this
Mind to mind , by hand.
I'm three minutes in and they're still tuning their guitars. Can someone give me the timestamp for when the actual song begins?

wow... wow... whoa..
I guess some like this stuff, I know some may criticize me as not being sophisticated but I tend to like music that has harmony and doesn't sound like they're trying to play two different songs at once.
You do you...
the fact that they use counterpoint does not mean there is no subjacent harmony!!! anyway, one likes what one likes :D
Nel 1998 Paolo Conte venne a parlare all'Università e disse che in un assolo ben fatto si dovrebbe sempre riconoscere il tema del brano.
diceva bene Paolo ma in questa versione molto free Bill ha provato più volte a introdurre un discorso più comprensibile ma poi ha dovuto seguire l'estro di Julian, non poteva fare diversamente...

I understand nothing
Apparently, neither do the majority of people posting comments up here 😂
yes
Whose house is this???
It sounds like the ice cream van man has arrived
The majority of the comments here is the complete opposite of this performance. Let me explain... The performance is ingenious.
Julien Lage played with Mary Halvorson
He is still connected to the period on these musical researches

The idea of this performance is obviously to come from the unknown to the known. You're welcome.
Wow
Notevole
is this masterful or just a fart-about. of a half-memory glitch, of a part remembered song, that each is pushing and pulling
trying to help recall important phrases, knowing they know the out line of the song but not the tempo,
and each being obstinate a musician he keep's to his own idea of the correct pace
but... it's as if they'd only heard it on the way to the show, so it's kind of still fresh in each memory
as when they were stuck in that traffic, and the window was open for air, and it's melody was on some other cars radio.
so all the talking was done in the cab, and a mini hummed rehearsal was done there in advance.
so at the gig they just step into this tune as a warm up jam, to pin that fat lady memory to the floor for all.
I imagine the car and the radio and maybe a buxom chilling lass tapping out the rhythm on the wheel
and the turn of their conversation after that glancing moment.
maybe it was too to much to ask even of their undoubted genius
for the flesh keeps on falling of the bone of this tune and it doesn't feel quite right.
to my ear. it's defiantly a strange flavour, a something that is acquired.
while that audience in that room... this is their taste, even if maggoty green and writhing
they know their in for a treat even with it raw and somewhat odd
just a warm up yeah warm it up it'll be ok..
Yes.
Nice. By 1:50 they are totally together
@@paulgibby6932 I know.. it's genius
I only see 1 amp ?????
There are two. Bill is using what’s to be a cream tolex Princeton like amp. Julian has something type fender behind him. You can see a little of it in the other videos of this show.
🙂🙂🙂
10:48 holy
Does anyone know what’s the amp that Bill using (left one)?
I also would like to know. I thought it was a Mesa Boogie ...
@@gillesswing1423 I thought it was Mesa/Boogie too. I think Mesa/Boogie will be good for his music because firstly Mark 1 was made as a copy of Princeton Revaerb with master volume. But it seems it was a different amp.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄😄😄
No entendi nada
Uh... that was.... weird... in the beginning.
I never heard the theme of the days of wine of roses 😂😂😂
Great musicians who I don't enjoy listening to. But fantastic nonetheless.
🧐🧐
I love Julian Lage...but this isn't "Days of Wine and Rose's"
You’ll recognise the melody around 6 minute mark.
And then there’s Reggie Young’s playing on Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away”
lage's a chameleon
6:04 so sick
WHAT
머가 어떻게 연주하는건지 모르겠네요 ;;; 어렵네요

J'"ai envie de dire !!!
Mais Pourquoi????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bahh.
Great players but that's too weird. They need more structure and a drummer.
First couple of minutes is kind of like Saturday afternoon in a guitar store in jazz heaven. But I'll give the opening a few more listens to see what I'm missing. They do settle down a bit after that opening and aren't playing on top of each other so much.

They hit the melody about half way through.

I prefer Bill Evans playing this...
I prefer Bill Evans playing ANYTHING 😉
I had to stop it at 1m26, absolute crap
God that was drivel
bad jazz, bad contemporary, bad pop, I don't like this
