Rest in peace Shaun Martin, one of the greatest to ever do it. Thanks for making me smile and cry time and time again with your beautiful playing, we'll miss ya:(
beasty108 Yes I agree with you. The way he coordinates his parts with Larnell is just phenomenal. He adds a nice flavor to the music. He works with the drummer instead of over playing the drums. My definition of a great percussionist!
RangerEspino45 Was just thinking the same.... Ha ha.... He nails his bits, never drifts over into the silent gaps, really good..... Was saying t6o mate earlier the very same thing!!
@@broor The sounds comes through the tube and he shapes what it sounds like with his mouth, thats why he is constantly moving his lips which looks kinda like singing
@@larklark2472 but i mean. why does it look like he is using his voice when all he has to do is shape his mouth. he wouldnt need to make that face if he isnt singing that high note
@@broor A lot of players sometimes like to vocalize what they're hearing as they play it. It's a bit of an ear training thing, but he could also just be getting really into it. The talkbox itself is incapable of recognizing pitch inputs
I just watched "Lingus" a bunch of times, and now I learn that the guy just losing it next to Cory Henry's soloing on that one is five-time Grammy winner Shaun Martin who is capable of doing THIS to a talk box. What the hell?
@Lap Joint: Likewise - saw his reactions on 'Lingus' and many times, I just look out for him - I knew only a guy with this level of depth could be moved to take off his head phones and take a walk in the middle of Cory Henry's soloing. ....Then he does this, 'in revenge' - It does not get any better - brutal. These guys have something 'Xtra' in their DNA. Great Band, great guys, great music. Treasured Gift to the World.
I've listened to this at least 50 times and this is the FIRST TIME that I've heard the echo effect that Shaun does with the talk box at the end of each of his phrases in the intro. It's so subtle and my brain exploded with how phenomenal that microscopic extra layer is. 0:26 and 0:45 for reference. watch his mouth and you'll REALLY be able to hear it and then you won't be able to unhear it!
I feel like the horn players aren't mentioned enough in these videos, they're so smooth and in sync, the way they drive most of the songs just gets to me, so powerful
They’re SUPER tight with some extremely tricky syncopated entrances. Like on Lingus, they’re regularly coming in with sixteenth-note-level precision that changes up phrase to phrase, and it’s always razor sharp
@@LAK_770 I know I'm 2 years late but. My musical theory knowledge is basically nil so I'm not able to pick up on intricate things like this, or rather I may pick em up but simply don't realise what's happening. But one thing is for sure, I've played enough music in my life to know that these guys are the real fucking deal. The fact that it always sounds as tho one person is playing baffles me.
You know, during Cory's solo in Lingus, I was astonished as I admired the skill and ability to play the piano. But here, I mean HOLY FUCKING SHIT, the level of emotion Shaun brings in his play is unbeliveable. My eyes were watery and there was no room left on my skin which wouldnt be covered in goose bumps :) THANK YOU!
Just saw them in Seattle and he was so animated and fun to watch. Thought he should have lost his stocking cap. Must have it glued on. His solo for this one was so more dynamic than this recording
Shaun Martin's face is a highlight of this entire DVD, if not all their performances. Just watching him watching every other musician is a treat in itself.
Listen, this is the guy with epic reaction in Cory’s solo in Lingus. We all know that moment. But here he is, pulling out this piece like nothing... The key is how you humble yourself. And keep the amazed spirit fire inside you.
I met Shaun at the first GroundUp music fest in 2017. He was THE BEST. So much fun to talk to. SO MUCH positive energy and enthusiasm. Undoubtedly the heart and soul of Snarky Puppy; the man who got the audience off their asses and made the show SO MUCH fun. No words for how genuine his soul was and how much I already miss him. Take care, Shaun.
My father who was also my best friend died 3 months ago, i wasn’t able to react and was completely numb until three days ago when i heard this masterpiece for the first time. I dont know if they’ll every read this, but i wanna say to every musician involved especially mr. Shaun martin , please know that your art healed a part of my soul, thank you.
I'm a metal head and good lord this still one of my favorite things. I'm a drummer, and this drummer is my freaking hero. These guys are up in my favorites with guys like periphery. Amazing musicians.
Loved this tune because it showcases Shaun..as I'm writing this in 2023 there's been no word since he was hospitalized and I pray he's okay. Until then I'll continue to enjoy this tune.
Noooooo! I'm just learning about Shaun, but I just found this awesome group of musicians not that long ago.... This hurts my heart ❤️. Rest in peace Shaun..We love you but hardly knew you!
@Mikael Palm that is not a legend, I met him, asked him, he said exactly this thing (about the flight, did not mention Sput). I still do not get it though.
The selflessness of these guys is impressive. When I saw that the writer is Mike Mahler, I scrolled down to see that he's the Trumpet player. It's really not typical for musicians to write songs that don't feature themselves, but Snarky does it regularly. Speaks to Michael League's leadership. KUDOS!
That's one of the things that inspires me the most about Snarky Puppy. Namely the fact that each and every member is an astonishing soloist when they're in the spotlight. But they spend most of their time building eachother up when it's someone else's time to shine.
Can't believe the soloist is gone. I loved this song so much in 8th grade. Now 5 years later he's dead. Rest easy, Shaun Martin. This song is gorgeous.
This passing brought tears to my eyes ............his music and his energy was so great !! -- The world is less for his being gone now ....... God Bless him and also take care of any family he left behind .......... RIP Shaun - your talents were truly immense and God given ....
I love seeing people laughing in the background. You know they aren't laughing because something is funny, it's because they are in complete shock and awe that these guys have as much talent as they do.
The crescendo at 4:27 gives me the chills every damn time. Probably the best crescendo I've heard. The feeling and the intensity.... that's just on another level.
This is a masterpiece, held together and amplified by Shaun Martin. Thank you Shaun for the joy I and many others have felt through listening to and watching this. Just stunning. Rest easy bro.
+Deep Luigi Same thing here man. It makes me want to live longer to hear more of these incredible performances ! Not that I didn't want to live long before, but see what I mean..I've just discovered these guys and I'm in awe. I'll be listening to a lot of snarky puppy in the near future !
+zappalives just found them today! I have been going to concerts and fests since 2005 and love all types of music. these guys are just amazing! Much love to you both!
I just found out because of the comments 😢 I didn't get to see him live but he definitely marked my life and music in general, rest in peace snarky pug
Patrick Bourke did you know that the goosebumps you get during a song is because of the brain releasing endorphins in anticipation of the climax of the song
I don't care what anyone says, Shaun is very HIGHLY UNDER RATED!. anyone can play a synth, but only a select few, can "become one" with it. R.I.P Mr. Martin. respect 🎹🎶
The fact that you're listening to exactly what they were listening to when they recorded this makes it such an interactive viewing experience! Pure magic
They are laughing because: "One funny little thing about this recording... Larnell actually enters with that epic Phil Collins-ish fill (Chris McQueen’s idea, by the way) into letter K one bar early. I frantically shook my head at him during the take, and like a total pro, he continued filling into a second bar like it was all part of the plan. A few seconds later, there is a shot on the DVD showing the two of us cracking up. Major “phew” moment there. ! So now, officially- the fill is 2 bars."
Shaun Martin that's his name!!, I only heard about him today! (In new Zealand), r.i.p Shaun on behalf of the world thanks for sharing your music with us ❤🎶🎹🎼
RIP Shaun.I saw Snarky Puppy play live in April of last year and I went with a copy of Seven Summers and waited to meet him. He took a lot longer to come out after the rest of the band, but when Michael saw that I had his album he ensured he'd come out. He was super excited to see that I had brought *his* album to the show. I let him know how optimistic his music made me and he basically told me "that's what it's all about" He made his music to make people feel good and he absolutely nailed it. He will be missed very much by me.
Larnell Lewis (the drummer) had to learn most of the songs on a sudden flight over when the previous drummer's passport was found to be expired. He got a few hours' practice with the band before taping. I've never met him, don't expect to, but the joy in his playing is, I think, a lesson to all of us: love what you do, no matter how difficult, and life is good. Thank you, sir. You are amazing.
What can you see different with these musicians/music compared to the popular music today? Passion... you can see it reflected on their faces and you can hear it .. absolutely amazing
Hell yeah, and what people don't realize is just how difficult the things these guys are doing is. The amount of work these guys have put into music and the talent they posses is far greater than any mainstream pop artist could even fathom possesing.
That's it, passion!! You said it. Passion and the killer music education that a lot of them received at schools like North Texas and Berklee. Just about every one of these guys already have Grammys with other artists. I came across these videos just last night! I had been seeing the name, Snarky Puppy, but I thought it would be more like the band Skinny Puppy, not that there's anything wrong with that. haha... It's not often that a band like this comes along. Rock bands come out of the woodwork every day. Some I like, but not many. I'm definitely pumped about this band. I hope to see them in Nashville in September.
+Fleegsta This is the real music bro! the people only follow the mainstream, but this is the big deal, this music its not for ignorants, only the masters can understand this beats!!
Not necessarily masters but people who are really interested in music or fellow musicians. But i agree with you, this is real music imo and not some random beats with basic chords stuff and catchy melody. This thing is way more complex and can only be appreciated with your entire body and your soul. Cheers!
I just wanted to say, I'm a huge fan of yours, and I love prog as well as jazz fusion, so it makes me extremely happy to see that you like Snarky Puppy as well!
Marc Papeghin Indeed, that "videoclip" you made for Visions was absolutely amazing. Also, I love when you play with SongLeReveur. You two should do that more often :)
Als ich gestern die Nachricht bekam, war ich fassungslos. Warum muß so ein großartiger Musiker und Entertainer uns so jung verlassen? Ich werde nie vergessen, wie er im Oktober '22 bei der Zugabe die Elphi in Hamburg gerockt hat. Snarky Puppy ohne ihn, wie soll das gehen...? Naja, die Jungs werden weitermachen und ich freue mich auch darauf, aber Shaun darf jetzt vor ganz großem Publikum auftreten. Wetten, der Chef hat sich da oben schon ein Privatkonzert geben lassen? RiP, Shaun, thank you for the wonderful moments!
Who else is here trying to keep Shaun Martin alive today?
Me :( song has me in tears even more 😓 Rest in Peace to a legend!
LEGEND
This song eternailsed him for me!
Rest in peace legend!
As long as we keep his music alive, he will still live on
I can't believe that Shaun is gone, he was a master musician
Such an incredible talent. He's left us so many great memories......
This one stings for real!!
😢😢😢😢
I came right here when I found out 😭
I didn’t know he passed away. Very sad!
RIP, legend Shaun Martin 😢
Shaun Martin!!! I’m not here to mourn. I’m grateful that I shared the same generation with you ❤
Rest in peace Shaun Martin, one of the greatest to ever do it. Thanks for making me smile and cry time and time again with your beautiful playing, we'll miss ya:(
Rest in peace Shaun Martin, he is such a force on this record and such a part of what makes Snarky Puppy one of the best bands on earth!!
R.I.P the incredible Shaun Martin, your contribution to music and the world will never be forgotten.
In tribute. Rest well Shaun. Legacy
Reminder that Larnell learned most of the songs in this session on the 7 hour plane ride to europe. Absurd drummer. absolutely insane
Next level.
@VDistinguishedV The Drummer
noway
@VDistinguishedV the drummer. The black bald guy
Seriously that drummer is fucking amazing.
Oh Shaun, you are and will be so missed.... incredible musician and just a very fine man. RIP.
my question is how do i become one of those guys that just chill and watch these guys while they are recording this
How to become one of the chill patrol, Robert....good karma points you got stored up..:)
Save me a chair when you find out!
Back in the day, if I would have been invited to this, I would have been so high.
It's a cult of aristocrats. Intermarriage is the only way.
@Lokey How do you mean?
Nate Werth deserves more credit!(The Percussionist)
beasty108 Yes I agree with you. The way he coordinates his parts with Larnell is just phenomenal. He adds a nice flavor to the music. He works with the drummer instead of over playing the drums. My definition of a great percussionist!
beasty108 Werth ;)
Cameron Favell Yeah I realized I made that mistake a while ago lol.
beasty108 Werth It!
RangerEspino45 Was just thinking the same.... Ha ha....
He nails his bits, never drifts over into the silent gaps, really good..... Was saying t6o mate earlier the very same thing!!
R.I.P. King! Nobody can make a keyboard sing like you 💚
Thank you, Shaun Martin. RIP King. 🕊️❤
RIP Shaun! Thank you for the music ❤

I just watched "Lingus" a bunch of times, and now I learn that the guy just losing it next to Cory Henry's soloing on that one is five-time Grammy winner Shaun Martin who is capable of doing THIS to a talk box. What the hell?
You need to listen to his tune "MADIBA"

@@blueplanet8750 check his Singapore live version. Of Sleeper, mind boggling.

Holy shit, I would never have noticed that till you pointed it out
That was the most interesting part of the tune.
That's some tasty delay and reverb for sure
Yes! It's so beautiful. I never really noticed it when just listening to the audio.
Yeah, it's delay
RIP Shaun. He put his soul into this one.
RIP Shaun Martin...one of my favorite musicians and creators.
I feel like the horn players aren't mentioned enough in these videos, they're so smooth and in sync, the way they drive most of the songs just gets to me, so powerful
Yes, a killer horn section. Such great feel. Mike Maher on trumpet wrote this song, yet he is hardly seen in the video.
They’re SUPER tight with some extremely tricky syncopated entrances. Like on Lingus, they’re regularly coming in with sixteenth-note-level precision that changes up phrase to phrase, and it’s always razor sharp
Sharp as a Katana
Totally agree.. such a great uplifting feeling
@@LAK_770 I know I'm 2 years late but.

This beautiful masterpiece is now 10 years old. It hasn't diminished in the slightest. Thank you Snarky Puppy. Thank you Shaun Martin and Mike Maher.
6:15 - the guitarist's respect face for the synth player
Bro that’s literally my face every time I hear that part😭
You know, during Cory's solo in Lingus, I was astonished as I admired the skill and ability to play the piano. But here, I mean HOLY FUCKING SHIT, the level of emotion Shaun brings in his play is unbeliveable. My eyes were watery and there was no room left on my skin which wouldnt be covered in goose bumps :) THANK YOU!
I KNOW RIGHT?! Gosssh! They are all awesome msicians mann.
This had the same effect on me! My soul has TRULY been blessed!!!
You gotta love Shaun's reactions as Cory does his solo in Lingus.
They got madd respect for each other too. It's awesome.
Petr Jakubec i mean pretty much every member of Snarky Puppy is kind of a genius
I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME THING!
RIP Shaun Martin. A true legend.
For me, seeing Shaun Martin's face during his solo just adds so much to the song itself. So passionate.
Right? When you play music, you play it with all your body.
Dude kills it
Just saw them in Seattle and he was so animated and fun to watch. Thought he should have lost his stocking cap. Must have it glued on. His solo for this one was so more dynamic than this recording
i thought he was singing at first. but he is using a talkbox right? so he wouldnt be singing

Right! Very true! Still, he is no amateur! He’s a legend, he’s the one and only Shaun Martin..
His solo on "Skate U" (off of Tell Your Friends) was what got me into these guys.
He is a multi Grammy award winning musician. Check him out on Kirk Franklin, Kim burrell, plus his personal songs and more
game recognize game, and everybody within Snarky Puppy has fucking game
he was facepalming during Lingus keyboard solo :0)

Had to come back and pay my respects to Shaun and his family. Gone but never forgotten. Thank you for everything you contributed ❤
"So, what instrument do you play?"
"Tube"
"Oh cool, tuba. I have a friend who-"
"No, not tuba, tube"
Talk box *
Which is technically just an effect you can use on any analog instrument.
it's a hookah
@Edmund Keeling A talkbox and a vocoder aren't the same thing.
Implying that a tuba isn't made up of a bunch of tubes anyway
@@Nihilish well no shit
Shaun... Rest and joy in musical heaven, forever.
I'll never forget how inviting you were to speak with in Hattiesburg brother.
Rest in funk my man ❤️
I'm a metal head and good lord this still one of my favorite things. I'm a drummer, and this drummer is my freaking hero. These guys are up in my favorites with guys like periphery. Amazing musicians.
Periphery! Love that shit!
glad to see a fellow periphery fan in this! both are incredible
Larnell Williams is a god!
I don't need to say anything once my profile picture has been that since P1 back in 2010... =D

Outstanding solo. RIP Shaun, you had so much more music to give
I SWEAR 4:35-4:51 WHERE BRASS COMES BACK IN WITH THE VOICEBOX IS INSANE !!!
6:12 - that expression and emotion... just unreal.
does he even sing? no. its a talkbox. why does he make that face? just pure passion??
@@broor yep
Yes, I just learned he has extensive background in gospel music and I hear it and see it in this entire song
@@broor because the things he is playing are so powerful and emotional. he’s basically singing.
He looked constipated…
Absolutely amazing showcase of emotion😊
Did anybody mention the drummer? Oh my God, the drummer...
Larnell Lewis is a God.
Legend says he learned the songs on the flight to the studio since sput searlight got sick really fast days before.
is a master of the universe
@@mogglie No, his passport or his Visa for europe was expired.

Amen Joe!!!!
absolutely amazing
Yoooo Shaun rest in heaven my brother. You will truly be missed.
The crescendo at 4:27 gives me the chills every damn time. Probably the best crescendo I've heard. The feeling and the intensity.... that's just on another level.
💯
the talkbox during the crescendo being slightly more flat than the other instruments make it feel even more intense and i love it
Its one of the best build ups Ive ever heard
I've been listening to this for 4 years, but damn never fail to give me chills
It’s so damn sexy! I love it!
This is a masterpiece, held together and amplified by Shaun Martin. Thank you Shaun for the joy I and many others have felt through listening to and watching this. Just stunning. Rest easy bro.
6:29 That cymbal stopping-wobble-maneuver! This guy is way too smooth
Rest In Peace Shaun Martin 😢… Thank you for your amazing music and tunes through the years!
Rest easy shaun you are and will continue to be one of my biggest influences
Rest in Peace, Shaun Martin. Your music touched our hearts so beautifully and deeply. Sending your spirit all my love. ❤
I can't believe he's gone, so young, so much talent. Grateful for all he was able to do. RIP, Shaun.
When music is this good, at least for me, it transcends into powerful medicine. I'm deeply affected everytime i hear this beautiful piece of music.
+Deep Luigi Same thing here man. It makes me want to live longer to hear more of these incredible performances ! Not that I didn't want to live long before, but see what I mean..I've just discovered these guys and I'm in awe. I'll be listening to a lot of snarky puppy in the near future !

Alexy Berard absolutely
I have chills like 90% of the song hahah
you're goddamn right :D

RIP SHAUN MARTIN 😢❤❤
Rest in peace shaun martin!
What a legend
4:37 is soooooo...,,,i don't even know. Amazing musicians.
well really its the whole build up to that moment and then the rest of it that is just sooo...again just an amazing song and group.
It's what I would call juicy XD
I got goosebumps
Patrick Bourke did you know that the goosebumps you get during a song is because of the brain releasing endorphins in anticipation of the climax of the song
i cried at 4:37 first time i heard this
That percussionist is awesome. It's SO difficult to find a good percussionist..
That's Larnell Lewis and he is simply awesome -- great guy, too.
Im pretty sure he means Nate Werth, the percussionist, not drum set player.
8trigrammer I agree, They are a BLAST
The percussionist , is a Blast , But , The drummer is one of a kind .
Make a Twitter search

I feel goosebumps, and, 220 volts up and down the spine from that deep location in the brain....
I no right my arms and legs were numb its to sick
R.I.P Shaun, i learn so much, BIG loveee
RIP Shaun, you’ll be missed
he's the one that so happy when cory do solo at lingus. and yet he have such an amazing skill and feeling here. i bet he's a humble guy.
Moog should endorse this guy big time, because he just made me obsessed about buying one.
We all know why we're here now. And I can't think of a better at-home tribute.
RIP Shaun. Gone far too soon. It’s clear his musicianship was matched by the positive energy and engagement he brought with him
Rest in peace Shaun. Legend.
Rest in peace, genius. ❤🎹

The percussionist is a beast!
RIP Shaun 🕊️🙏
Tbilisi born New Yorker here, and jazz player. To see real musicians get even this much attention is heartwarming.
honestly they deserve way more views that this
+Fleegsta This is the real music bro! the people only follow the mainstream, but this is the big deal, this music its not for ignorants, only the masters can understand this beats!!
Not necessarily masters but people who are really interested in music or fellow musicians. But i agree with you, this is real music imo and not some random beats with basic chords stuff and catchy melody. This thing is way more complex and can only be appreciated with your entire body and your soul. Cheers!
Fleegsta more people need to see these guys live.
Music is totally subjective. What make this piece great is the complexity. Tbh they are aniway
It's 5.3 million at start of 2019.
One of the most amazing and exciting things I've heard in years ! Wow
I just wanted to say, I'm a huge fan of yours, and I love prog as well as jazz fusion, so it makes me extremely happy to see that you like Snarky Puppy as well!
Hey! You made my favourite video ever, Haken's "Visions"!
simonova90 Ohh thanks a lot ! I had a blast creating that one...
Ben Papsun Thanks man ! Oh yeah Snarky Puppy are just mind-blowing... and this track = goosebumps everytime !
Marc Papeghin Indeed, that "videoclip" you made for Visions was absolutely amazing. Also, I love when you play with SongLeReveur. You two should do that more often :)
Talk boxes may be the single greatest sounding thing ever made.
It lets instruments sing, after all.
Als ich gestern die Nachricht bekam, war ich fassungslos. Warum muß so ein großartiger Musiker und Entertainer uns so jung verlassen?
Ich werde nie vergessen, wie er im Oktober '22 bei der Zugabe die Elphi in Hamburg gerockt hat. Snarky Puppy ohne ihn, wie soll das gehen...? Naja, die Jungs werden weitermachen und ich freue mich auch darauf, aber Shaun darf jetzt vor ganz großem Publikum auftreten. Wetten, der Chef hat sich da oben schon ein Privatkonzert geben lassen?
RiP, Shaun, thank you for the wonderful moments!
legend, we will miss you
