The world could use more people like Julian Lage.

[Usiris]

What a beautifully spoken man, such a soft and kind tone to his voice, loved how he described each artist.

[thebreathalyzer]

Hearing him talk about Jim Hall, man. Well, everyone. He finds the joy and wonder in everything.

[ryanlocati]

Julian is the coolest and KINDEST to ever do it

[perspicaciouscritic]

You don't have to love jazz to appreciate Julian Lage's love of jazz.

[waynedexter]

This person reeks humility and thoughtfulness. More of this in the world, please ☺️

[PhilippPJG]

Everytime I see and hear him, play or talk, I just have to smile. He is an absolute treasure. The best…

[nutshell]

This DUDE !!! Ur guitar skills are brilliant - I am 73 years and still gigging and you make me wanna practice :)

[loubleed]

Wow, this guy's smile is what I need on a rainy day like today. Thank you so much!

[minusminus]

His joy is so sincere and deep. He's like that teacher who helps you appreciate great literature.

I love that I can click on these videos, having never heard of the featured musician and leave both a new fan of them and inspired to seek out new music.

[SeanMapes]

Julian needs a podcast where he talks about his favorite music. He is so well spoken and good at describing music.

[ngoodey]

I’ve seen him 4 times and have never been disappointed

[humanbeing]

Julian is a true artist who happens to use a guitar. Its obvious he is a higher caliber type of human we all can learn from and should strive to me more like.

[jonswilliams]

Looks like the world is starting to catch on. Julian Lage is something special. Beautiful.

[MrWumbologist]

I have never clicked on a video faster. I expected quality recommendations expressed in a poetic yet off-the-cuff way and it didn't disappoint

[Knobs]

Favorite guitarist. Wonderful to see what is inspiring him.

[MotoLen]

What a guy. Love it when successful and wildly talented people are also nice people.

[crazyprayingmantis]

What a sweet dude, you can tell how much music means to him and it's beautiful to hear

[evlovesbreakfast]

It makes so much sense how he is able to be completely and explicitly expressive in his guitar playing when you hear just how articulate and thoughtful he is in every sentence he speaks.
