Julian Lage - “Seven Come Eleven“ on Charlie Christian’s 1940 Gibson ES-250

Julian Lage, joined by Dave King on drums and Scott Colley on bass, performs “Seven Come Eleven“ at Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ in September 2022. In Julian’s words: It was an absolute honor to perform “Seven Come Eleven” with this beautiful Gibson ES-250 owned by Charlie Christian. This has to be the coolest guitar ever… completely modern and historical at the same time. Charlie Christian played this guitar on “Solo Flight” and many other songs during his time with Benny Goodman. Thank you to Lynn Wheelwright and all of our friends at the Musical Instrument Museum for making this happen. Thank you to Scott Colley and Dave King for the gift of sharing this experience together.
