bwevemuzk I think he's saying that improvisation is something you only tap into but never fully understand...so it's always something new to discover. Because when you grow, the music grows, thus, the music is always growing and what you want to do with the music always changes.

Musical "space" (as in the mathematical meaning of the word) is vast, no one has fully covered it yet. And if you listen to him in context Henry is correct anyway.

mathematical "space" can be easily infinite and so toi say no one has covered it yet is trivial.

A King Korg stacked on top of a Korg Kronos. Reminds me of the solo where I discovered this genius.

Yes it is, and blues and gospel, but mostly it is Corey Henry. He is in a class all his own. He instinctively plays bass with his feet, chords and melody and improvisation with his hands whilst singing lead.

At this point i dont even use the word "jazz" to define a genre, i just use it to compliment music that I enjoy. "Man this is Jazzy!" is the highest praise i can give

Cory's multi-tasking already completely blew my mind, and I now I find out that he can sing, as well as both hands on the organ, and foot bass. Ridiculous!

Pure blessed hands this guy is a phenomenon.

I already knew he was an amazing talent on the keys but, vocals too! What a performer. Great drummer love it. UK.

That's too much talent for one man!!!!! Continue putting it on the lamp stand !

Cory has killer vocals! Love the vid, thank you!

His ear is brilliant. Not just for the music and phrasing and runs but for the technical side of his instrument. Those keyboard rich warm sounds are so rich and textured. Edible sound

I think it is jazz, without any doubt, but I don't see why it's so important to classify it. It's more important to listen and enjoy!

This man is a SENSATIONAL MINSTREL!!

6:15 Very nice reharmonization, very subtle, I like it. (Jazz, well, what actually is jazz :-))

Divine. That's what it is

Gospel music touches emotional and spiritual places that jazz doesn't usually visit. Trying to split definition hairs is a waste of energy. Cory Henry has a unique instrumental voice that bridges a lot of gaps, and speaks to his church grounding.

Dude, it's jazz. That definition, especially these days, is pretty flexible... And your a beast. Keep it up!!!

Yes I feel the same way about being comfortable with an organ-drummer duo setup, from one organist to another.

Wo! He did "Yesterday" like George Shearing did back in the day.

A LEGEND!

What a musical god! Man this cats been blessed.

so much love cory Henry

It doesn't have to be jazz in order for it to be good and this is great music!

very nice music!!!

HE CAN SING TOO???!!!

Love you, Cory!

@@romainsanterre-theil782 it means that the form and construction of the music is atypical for what the average person expects and/or understands. CH is an extremely talented musicians. When he solos, you start to hear his non-standard approach to soloing. I hope this helps a little. its a huge topic and hard to explain in just one or two paragraphs.

To quote Miles himself: MILES DAVIS: I don't like that word "jazz." BG: You don't? What would you call it? MD: I think social music. All the social melodies out in the air. There's no jazz anymore. Truth. Less pigeonholes, more amazing music - like this!

"The way you make me feel" like you've never heard i before ;0)

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 love 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Dude, Cory got a nice voice too. He gotta drop some gems on a solo album.

Wow... everyone's got an opinion they can't explain cause they try too hard to sound like they got some kind of answer. What I get from what the man is saying, music is organic. It keeps morphing. There is no end only growth. Just listen to him play. I remember Miles was asked to define Music and he said, I'm working on that. Fortunate for all of us Cory and others like him found their paths early in life and have the genius to share it and for that I feel blessed.

I would LOVE to hear Cory and Barbara Dennerlein do a Hammond organ smackdown. Please, you two, find a way to play together. ...You would burn the room!

If anyone has to ask if it is jazz then they don't know music...it's blues, it's R&B, it's soul, it's jazz, it's rock & roll, it's music, it's beautiful,. Do overthink it!

🙏🏽

Is the full piece that begins at 5.12 available anywhere? Either this version or another recording, but preferably this one.

HE CAN SING THAT WELL??

Good God.

If it isn't jazz (and I would argue strongly that it is) then it is jazz's profound loss. Mr. Henry is and has been phenomenal since early childhood.

If music weren't so wide it's new name would be Cory Henry

can someone tell me what those sunglasses that Cory wears are

Full Jazz

its october 4th how is this published in the future man

What's that song at 5:12? :) I think I've heard it before, but I can't seem to remember the song's or the artist's name! ^^

Nice voice,.didn't know he could sing.

Ray had a knack for melody, but this guy is a different story all together. He has a gift for improvisation and such a strong understanding of harmony to back it all up.

God why not just ask if it's a polka? The most anti-musical and anti-artistic question one cold ask. God, asinine. Listen to what he's expressing and the tools and emotional caharcter he's laying down? Can he PLAY the hell out of straight up jazz? Yes. I ABHOR transparently judgmental crap like this. Can the person who posted this play jazz, funk, gospel, blues? If so, why pigeonhole Henry wit a sophomoric question like that? If not, please be quiet because you are commenting on things you don't even understand. "Is it jazz?" is bad enough, but the word prefacing those words being the word "but" shows that there is judgment.

"but is it jazz? is a live concept presented by The Writer's Bench, featuring the best in adventurous jazz related music and beyond..." It's in the video description. The question could be interpreted as elitist and judgemental - just as you thought it was. But I believe it's safe to assume that the title of this "live concept" just plays with those expectations of this question. In other words: It's a light hearted joke. Don't put a spoon in your eye over it. ;)

Heck noone can even deFINE Jazz. It is only the egocentric elitists who THINK they can. Is it working in upper structures? Is it the heavy use of "color" notes? Is it improvisation? Is it swing? Is it the bebop scale? NONE of these is exclusive to the "genre." Nor is any COMBINATION of these things. "Jazz" is just as diluted as everything ELSE!
