I only recently discovered this guy's works, and I'm blown away by the talent and discipline in his work, which is why I decided to take a moment to praise the hard work that Chris*Starr put into this.
I'm pretty sure I came to hear one of the most talented pianist of all time....and I have no idea who Chris*Star is..... I googled him and I still don't know....
@@camploismyalias Have you watched the video? I mean, not just listened to the audio? Then you will be blessed to experience Chris*Starr's full and uncensored artisanship.
But Flannagan had no time to look at it and no one could have it played back then. Cory is a very good player but he still owes his ass to the greats like TF. So stop talking shit please. ALL Of You Suckers.
Nobody can disagree on Cory Henry. He is one of those few artists that simply epitomize the true nature of music. Each chord reveals something about ourself. jazzfusiongodfunkstyle
search up joey alexander you'd be amazed with what kind of an amazing pianist have we been blessed with this generation. tho this guys is amazing too, very good.
Such a warm and deep sound. It fills me with inspiration and hope. I would love to be able to make sounds like this. Or to mess around on a nice keyboard for a few hours.
+Devante Porter saying so diminishes all those thousands of hours of hard practicing. he is a normal guy, but hes enormous practicing made him who he is now. big respect.
+Devante Porter While I do love this brothers creativity , the word genius is like the centipede with one hundred legs. Its not, that the centipede can count to one hundred, but its that those around him can only count to ten.
@@camerontaylor1255 No, its just on TH-cam as far as I know. For some reason I can't paste links tonight! So search these words; Cory Henry Quartet Giant Steps ( a red lit stage) but he plays the same arrangement with some Snarky Puppy people (You know them? Search 'Lingus' OML!) Search; Giant Steps Cory Henry Snarky Puppy Another version, similar arrangement. And I just add Cory playing a tribute to the late great artist Prince. If the previous vids left you jumpy, this is full of his love and warmth. Search Cory henry Purple Rain Metropole Orchestra There's a documentary which is great. See him play at FOUR years old. Or any of his gospel playing. It's all beautiful. All this is on TH-cam.
Such melodic lines! I personally hear a lot of Keith Jarrett in there too because he doesn't always find it necessary to make his lines swing, but when he wants to, it swings so hard!
Good Job Cory, keep educating us through your gifts. Its always a pleasure to listen to you create and demonstrate possibilites. Grow us. God is with you. Amen.
Corey is uniquely golden ,even on any tone of tune, and which is why, he is on his stardom route, with big names and talented little names, and a humble guy, so haters, you do your job and continue hating, God got his back
Seems like an odd match. Cory is a funk god and Joey plays straight jazz. It will be great seeing Cory play with Vulfpeck...and that is likely to happen at RED ROCKS on May 9, 2019.
I love how the funny/shitty synth sound at the end reinforces that all of this was really just improv...nothing serious for Cory. Dude is a true prodigy.
I love this tune and it must never go away! This cat id doing it his way and keeping it going. Fresh and through his life experience. The artist must be able to translate the music in his own space. Thanks all concerned for this offering
So niiiice......what I love about Corey, is that he's always 'in the moment'. Just flowin' and killin'.....flowin and killin'......Keep up the good work Man!!!
Positive or negative, this guy is a total beast! Sounds like some people wouldn't appreciate musical genius if it come up and slapped them in the face...
@Joey Tullis I mean it does make a difference between the music you play, classical music like the guy did needs proper attention and understanding of the audience, while some other types like jazz could just be enjoyed on the way too. Busking is like traditional patreon, so you do have to know the environment. It's not simply "Oh look hurr I play violin for ppl hurr durr notice me senpai hurrdd"
if you aren't at least this good in 2022, I cant hear you....I'll just go back the listening to Art Tatum and Miles and Coltrane and Elvin Jones, jimmy Smith etc.....
Cory Henry could make a stylophone sound good. Pure genius with them chords - he changes key practically every bar - live long enough to share your music with everyone.
Sorry Guys! I just threw away everything I thought I knew about playing piano/keyboard and my keyboards. I am officially giving up on music and joining El Chapo's crime syndicate. I might be better at it. LOL! Pure Genius
John Benoit yes, totally agree. There's a Snarky Puppy tune, where the brass play a line and then, very very delicately, Corey plays in unison with the horns. Just like George, he makes Rhodes and Moog blend so well with brass. If (yeah, it's a huge 'if') if Frank Zappa were alive and making music now, I'd like to think Corey would be in that band.
Glen Amaddy Haha, yes, I'd love to agree but somehow I think the devout christian Cory Henry and the profoundly atheistic Frank Zappa would not work together happily. Sad, for I love them both (and the late great George).
Stewart Gartland I think you underestimate Frank. He may not of believed in god in the traditional way of thinking, but he believed in music, you get me? You think with his italian background, for example, Steve Vai was anything other than a catholic? I think Zappa was intelligent enough to know when to put that aside for the sake of music.
John Benoit I hear where you are coming from, but Frank never rammed his beliefs down the throats of people he didn't think deserved it. Atheism as we know it is a newish fad anyway and I think it's proliferation is as much to do with controlling people as organised religion was/is, so I'm not sure Frank would of been one of those new age humanists. Still, it's an academic discussion as Corey can't jam with the great FZ, mores the pity!
John Benoit I agree, I think Frank would of seen the current trend for what it is, an further attempt to control people by issuing a belief system. I'm betting he'd of been gun ho against it! Not to get into all of that, but it was Zappa who tipped me off against Al Gores global warming film. Tippa Gore famously clashed with Zappa over free speech. When Al Gore starts going all groovy and 'save the earth'; on us, I just thought 'so an anti free speech advocate marries a left wing 'save the whales' hippy in a corporate suit?!?' I knew that movie was bull from the word go, thanks to Frank!
You don't know how people interprete like/dislike. If it's about the playing, easy 'like' all day, most people can't play this tight even with a drummer. If I judge the "DEMO" it's a straight up dislike! It's basically a DEMO of a Kronos, with the ARP having a little guest role of a minute or so. I have gained almost no knowledge from it, he did not show if it can sequence or what, and barely got a glimpe of how broad the sound spectrum of the thing is, does it have envelopes? LFO's? FX? I don't know! When you learn more about the thing by looking at it's box, your demo is bad. It is called the ARP, and we get no arppegiator sound at all? wut? I bet he could have done some sweet arp latches on upper triads super imposed over the changes, but we don't hear it! It's like demoing a coffee machine, but just smell it, and not taste it.
This is the most chill tempo Giant Steps ever
it's actually in the same as the original
Check out George Shearing's version of Giant Steps! It's also at a really relaxed tempo, and they play it unswung as well!
the way Tommy Flanagan thought it should've been
@@oldboy9267 it's actually half as slow as Coltrane. But it sounds just as good if not better.

Only the great CHRIS*STARR could've Produced and Recorded this masterpiece
We agree.
Holy shit I can't believe Cory Henry got privilege of being in a Chris*Starr recording! This cat's going places!
LUV that electric piano sound ... goes down so easy.
This owns so hard.
"Giant Steps" is NOT easy to play solo, but he blew it away.
YUP!! not easy!! correct me if i'm wrong but Giant Steps modulates to 3 different tones in the whole standar? am i right?
giant steps is not easy to do period
He Pics good Synths.

My girlfriend asked "Is this guy blind?" Lol
ROFL! :D
Since Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder: Soulful black dude behind a keyboard with sunglasses on = blind
as a matter of fact, Cory is barely looking at the keyboard whilst playing, which enhances that "blindness" feeling
thats pretty racist low key lol

This really should have been a Chris*Star recording.
i've been so deep into giant steps memes that i forgot it was actually a real and very beautiful piece legit
Thank you Chris*Star for bringing life to this once cold planet!!
Genius at work! Every time I hear this it's gorgeous. I'm glad I had a chance to see him close up in my area.
thank you for playing a transcription of my playing, cory... means a lot
