lets take a moment to respect the mixing engineer
Is this a newer way of playing out in places with bad acoustics? It's interesting to know that everyone is hearing the same sound dynamics live.. but there's still nothing like a well set sound stage to me!
But yes, big up to the mixer!
The mixing engineer Eric Hartman sadly passed away in 2015. He has my respect and admiration for all this amazing music he helped give the world!
@@asmunddahlin1603 that's a shame to hear.... World class engineering.
@@efini_fc4276 its not so much a concert as more of a live recording session, all the instruments have to be away from each other so the mics pick it all up clearly
@@Xraftco no I get the reasons for placements. I think that's the word though.. It is a live recording session that you can sit in on. Simple and great idea! IDK just never really seen an audience experience like this.
Probably don't get out enough 😔
"I paid for the whole synthesizer, I'm gonna USE the whole synthesizer."
:DDD gold
This is the best comment
Except that he prolly got it for free
Kev G actually probably not. It’s rare for people in bands like these to get sponsor brands to the exstent that the gear is free. Maybe 20-30% off at most
😂RIGHT!
after 20 years of being a musician, i can finally proudly say i'm good enough to have been an audience member there.
Big Facts about that. I've been a drummer and a keyboardist all my life since 10 years old, I'll be 50 and I Have played some great music in my life but not like these guys. I'm proud to be a listener to this masterpiece. Surround sound just makes it even Better. Woooo
I'm almost good enough to watch the video
That's a flex
And after 20yrs of music theory I think I understand what three of the band members were doing. (I think )
I’m so envious looking at everyone in the audience here! What a moment
I can't believe this masterpiece is almost a decade old, such an amazing performance and jam!
I didn't expect to see you here, such a warm surprise :D
Also, SAME THIS PIECE ROCKS
W merk for enjoying this music
@@ardaerdogan690 SAME so funny
IKR THIS SHIT IS FUCKING AMAZING
I come here every so often to get my weekly dose of lingus.
I almost forgot to watch this today
this hour*
🤣🤣
Shucks, I’m so embarrassed for you
hahah right?!
You can make a religion out of this
It feels wrong to be able to listen to this for free.
I swear!
So then buy the DVD!

A yearly reminder that larnel lewis learned all the songs on his 7 hours flight to the studio
Really?
@@wohleyfabz1312yup, this was the first time he had played any of the songs with the rest of the band. they had no idea how he was going to play them, and he had never heard it played. it’s unreal
@@wohleyfabz1312 - Yep... there are a few videos of him on TH-cam recorded after this where he is 'put to the test'. It is some crazy incredible skill he has.... search for "Larnell Lewis Hears A Song Once And Plays It Perfectly" - it is freaky.
jesus christ
@@KC426859
@@KC426859Because that’s how jazz works. You only read the form and it’s about improvisation. It is meant to give musicians the opportunity to play with people they don’t know.
Of course you don’t have to be super good. It just happens all the musicians here are top tier and this master piece was the consequence.
I'm still upset for having heard this song, because I can never hear it for the first time again. What an absolute masterpiece.
I can understand that for so many songs but not this one… I probably heard it more than a 1000 times the last year and half and it NEVER goes old or boring, specially the first hundreds there’s always something new your ear picks up each time!
Truth!!
@@PurePT i agree, with this one it isn't about hearing it for the first time
Just did and holy shit you're not wrong.
That keyboard solo turned into it's own song at one point....
You will have the SAME reaction every time you listen to it. I guarantee it.
The drummer is at the correct gig
You got our favourite comment on this video bro.
Larnell!
HAHAH
@jajajah86 uhh can you explain for me please :)
GOD I laughed so hard at your comment!
The central nervous system of the octopus is structured so that each limb, quite literally, has a mind of its own. I must say, that octopus on the drums is doing an excellent human impression.
@dlein93
LOVE IT!
Nbhbbg lo
The real octopus is Danny Carey tho
This was the most informative joke i have ever heard my hats off to you sir
Larnell Lewis. He is incredible. He said himself that he learned this album on the planeride to go record it.
No matter how many times I watch this performance, it always leaves me motivated to sell my instruments and give an office job a decent try.
That’s what I did and now I’m at peace with myself. I also have money now. Which is nice..
@@Inspectorjim LOL
Why? This song makes me wanna be as good as these people and put more practice in
Lol
@@yourweirdplant exactly
After 10 years, I am ready to tell my Lingus story. It was a normal day. I was in my car on my way to work. A friend posted it in a Gmail group (still a thing back there) with a caption: I don't know will you like it, I do. And then those first couple of notes. And then Larnell. And then the first break. I stopped the car because I wasn't in the condition to drive any more. Sat in my car, on a side of the road, in a city center, in my suit and tie, listening this masterpiece to the max with tears running down my face. I still remember the look on a random guy's face when he saw me, must had so much questions. I always had a very emotional reaction to music, but this one just murders me every f..n time. I heard them live couple of years ago, and I though I closed the circle. But now I realize that this is probably the most important song in my life. Love you guys, you made my life more beautiful.
awesome story dude. i'm so glad i found this song when it came out, i always come back to it! one of the most impressive things i ever laid my young eyes on
it makes you wonder how humans can create such masterpieces
❤❤❤❤❤
maybe if i keep practicing a more few years... i'd be able to say oh damn at the right places in that solo
Just close your eyes and enjoy... that'll do the trick.
@@tonyzed6831 True enough. But there are SO many 'oh, damn' moments. Did someone ask, why jazz? Cuz it is live and you NEVER know what you are going to get. Sometimes it is otherworldly great and you can count that there WILL ALWAYS be more!
@@rkress9349 jazz is like a box of chocolates...
@@rkress9349 yeah!!
I started reading that all serious XD XD
I think the drummer matches cory in talent, in that he played such a complex, tasty and fast drum part so flawlessly. He was the bedrock of this whole thing and a fuckin groove machine
He got asked to do the gig 2 days before. Yeah, he’s that good
Hi! Do you know ABC band? Have you heard their amazing version of Giant Steps? :)
th-cam.com/video/3QaQZesK6j8/w-d-xo.html
@@Jackthestripper That is actually insane I didn't know that
Luke .Stagg so true. He’s my fav
Imagine the sheet music for this
Larnell and Cory locked in on the solo is just the most intense musical passage I think ever recorded
it’s like each musician was plucked somewhere from the top of their respective field’s and placed in this band. just a whole room full of masters.
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what it is
The idea of Cory Henry and Larnell Lewis being in the same room, yet alone on the same track still blows my mind, almost 10 years later
Started at UNT
Jesus, I think the drummer is actively doing long division on the fly to keep up with the time sigs.
Thank youuuuu
What do you mean by this?
Can it not just be counted or better yet felt?
@@camtheman3x6 Most music is divisible by 4, most of this song is in 5 which gives it an unusual feel. 5 is not too bad to play when it's fast as it's usually divided by 3+2 or 2+3. When 5 is done slow like in the main groove, that divisibility goes away making it harder to feel exactly where you are. Larnell not only makes it sound easy, he's also placing hits to help keep the feel for the performers making 5 feel natural for them and for us. There's also a lot of hyper measures where it may be written in 5, but played in 4 to create different layers.
I've got through a lot of music theory and analysis and I just sit back for the ride when I listen to this!
@@Klutz20082008 Hi there, I'm a 15 year old pianist. Ive been playing since i was 13, ive started learning how to do jazz music etc just recently. Is there any tips or tricks you can share for sight reading? the every green bus goes fast method is boring instead i use numbers like 5 the line on treble clef is f etc but that doesnt help fpr being fast and reading music quickly. Also whats the beats/rhytm? i can abide by the feel but i can't grasp it in sheet music without listening to it. If you could tell me of any free resources etc i'd be so grateful. My email is prof.doc2@yahoo.com
@@michaelchareka1175 Honestly my response is just like most musicians in the world, it's practice. If you are in a spot where you can't play, make some flashcards of notes to help learn note names. If you're learning on piano, also include chords. Eventually (1-2 years where you are now) it becomes more about identifying the shapes of the notes on the page and not reading each note. Once your music theory develops (there's some good resources for this through a search engine) you'll have an idea where music should be going and that applied with the shape of the chord on the page gives you an idea of what should be played. Once you are at that level, you can then take in a wider view of the page and read ahead while you're playing. Only at this point can you sight read confidently. It's a skill that takes a long time to develop.
That drummer worked so damn hard the entire song
He learned the music on the flight to the performance and improvised everything. Dude's a friggin genius.
Larnell was the star of the song, Cory had a great solo but Larnell was in the groove the whole time and was absolutely perfect.
Larnell Lewis and Nate Worth (percussion) are the dream team!
I love how you can literally see sweat flying off of him by the end of this
Legends be legends
The way I check my progress in music theory is constantly coming back to this song every month and seeing how much I understand the solo on the theory side of it... I'm still on the chord section 🥲
Yooooo SAME!!!!!
I'm still on the first chord looool
well I understand nothing of music theory but I like so much this song hahahah, so thank you for the ideia lol
Imagine if the jazz greats a hundred years ago were around to witness this. It would be hard to comprehend. Unbeliveable skill and raw talent. This is a beautiful evolution and pushing the boundaries of modern music!
As 70+, and a musician, singer, Songwriter, Composer and producer, I really appreciate what you said. I do so on SOOO many levels. From Duke, Count and Benny, to Bird, Dizzy, Coltrane or Tatum, they would appreciated this video magic!
legend@@MoBuc001
Here for my daily watch of this
2-3 times a week at least
@@souofelipe94 yeah , at least!
Back
Same here this is my 9th in a row now
Have you watched the Jacob collier and Daniel ceaser live performance today too?
“Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny”
"Frank Zappa" quote! And if you like complex rhythms and superb musicians (and music) you can't go wrong with FZ! :-)
Or you could say it smells a little "funky"
@@BarbershopTenor Live at the Roxy I think
YEEEES
you could say "stanky"
8 years later, this thing should have 8 billion views. One of the best musical pieces ever compose that gives so much flare in multiple instruments expressions.
Mostly because I've WATCHED it 8 billion times. 🤦♀️
@@singit3630 It never gets old!!
this is true transcendence. A miracle.
TH-cam sticking ads in the middle of the solo should be a crime
Screwtube sucks :(
Incredible solo, but drummer not of this earth.
Larnell Lewis--last minute replacement, and I believe he arrived the day of recording (or maybe the day before) and learned everything on the spot.
@@henderthing Pretty sure he had to learn the whole set on the plane ride there!! He talks about it on the video he did with Drumeo
Honestly
You will find him squarely and truly in THE POCKET! Unreal playing.
Oh yeah, he’s straight death on this track. KILLED it. And the fact that he was a last minute replacement is just unreal.
That moment when you start playing fire backup chords for your own fire solo.
after that he started playing along with his right hand but an octave lower. Incredible skill, never seen before.
@@daanclaes3335 Oscar Peterson used to do this all the time but still, anazing
@@daanclaes3335 pretty cool, pretty sure George duke did that all the time with Zappa, not to diminish this guy cause he's on fire here. I just always loved when duke did that
lol I have always loved this 9:30 spot and Shaun's reaction.
Who's here in 2024 😊
Still getting goosebumps listening to it on surround sound
Yep, I have to watch this every couple of months just to believe what I heard.
Does it matter when we are listening to it?
yeeee
At least three times a week
The synth solo, and the drums, they're great, but *man* are those trumpets crystal clear. That saxophone solo? The guitar lead? The bass?
The entire band is legendary in the way they play this song
Kudos to the sound engineers ❤️💯
@@wohleyfabz1312yup. Each and every person involved in this production absolutely nailed their job
The saxophone solo is the only thing about this tune that I don’t like. Funny…
Lord, forgive me for my synths
Look really funny

@Tom Myers ok
@Tom Myers Yes I do you F***** ******.
HAHAHAHAHAH
Haha me too that's such a comment bro, i'm on a diet to this song.. much love from Belgica peaceeee
Everyone is AMAZING but the drummers independence is seriously insane. People don't know how hard it is to do what he did on this track.
Does anybody else get that lump in the throats and your goosebumps get goosebumps when you witness pure talent like this.....
Literally watching for my 3000th time and still makes me emotional. This was a special recording.
100% my feeling
Not really....heart almost bursts tho
Larnell Lewis is one of the greatest drummers of all time.
When it comes to technicality he's quite possibly the greatest to ever do it, the fact that he learned the entire set for this show on an 18 hour time budget, including an 8 hour flight in the middle is just insane, he is up there with the absolute best ever.
@@ehsbe1056 Can you share the interview/source, would love to watch or read it. Eating up everything I can on L. Lewis. =)
@@ElloBoppit somebody in the comments linked this video where he talks about that th-cam.com/video/vIW72VXMPHo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Drumeo
@@ehsbe1056 18 HOURS??? I didnt know that holy fuck
@@ehsbe1056 no way
I don't care what you think but the drummer is the real mvp here. He never let off the beat and was on it 100% of the time.
yes someone else agrees
Larnell Lewis
what about the other percussionists
Totally agreed. Larnell Lewis takes Snarky to a new dimension. I haven't seen them live with him on drums yet. Someday I'm sure. That said I love how this is a collective of talented musicians which allows them to tour a TON. All their drums are rock solid
I mean it would be impressive if they weren't on a click
I just love how the second keyboarder (no offense, I have no better term off the top of my head; he's an insanely good musician too) is in constant disbelief at what his bandmember to his left is pulling off. Insane performance overall. Holy sh*t
Agreed! That is actually Shaun Martin. Check out his album "Five Summers." It's on TH-cam. Try the track "Yellow Jacket" for starters...
When Cory and the horn section goes at it and Cory singlehandedly matches their energy. Im with it!
"I'll take you ALL on!!!!!" Energy. 😂😂😂
Hi, today was the first day I’ve ever listened to this. Where do I put my credit card info? I feel like I owe someone money.
😆
Just listened to this now. When this guy started unison soloing with both hands I about lost it. Drummer and horn section are the tightest I think I’ve ever heard, honestly.
Links in the description to purchase the album if you want
@@CurtisL8.3066 yeah that's Cory Henry on the keys and if he didn't steal the show... wow!
hi, revisiting. Where are ppl getting this recommending this?
A Lingus a day keeps the doctor away.
Yes
True
PHRASING!
😂😂
Facts
The solo and the drummer and everything are awesome, but my favorite part is that turnaround at 2:48. Just always makes me smile
agreed, that horn hit on the and of 2 gets me every time
The entire section from 2:30 to 3:06 is 🔥
Every time I watch this video, I'm shocked at how fantastic this keyboard player is. There's a gigawatt lightbulb inside his brain, every neuron is connecting and sparking every moment with incredible brightness! I'm in awe!!!
By the way, his name is Cory Henry
The rest of the story: The band lost their drummer at the last minute. The band had a few days before the recording to LEARN all the songs - without a drummer !! Larnel Lewis (drummer) flew from the US to Europe and had A FEW HOURS to learn all the songs. I saw the band interviews and I'm still having trouble believing it. Check out the DVD.
Wow!!
YES! This is 100% true. I met Larnell, and he told the whole story; the other guys still talk about how amazing it was. He said it was the most exhausted he's ever been in his life, but it was really rewarding to be a part of. Larnell is one of the most decent and humble people I've ever met. Great dude, unbelievably talented.
Michael Sartori wait so the drummer on this video learned this song the same day as this recording? Or am i misunderstanding this?
@@makkrohero59 Yes. But... not just this song - ALL THE SONGS ! It's hard to believe because they are so tight it sounds like they have been playing the songs for weeks or months. The rest of the band had only a few days to practice before this recording. And notice, no sheet music or lead sheets. It's all by ear. They are all amazing. Buy it - "We like it Here." It's a DVD / CD 2 disc set. It's all the songs of this recording session, and a documentary of the tour and their off hours. Cool guys, and funny too.
Michael Sartori My god that is absolutely crazy. They’re so amazing
The true hero of the video is the solid keyboard stand
jbudlives
🤣
I know I was like that thing is holding strong!
lolololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cory Henry is the name
honestly, this may be the greatest piece of music ever recorded.
I have never spontaneously clapped at home watching TH-cam. Just happened. Daaaamn.
Sometimes I wish I was an innocent musician listening to this piece for the first time all over again...
That's me. Not so innocent, I guess. But appreciative. Shades of Chick Corea and Weckl in the keyboard section. AMAZING!
My virgin ears are here
This was my first time really paying attention to it and... wow. This stuff slaps.
Oh my god god, imagine
I can't imagine what it would be like being a new musician listening to this.
*Cory soloing*
Larnell: dont mind me, im just here losing all the liquid of my body
Haha
Nice profile picture :P
🤣🤣🤣
Luckily he has the juice, and receives the Sauce intravenously, so he doesn't need water
his sweat is sweating from his time keep skills
CORY AND LARNELL ARE FROM ANOTHER PLANET!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This kind of music is not for everybody. I can say people who can enjoy this is a true musician. This is beyond..
Cory Henry: _plays mind boggling solo_
Sean Martin: "ight imma head out"
Honestly, I think he left to avoid shouting in ecstasy at what he was hearing.
I love how at the end they hug each other like sportsmen who just set world record...
At around 9:25, the best part of the whole video is when Martin slowly shakes his head no, realizing he has just witnessed something not earthly. He was in pure admiration mode.
@@DrDaveVa61 Agreed! His appreciation for his bandmates is my one of my favourite parts of this band
He looks like he was thinking about quitting playing the keyboard...
Glad he didn't do that...
Everyone loves the keys solo but are we gonna talk about Larnell? The man is a machine.
th-cam.com/video/SvVld96DnbY/w-d-xo.html
@@silvereminence it’s not funny when someone promotes his channel this way. Please, stop
Larnell is not a machine! he's a natural wizard/shaman of rhythm and vibration!!! ;) xxx
Close to genius for me ;)
A Groove machine
To all the drum lovers out there trying to keep count...
YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!! ❤
Cory Henry initially a Hammond organist, but mastered synth soloing (quite different discipline) to perfection. He's definitely has superpower.
It really isn't that different from his organ stuff
Band: Hey Cory, which Key are you playing your solo?
Cory: Yes
Juan Mora Cory : all of them
😂😂😂❤
This makes me LOL!
YES! hahaha
all of them, for sure !
Seven things you might have missed during this video:
1. 0:01 - Contrary to popular belief, there is indeed sheet music, but only for the keyboardists to make sure they get that ridiculous rhythm in the intro correct. After that, it's all from memory.
2. 1:12 - There are two guitars playing that melody line. Just listening to the track, it only sounds like one guitar with a little bit of reverb on the right side. Nope, that's Bob Lanzetti and Mark Littieri playing so tightly together and with similar tone that it doesn't sound like two guitars.
3. 1:34 - Michael League signaling to the room that he's about to drop one of the nastiest bass fills ever - and then delivers one of the nastiest bass fills ever.
4. 7:15 - Shaun Martin realizing that he just needs to get out of the way of the freight train that is Cory Henry's solo. When Cory breaks into the two-handed unison lines, Shaun just says, "I'mma go back here and just watch."
5. 7:22 - The guys in the control room dancing and clapping during Cory's solo. This whole album was cut over four days with two sessions apiece, and I've seen a couple of Cory's other solos. This one was I think the fifth take, and the others don't compare; even the techies in the booth knew that this solo was otherworldly.
6. 7:28 - Shaun Martin gives one of those sideways "get outta here" waves as he sits with the audience. If you want a good laugh, just sit and watch his facial expressions during the entire solo, including the fill solos after the main one. Shaun is continually amazed by what Cory is playing.
7. 8:59 - Proving he's one of the baddest drummers on the planet, Larnell Lewis has to adjust his headphones and doesn't miss a thing. Minus one hand for a second and no one can tell.
Maybe you caught all those nuances on the first or second watch, but I've seen this video probably two dozen times and I pick up on something new every time I watch it. And, yes, as an old guy who is more emotional than I used to be, Cory's solo still makes me tear up. Friggin' amazing.
I'm crying for Cory's solo too!
@Bodmerocity Agreed . Fans and amateur musicians can tell it's an incredible solo, but I know the keyboard player to his right KNOWS exactly how good it really is and I love his reactions!
This is great, thank you
thx for saying everything my band teacher said lol
*8:58
Every SINGLE HUMAN BEING living on this Planet EARTH deserves to hear THIS WORK OF ART. This is the definition of using the talents that the Almighty God has given you 😭😭❤❤❤.
I assure you, nobody gave them anything. They worked for it and they worked hard.
@@baronvonsatan 🤨and then??
Today I listened to Snarky Puppy for the first time. The keyboardist just won his soul back from the devil and the devil offered him his own. Thanks to the drummer for bringing this beautiful insanity together while mixing in reams of his own. No superlative is going to do justice. The talent of the ensemble is elevated by their love for it and for each other's jam.
The more i learn about playing piano and music theory, the less i understand how this solo was possible
What the fuck is theory anymore? How does studying music theory lead to this?
@@demonspecialist67 music theory alone dont do anything !
I’ve been dying to meet someone who can intelligibly explain what to practice (scales, modes, harmonies, etc) in order to get to that point. I feel like cats at that level are just so in love with practice that some of them just develop this unexplainable talent.
Dude that's so true. Everything he's doing is so harmonically advanced
@@demonspecialist67 uh time signatures, octaves and so much more wtf you talking about? yeah you could do that without theory but understanding theory makes playing a piece like this was easier than if you dont know
That wasn't a solo.. That was a message from the Holy Spirit...
Word, totally agree
Amen
You can tell when his eyes connect🙌🏾
It was dirty anyway.
am I alive?! This can´t be real. Damn I got goosebumbs from the first note.
I can’t explain it but everytime I listen to this I don’t know what happens to me, I get so overwhelmed and I start tearing and this is what music is suppose to do. If I was watching this live I’d be laying on the floor ,on my back , looking at the roof and just listen. WOW just WOW
I just listened to this piece for the first time right here, right now and I was surprised to find myself tearing up. I don't know why it happened. But reading the comments afterwards and hearing that other listeners have had the exact same emotional reaction is simply beautiful. Thank you for your comment that allowed this moment of human connection.
This is just… the best video there is on TH-cam. Period. The fact tat this happened at some point in the world, and was recorded and filmed, is a sufficent reason to keep going with mankind.
cuz if we as a species can go 'there', there's no telling what's next and how much better it could be. (Pretty much feels like that's the case anyway these days) Great to be alive!
Annnnd I just saw it live yesterday. Incredible

They sold a lot of King Korg's because of this. I bought mine back in late 2015 because of it.
@@snuppssynthchannel: same
I know you're talking about the keyboard, but also, this crossover comes to mind:
"Hey man. I'm Cory. This is my friend Mike. We're gonna have a jam sesh. Wanna come? :)"
@@ShovelChef didn't print enough pamphlets.
Sure got em tickled.
You get double the entertainment value by watching Shaun's face go through the roller coaster of emotions watching Cory's solo.
+Josh Jones Right at 5:53 on
+Josh Jones i just love the progression.......
+Josh Jones of his emotions. to the point he just says ' right im outta business you guys dont need me here' and sits with the audience
+Josh Jones 7:24 "I'm out, man"
+Josh Jones 6:06. He's like, "what the hell are you doing? Ohh! That's what you're doing. Nice!"
Almost a decade later and you get so hung up on Corey’s transcendent solo, Larnell’s inhuman drumming, and Mike’s disgusting bass playing, that you forget one of the sauciest trumpet solos ever.
He starts like Patrice Rushen, then goes into Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea Land, then enters Herbie Hancock,Jan Hammer,Joe Zawinul and ends up as Cory Henry……love this love this love this…..been mesmerized by this since it was released years ago!!!!Makes me want to send a resume to Michael
I hear some George Duke from Zappa Helsinki Concert in there too
I'm positive Corey is from another planet.
When he fingers a girl she dies
Greatest comment on youtube
best comment ever.
GilPaulTO Isn't exactly an original comment
Yup
How the hell do you put a band like this together? Run an ad in the local PenneySaver? Craigs list? LOOKING: For the best musicians on the F-ing planet!
AMEN. INSANE.
most of them met at school i believe
To make it more insane, they usually have 2 or 3 sets of lots of the musicians at roughly same level that they rotate during their touring season. So they had 3 drummers on many tours (not at the same time), multiple guitar players, etc. Seem the bass player is the only (that I know of) truly constant in the band. He is the one leading the band in many ways.... Seen them multiple times never with the same musicians except the bass and trumpet/horn player.
Its called UNT jazz program. Insane elites up in that school lol
@@masondaalhuyzen5780 omg that can't be true, or it's Berklee music school lol
My late musician father would've loved this ❣️
10 years today this masterpiece was published here!

@@stevenpam You can see me at 10:26-10:30, the guy in the middle with light shirt and khaki pants 😃
Good Lord, Cory Henry destroys the foundations of time with that solo. I'm not even sure what's real anymore...
thank you for verbalizing what i couldnt after watching this!
I fully agree
radicalnights Yes indeed, exactly the same for me!!!! :D
have you seen the rest of the videos from this DVD? :)
Yes I fully love this album!!!
This shit makes me emotional, man. What a moment in musical history.
How this hasn't hit a 100 million views by now is testament to the trajectory of music. Then...100 years from now, it will be hailed as quite possibly the most legendary musical performance of the 21st century.
#GREATNESS
Probably bc for most average listener this is to intense and not easy to follow. Don’t get me wrong. I’m diggin this since it came out 😉
Absolutely insane that Larnell Lewis learned/composed the drum parts for this entire recording ON THE FLIGHT over to the Netherlands. No doubt Cory Henry is the star of the show in this song, but the idea that Larnell just walked off the plane, walked into the studio and went this hard on the drums is just mind-bending.
Well that's just jazz. The only thing he knows is what the form of the song is and what the melodies are. Nobody knew how long Cory's solo would be.
They both steal the show.
@@aqualili Speaking as a jazz musician, this is more like a big band chart than a combo chart, even though (as far as I know) there was no written music. There are many hits throughout the song that Larnell had to nail to make such an exceptional performance. For example, the horn stabs during the trading four solo section that he didn’t miss a beat on. Having been around this music a lot… I don’t know many people who could do this like Larnell did. He is a truly exceptional musician.
@@nathanaeldavenport2251 I was personally boggling at the syncopation that he kept up, and *at the right tempo* during Cory's improv. I've played instruments for over fifteen years now, and I found myself looking at my husband and going "I'd be over here going WHERE IS THE BEAT, CORY? and fighting the urge to speed up or slow down to match with him." That part was *chef's kiss*
Hitting the break at 4:18 leads to the look from Larnell Lewis to Michael League at 4:24, which can only be described as a knowing look: "Yes, I hit that weird transition to the ostinato part dead on." That was in the "shit eating grin" class of expressions!
I want someone who looks at me the way Shaun Martin looked at that keyboard solo.
Yes, with incredulity and envy.
You want someone to look at you with utter disbelief and the existential angst of sudden impostor syndrome?
Cory and Larnell some of the greatest musicians alive
I mean, can we please agree that this is a piece of jazz history? This is nothing less than one of THE great keyboard solos of the more recent jazz era. And yes, I am including people like keith jarrett, chick corea, you name them. This is absolutely unbelievable and I can't get enough of this.
I hope those instruments were over 18
best comment lmbo
you still dont know if that music was consentual.
they did not understand what they were getting into
No waaay , lmao , you made my day bro =))))))
-Jr- hahaha!
lets take a moment to remember the fact that Larnell Lewis learned this masterpiece on plane while going there.
Dedication
Now that was cool!!!!!
Wait... what?
i already took 4 moments for that from 4 older comments that said the same exact thing
Zappa would be proud! ❤
Greetings from Germany
Ocean of Soul brought me here. 👍🏾
Drums just boosted dude on keys to a new dimension
Truth....Larnell a titan.....
its like they are lifting each other every beat
@@ricardoleija4117 Truth....
And to think, per the documentary, he just got on board 3 days prior to the recording session. 🤯
I’ll never get over Larnell’s and Henry’s talent. If Jazz could kill this is definitely a massacre.
No a GENOCIDE
For real man, all their drummers are world class, i love JT and Sput but holy shit, as a drummer myself, Larnell style and powerful precision tickle my funny so good. What a amazing drummer.
doesnt even sound like jazz
jazz+funk=junk?
This is one of the greatest compositions of music and raw passion I've ever witnessed in my life. That keyboard solo felt inhuman, like it was poured directly from his soul, and the soul of an ethereal being. The whole thing brings tears to my eyes.
Cory Henry.... yes there is life on other planets. And they are highly evolved. His synth was unbelievable. Never gets old.
Imagine you playing drums that complex and hearing Cory Herny going off like that live in your monitor and keeping it cool and bringing dynamics into the equation. This is just Crazy.
Retire my sticks STAT. I'm a nobody with that kind of shit going on.
Maybe he's got 5 metronomes going on in that head of his
And doing it after learning the music less than 24 hours before the performance
Just a day at the office for Larnell!
and pushing back lol you see him LOVING what Larnell is doing
How the hell are we supposed to cover this song
Arpit Jain it's one of those that you just leave haha
You don't
Arpit Jain just have to sit down and learn to play along ;) it mostly fits into the B flat and E flat blues scale, but goes beyond chromatic with the pitch bends. There's literally no wrong note. just sit down at a keyboard and hit it.
I was the keys player in a band that covered this semi recently, and I've gotta admit I wussed out and passed the solo to our guitarist, the majority of it isn't that bad though. it's just keeping your thoughts in 5 that throws you at 1st
sorry to bother you, but would you mind explaining (or transcribing here) the rhythm cell they are using in the second half? I couldn't find a good explanation. thanks in advance
The face they make when Cory starts going berserk on the keyboard is just the best !
I'm so fucking grateful to have been able to listen to this in my life. Managed to feel things i haven't ever felt before, this is just something else entirely
The pianist and drummer absolute fucking blood brothers with the way they worked together to build tension in that piano solo. This is some incredible musicianship
The percussionist too.
the goosebumps I got from this
YES like you cant just do that to people!!
Larnell Lewis is an INCREDIBLE drummer. One of the best in the world, IMO.
Yeah, but it gets even better when you learn that they had hardly any time to practice :p Larnell Lewis has this incredible talent for managing song structure in his head, he demonstrates it on the Drumeo channel if I remember correctly. But I think the story here goes he listened to the songs a couple of times on the plane over. Maybe there was some rehearsal, but for sure not enough to justify this awesomeness, and yet, here we are.
Reminder, Larnell Lewis learned his whole set on his 7.5 hour flight to the show
That's so freaking crazy he's a genius!!
Yes, with the exception of 2 songs.
Wtf??
@@ejej_shej7958 There are videos on youtube where he plays songs after hearing them for the first time :)
He’s the guy in the piano right?
This is perfection. I can’t stop coming back to listen. Easily one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in my life. If you’ve ever played in a jazz band I feel like you can appreciate this on another level where words are not sufficient.
Cory Henry is a different beast. Larnell backing him up is just the icing on the cake. It's a perfect performance.
It’s like seeing the face of God
Cory's solo so good, all my lost left socks, and tupperware lids came back to see what I was listening to
Wait, this was written and arranged by that bass player?
What kind of aliens are these goddamn musicians?
that solo was all Cory Henry
🤣🤣🤣
Cuphead's ost (the game) was written by a drummer i think
And they all showed up not really knowing the songs... so crazy
@@tynannida9642 the drummer actually was added last minute because the other drummer couldn’t get his visa to travel and basically had to do everything improv lmaoo
In Cory's new masterclass video, he talks about how he was not feeling good on the day this take was recorded. The room was cold, he felt that he had run out of ideas for solos, and he said he actually preferred his solo from one of the previous takes. Sometimes adversity primes musicians for their greatest moments I guess.
he popped off after the main portion of his solo
My lesson teacher once told me he came to jazz band sick as a dog, stood up for his solo, nearly passed out, and proceeded to play what he thought was the laziest solo he's ever done.
His instructor stopped the piece after that to say, "That was the best solo you've ever given us. Whatever that was, more of that."
This is incredible. I cannot count how many times I listen to this again and again.
Same here , got to be double digits by now. The Cory Henry solo is a spiritual gift .... And Larnell Lewis spectacular !
I think I'm in triple digits. I wish TH-cam had a YouCounter. Badge of honor (or shame) on videos we just can't stop watching.
Is it just me or is Cory Henry just INSANE?!
I feel like we are only 25 musicians who have each listened to this 1 million times
Wait! But what about us “would be musicians”?!?!
We're 25 now
Yeah I might have recommended to a few friends.. 😳😳
Maybe I'm the fourth
Soon it's gonna be 26, I just found this masterpiece lol
Obviously Cory is unreal on this track, but I have to say the way Larnell uses every bit of his kit to build along with his solo is masterful, starting @5:25. It's perfect for the song and it's unbelievable that anyone can actually play it at all and nail it so perfectly. The fill at 8:26 is also one of my favorite ever. The way he catches the hi-hat in the middle and lands on the crash earlier than you expect him to and keeps going on with more crash hits where you would expect him to slide back into the pocket. It's hard to explain why it's so fucking good.
Yes! Great examples of Larnell's musicality. Also, how he nails the bass hits while adding a bit of extra punch at 8:29. Larnell plays a lot but it sounds like a texture where fills and grooves blend rather than just playing busy fusion stuff. So many gems hiding on the plain sight that one can find on this song and on this album!
His feel change to match the solo at 7:20 remains one of my favorite musical moments of all time.
Larnell and Cory are feeding energy to each other throughout the solo, just unreal.
Aaaaand, Larnell learned the song ON THE WAY TO THE SESSION! What a pro!
@@rickardoreid6620 Makes this even more unreal. Cory is a god here but Larnell is too
This tune will be bumped for millions of years
This was the first Snarky song I ever heard, and man did it blow me away.
Now listen to Trinity! 😀
