Cory Henrys keyboard solo is a modern jazz achievement, it’s in the history books! Hands down
combination of Bernie Worril of Parliament Funkadelic and the late great Chick Corea. Dude on another planet man.
It still trips me out that not everyone has seen this.
After having seen it.. yeah I don't know how youtube hides this away from anyone who has ever seen an instrument. It's nuts
Well, that video does have over 25 million views and counting, so fortunately more and more people are waking up to them. :)
It's obvious the guy had seen the video before tho. Eg. 2:02 he instantly changes his head movement from 1/4 notes to 1/8th notes when the beat changes, obviously he knew the change was coming.
@@c.l.368 yeah it clearly isn´t his first reaction. But at least he is not claiming that in the title.
I never get tired of seeing people get their minds blown by this. Just amazing musicianship in everybody involved, and DAT keyboard solo...
You guys are just smashing this video. I didn't expect that reaction.. I mean I just wanted to share my thoughts on this, but didn't really expect anyone to care about it. Its just crazy to see how many music loving people have come together under this video. It probably won't be the last time you hear me say this but THANK YOU for checking out the video! I'll try to respond as much as possible - let me know what you're thinking!
It’s one of those situations where you see and hear new elements in the performance for the first six or seven times you view it...
What I find amazing about this is that Mike League walked in to the studio on a Monday with nothing composed , by Thursday he had 8 songs composed and every musician literally had 3 days or less to rehears.
I dont know how 15 different musicians got together and have a perfect chemistry, but I am so glad it happened.. A true piece of musical art that I will never tire of listening to.
Love Michael League's bass fill during the brass solo's, so tasty! No one ever mentions it.
Yes!! It's maybe (most definitely) my bass player bias showing, but Mike League does a couple things in this track that really creates the sauce as I'm concerned. I mean, other than composing and arranging it.
When they go back into the main theme after the first guitar interlude about 3:53 in this video his bass fill is just nasty, then about 10 seconds later he chooses to double the horn line. So simple and fleeting, but something about how on top of the beat the horns are and how that line was slid in just a millisecond behind the beat just drips the whole song in stank and swag for me.
When this album came out, I listened to it every day for almost 2 years. And still to this day I still get a bit teary eyed listening to this song. The energy put forth in this song is unparalleled.
Can definitely relate, I discovered the whole band a few months ago and listened to that very song for an entire night, out of awe.. To this day, tears always show up during the solo, that's an out of this world artistic performance
@@simon76def I saw it seven years ago and I still tear up during the solo.
And there it is... That face of ANGUISH... you can't handle all of it at once (especially the first time). It's almost painful but SO FUCKING SATISFYING. NO piece of music has maintained this level of power EVERY time I listen to it. I need to wipe my eyes of tears each time because it's so overwhelming. Absolute masterpiece.
YES YES YES!!!
I want to hear this track when I'm laying on my death-bed. . I would die a happy man!
Spot on.
As someone else has said: there is an esoteric, vicarious pleasure in watching others watch Lingus for the first time and rendered speechless. The finest live to disc recording of this century and is as much a visual as an aural feast.
It's so wonderful to see someone react to the keyboard solo for the first time it's quite nostalgic really like- oh I remember how that felt!! 😊😊
I can relate to that now - but even after rewatching it it still blows my mind. You just zone out and let Corey take you away. Incredible stuff!
As a drummer, Larnell Lewis is god! He learned the whole album on a 7 hour flight! That keyboard solo was absolute fire! 🔥 awesome reaction brudda!
I still can't wrap my head around that. He learned that album ON A FLIGHT. It would be different if it was a punk album for example, but what he does here is just absolutely stellar. He's insane!
@@SoyanOsman Larnell is top tier for sure!
@@SoyanOsman he had several videos in the drumeo TH-cam channel he listen the song once and play it perfectly he is a genius
@@SoyanOsman correction he WROTE that album on a 7 hour flight. He was sent drumless MP3s to listen to as he flew over seas. He arrived with charts he wrote on the flight. He got the call Sunday night, flew to Holland over night, recorded in Holland on Monday with music that still wasn't even written as of the prior Thursday.
Watch the "We Like it Here" documentary to me truly amazed.
The more I listen, it's like Larnell is playing keys too, and Corey is percussing, like they are matching plays and riffing off each other in merging duet hence that wild connecting yay that Corey gives. "Keep going. You get it! Higher! Closer!" Someone said it's like everyone is playing solos in perfect harmony. Corey heads off to Andromeda and Larnell could not have written it all out in advance. Much is improv.
Lil Dickey on that bass guitar.
That's what I was thinking!!
It's bass player Michael League's band; he writes and arranges most of their songs!
Cory, Larnell, Michael, and the rest kill this tune - but the one part I never see mentioned is the second half of Maher's trumpet solo when hits "that" note and lingers just long enough to make me uncomfortable before resolving - love that . . .
The look on Jennings's face says it all.
@@bovice5072
Don't think I'd really noticed that before - eyes up and to the left - a polite and discrete "hmm . . . interesting choice there"!!
True.. and also cue another reason why I love this band: you always find a new detail in there. This part honestly flew past me because I simply do not know enough about trumpets to be surprised but once you know.. well then you surely notice!
People seeing this performance for the first time is always a thing of beauty. Such a masterful piece.
I really dig that blown-away feeling I get when I see real musicians react to this session; the more one knows about music, the more astonishing these pieces are, and you conveyed that the whole way through!
EXACTLY this is why I love snarky puppy! It tends to sound simple but once you take a closer look it's just ridiculous - they make great music for anyone but it's incredible to anybody who knows a bit about music. It's super rare to find artists who manage to do that split
@@SoyanOsman I was wondering, during your first pause talking about the tightness of the guitar sound, no strings noise etc, did you realise 2 guitars were playing it in unison? (or maybe I'm wrong?)
Larnell Lewis= Drummer LITERALLY learned songs in a day
Larnell is a music god. Period.
You were here before me beast
* two hours not a day
@@frodowatt4272 eh it was over a 7 hour flight
He jus went there and played.... NO REHEARSAL WITH THEM!!! He only heard the set on a 7 hour flight
I love Snarky Puppy and have several of their albums, but honestly, they've never come close to what Lingus is. I think there was something supernatural that happened during that song, because it's beyond amazing. I can listen to it on repeat for an hour straight and never get tired of it. As a keyboardist, watching and hearing Cory Henry's solos (the main one and his fills during the outro sections) makes me wonder why I even try. Stupid good. Thanks for your reaction - or lack thereof verbally, because the song speaks for itself and if someone doesn't get how special this song is, well then, they just don't get music. Peace.
This is jazz fusion. Structurally it is closest to jazz, but as you said, there's all sorts of funk and soul influences. Cory Henry, the keyboardist here is an organist, and is very heavily involved in soul and gospel.
These guys are crazy good. The bass player Michael League composed it all. You should watch Larnell learns a song. lol
I am so happy....all of you musicians were BORN, I really do. I love you guy's parents, for birthing such amazing musician specialists into this mundane world of hell. Life became tolerable from just experiencing this intricate musicianship and master class contribution. I don't understand why music does to the brain and spirit as it does. But I NEED it and can't balance out my life without it. It's another language another form of LOVING someone if thee creators want it to be. For my mental health.....please stay safe and healthy.
But let's be clear, those horns were wicked especially the overlapping solos. Those boys are monsters!
Dude I just watched this for the 1st in awhile like a month ago, and holy shit. This might be my favorite video on TH-cam, the passion and composition in this is just out of this world. I’m a guitarist and musician as well, the amount of talent they all have is out of this world!
The genre is called Jazz-Fusion.
when he said SP's style is Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rock all mixed up I was thinking "i guess that's the fusion part of the genre" :-)
One of the many things I love about this recording is that there is piano playing with the drum pattern for pretty much the whole song and they never show it being played.
I love seeing someone react how I did the first time I heard this.
Now I'm just an addict who has to see/hear it about 5 times a day. My mind is continually blown by it.
Hi from Japan,
As others have pointed out, if forced to give this a label, I guess 'jazz fusion' ... or just plain 'jazz'. If the word 'jazz' sounds old fashioned, it is probably because the word has been used to describe a variety of styles from Dixieland to swing, to bebop, to hard bop, to cool, to third stream, smooth, and so on. The use of electric instruments is probably the dividing line between traditional 'jazz' and 'fusion'. For those not familiar with this genre, a few of my favorite standouts which have a similar feel to Lingus include:
1 - Chick Corea and Return to Forever ... Vulcan Worlds th-cam.com/video/RycYchunTKc/w-d-xo.html
2 - Herbie Hancock Headhunters - Hang Up Your Hang Ups (Live VSOP) ... th-cam.com/video/VErtzRe98Ic/w-d-xo.html
3 - Weather Report - Havona ... th-cam.com/video/sMQUFvv0WRY/w-d-xo.html
4 - Pat Metheny Group - First Circle ... th-cam.com/video/PVBoDx_1dTc/w-d-xo.html
This is fusion. Elements of jazz, funk, Afro, Caribbean, Latin, and probably others. Whatever. It’s 🔥!
Love watching Cory Henry take people’s heads clean off! 🤣
It's just nuts. Definitely one of my fav. Songs I've discovered this year and after looking at my Spotify wrapped it also seems like I spent quite some time with it as well
I like watching reaction videos to this because it reminds me of how much joy I had the first time I watched it.
same here, this is one of the better ones.
I really appreciate your reaction to the solo being 'holy crap I can't pause this!'. And then when the solo ended you *could* have paused, but the flow was just too good so you didn't. This is one of those songs I wish I could un-listen and then re-listen for the first time.
10:35 - 10:45 encapsulates the brilliance of Snarky Puppy and this tune. At the climax of a breathtaking solo, Corey gives Larnell the merest of glances: “I’m coming out.” Then Larnell plays in the horns for the “trading fours” outro. Everybody acting as one organism. The result of years of tireless work and study. I’m not sure music gets any better than this
There's also a video of him learning a song pretty much on the spot. It's absolutely mesmerizing seeing how he is able to deconstruct a song in his head as he hears it and just knows exactly what he should do at any given moment.
Thank you so much for giving them your time and opinion.
Oh for sure! This was way too much fun, honestly!
What About Me from the same session has a really interesting but cool guitar solo
More Snarky Puppy is always good - seems like a have quite a bit of stuff to check out!
Calling it interesting kinda seems like an understatement to me lol
That song is phenomenal, especially from a guitar standpoint!
@@boonerichardson1639 Jep agreed, just checked it out on the channel as well!
It’s all great inspiration All great players Just love the vibe
I recommend you to listen the keyboardist band Cory Henry and the funk apostles NPR tinny desk concert he is not only a genius playing the keyboards but also have a very impressive singing voice
Snarky Puppy is jazz / funk, all sorts, really. This tune has got some latin jazz drums, funky ass bass lines, jazzy horns, some of those 80s phat synths for background keys; all sorts, really.
the drummer learned this song over a flight of like 1-2 days bc their actual drummer had visa issues im pretty sure
I pretty much went down the rabbit hole with this band as well - if this story is true (and it looks like it is) then its just plain ridiculous. I've seen a video of him learning a song after hearing it once and its just nuts. Especially if you don't have your instrument to at least get a feel for things, but It seems like you don't need that anymore at his level
The best way I can describe this is a big band and funk band setup playing jazz fusion.
We call it Jazz Fusion🤓 Awesome reaction!
With you all the way!
You asked about genre. Many of us from the beginning of Fusion in the 1970’s would classify this as Jazz-Fusion. You might want to listen to some Brecker Bros., Bob Berg, etc. these are clearly Jazz players who have also listened to Rock, Prog Rock and perhaps some Pop aesthetic. Over all you have the elements of many “classic” Jazz Fusion bands - horns, keys and synths, piano, bass, drums, percussion, and off course guitars.
Would love a react to the guitar solo from "What About Me?" from the same album/session
I got you! Check out my reaction video playlist - I recently uploaded one to that song as well :)
I would call this group modern jazz fusion.
Great reaction! Very similar to my own, even after seeing a lot of Snarky Puppy videos and swing them live. This performance is just so far beyond what mere mortals should be capable of!
You've seen them live?? How was it? And you nailed it with your description, everything is just so flawless, so spot on, being in that room must have been amazing
It was awesome, an old music theater in Frederick, MD, before they got too well known. It was a great show, but it was before they had Lingus in their repertoire. This song is their absolute pinnacle!
Oh yeah, and it's jazz. It's just jazz. This is jazz musicians doing what they have always done - taking the popular music of the day and making it more fun and challenging to play. Fusion isn't a thing - it's just jazz being marketed to people who didn't think they liked jazz.
The style of the song is jazz fusion
Nice video bro! This is one of my favorites videos of all time. I want to recomend you Zildjian Live! - Larnerll Lewis. This is the Drummer from this video.
Thanks for thinking about the flow/experience of the video when pausing, not every reactor does that. I and many others watch these to watch some of our favorite videos along another person, and just when you´re getting into it they pause the video at the best part.
The bar has been set!!!
Snarky Puppy makes me just say "yeah, I make music too" . Michael League is the bassist/ band leader / composer of the song.
I know that feel. You think you're good and then you watch this and go like "well.. I guess I was wrong"
Ck out snarky puppy family dinners both #1 and 2 musicianship with an amazing cast of set in vocalists your journey is just beginning young explorer
I haven't heard these yet - I'll definitley have to check those out for sure!
Something by Lalah Hathaway is incredible
Soyan!! MrBeast pulled your name out from a jar and gave you a shoutout!!! Get ready to blow up dude!! 🤘
Absolutely unreal
Speechless 😮
I literally had the same reaction you did, the whole band is phenomenal.
There's rarely a band that can blow you away like that right? Its crazy once you find one like that
Fusion bruh!! Welcome!
YES! FInally! Thanks - I hope there's more great stuff other than Snarky Puppy
That's right
@@SoyanOsman Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nucleus, some of Billy Cobham's work, some of Herbie Hancock. This is a good place to start.
Amazing
The genre is fusion. Like modern jazz fusion.
Modern fusion jazz
This is Jazz Fusion (Rock/contemporary/etc..). I have been listening to stuff like this for 40 years. Check out Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Return to Forever, Weather Report. There is a wealth of great music out there.
Shaun Martin pulls his headphones off the moment he realizes he needs to work on his left hand!!! (Not a dig - Cory Henry's left hand in that solo is freaking god like).
Congratz on the Mr.Beast shoutout
👏👏👏😂I'm with you and feel you🎉
i would love to see you react to sleeper next :D
Shaun Martin (the guy crying next to Cory Henry) absolutely slays the talk box!
Talk Box, Vulfpeck - weeeell seems like I have no choice then :D
It's a fusion of a various music genre.
If you enjoy groovy stuff like this I'd also recommend the funk band Vulfpeck and their performance of "Cory Wong" at Madison Square Garden (the song is named after their guitarist, wearing a striped shirt in that video). It's tons of fun.
Also, Cory Wong, the guitarist, has a lot of great music with his own band.
I LOVE groovy stuff - I've seen Cory's name float around everywhere but I actually haven't spent time checking out Vulfpeck, so that could be quite interesting! I'll get on that as well - thanks for checking out the video!
@@SoyanOsman Vulfpeck is what I listen to the most these days (besides Leprous, but that's completely different). Cory Wong is probably my favorite rhythm guitarist right now. for something that showcases him a bit more in the forefront, I'd recommend "FrogVille" by him.
He also has a song that heavily features Joe Satriani called "Massive"
Cory Henry plays with Vulfpeck occasionally.
Yes. I had the same reaction @4:38
Jazz fusion and funk
AAAAAA HAYIRLI OLSUN
If any music can be called "fusion jazz" then this is it.
12:29 and that's what music can do.
Look for another artist named Jacob Collier... coincidentally he performs a song with Snarky Puppy... a love song in 14/4 called, “Don’t You Know”, which also features Big Ed Lee on Sousaphone
*Who else is here from Mr.Beasts Rewind?*
Jazz Fusion/ Jazz Funk Rock
That is Jazz Fusion. Listen to the( yellow jackets ). Hope that helps
Sounds like you found a new genre to check out! Welcome to my favourite part of music! I would recommend A "cover" of "In a sentimental mood" by Steps ahead and if you want to check out a similar ganre, Progrock, then Spocks beard and neal morse band (with drummer Mike portnoy from Dream theater and other crazy dudes). Sadly not much of NMB on youtube and the best songs is not even on spotify.
As a guitarist the track 'What about me' has to be you next reaction.
Ok I hear you, lets see what that one is about. I'll try this one next!
I call it ' Fusion Jazz ' like Pat Metheny group ~
yeah the drummer and that keys solo slays but the trumpet solo dude. yhe fucking trumpet solo
This style is call fusion jazz
Funky Fusion Jazz? Amazing.
100%. Thats raw talent right there
Contemporary fusion would be the genre I would say? Jazz/funk fusion something along those lines
Exactly, that is fusion. Listen to some Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Nucleus.
Shofukan next pls
Sounds good! I'll try to make a video on that as well!
It's called fusion for a reason.
I was told the genre was called Jazz Fusion.
Man you have to check out the benny greb vic firth performance! Insane groove and amazing guitar solo :)
The genre is super easy to describe, fusion right
This reaction vid was cool. Very respectful. But you HAVE TO come back with another one on Lingus. Stop it whenever you feel you want to point out anything. The way you did this one... gave this one so much respect, makes me WANT to hear YOUR comments throughout the whole performance. So, PLEASE, come back again on this!!!!
Genre is Jazz fusion 😊
This track I would say has a very strong prog influence, I've heard a lot of people say this sounds very much like a band called Dream Theater.
Tbh, I feel like the songwriting on this one is better or let's say more accessible than a lot of Dream Theatre stuff. Their music is amazing as well, but Snarky Puppy seems to be easy listening while being ridiculously complex at the same time, which is really not easy to pull off. Thanks for watching!
@@SoyanOsman Dream Theater was more of a reference point, there's Afrobeat on the track Jambone and a Latin/Brazilian feel Tio Maccaco, We Like it Here is an album that has a bit of everything..may suggest What about me as you next reaction (Hint Hint!).
For a really cool solo that could be construed as fusion-ey, try Under a Glass Moon. The solo comes in at 4 mins 36 seconds, though I'd recommend the whole song.
5 Consecutive Reactions to Lingus and My face face has “STANK” all 5 times 🔥🔥
What is the name of the background song that you have at the end when you started talk about the video.. ?
Thank you
you just said it, contemporary jazz
Looks like I'm into contemporary jazz then. Thats another thing I didn't think I'd ever say
been trying to figure out the time signatures today.
I think the start is 5/2 ...seems to make most sense to me like that. Then with the faster horn section stuff going to the guitar riff is 5/4 with phrases half as long, then back to the first theme in 5/2.
The solo through to the end actually being 4/4 surprised me though, could not figure it out at all for so long. had to work backwards from the end. Now when there's just the kick and piano and the k/b solo starts I can just feel the underlying 4/4 but it's so difficult! Am a musician but not Jazz, is not second nature to live on the off-beat ;-)
edit: Just saw Soyan get to the solo part and he's nodding with the 4/4 immediately. respect.
Just 5/4 and 4/4.
Needs the Brecker Bros!
the genre is music ;)
Not sure what this is. It is jazz. I call it, FFF. Funky, Filthy, Fusion. Even this does not describe it. It is just wonderful to listen to.
Check out the Russian version of Michael League's writing COMBINED with Corey Henry's level of playing in ONE PERSON... Valeriy Stepanov: Try "Hold Onto Hope" one of his compositions, played with his brother on bass, and the amazing Russian *guitarist* Roman Bondarenko... - th-cam.com/video/qq2tu-vAOns/w-d-xo.html
Stepanov's right hand has to be cybernetic to arpeggiate like that... This guy is somehow the world's best kept secret of Funky Jazz Fusion MASTERY as you'll find DOZENS of his compositions all with HOOK, and him playing with a who's who list from Bondarenko to Martin Miller and even Alex Hutchings as well as with Chick Corea before he passed away! He also does covers ranging from Lyle Mays to Michael Jackson!
I will call this contemporary jazz fusion.
Larnell Lewis is Gadd, William's, Cobb, and Beast Mode Rich in one body.
Fusion.
Funky Jazz
