There is no one secret. & just being really "into it" is not enough. He got so good because he grew up in a strong musical culture rooted in the Golden Era Gospel sound, surrounded by music from an early age, great teachers, access to a Hammond Organ.....& this is crucial. His own relentless hard work & dedication. Practice every waking moment, study theory & dream about those keys at night. . Only then will a musician really feel like they are leaving the physical world, & inspire the listener to join them on that journey.

Tough to hear a man improv what wouldve taken you 5 years to even unite the ideas in your head. And a year after playing this he prob wouldnt even remember 25% of it, meanwhile, its become part of a jazz theory final at a class at Berklee. Crazy.

They think it's all the same. There is New York style, West coast, Chicago, Southern, Midwest etc...on top of all the other known genres. Cory is really one of a kind.

very insane.

That is what great musicians do….first they play on their level when they solo and then they accommodate their fellow musician’s standard…..that is why we have these two heterogeneous pieces of music….

Am I hearing a little Bill Laurence-esque playing the middle section where he switches to the piano sound? A great artist like this never stops evolving. Cory's a genius but the way he learns a little from every player he shares the stage with humbles him.

I got entranced. I know Cory will be legendary. He moved us, touched us, and have us drop our jaw. Slowly I get more and more sucked in then he touched the organ. I got totally mesmerized and knew that I was watching something that a select few should have a privilege. Then the piano fades away and I invested all my attention to it... ONLY TO PLAY THE INTRO TO F***ING SMOKE ON THE WATER! I've never got bamboozled in life as much as this one!

This music feels like dreaming in the best way possible. I love this sense of mistery and the complex emotions in his music. A lot of jazz you hear is technical but has no soul whatsoever, this is incredibly refreshing

A few others that were In that category are Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Keith Jarret, McCoy Tyner, and some others that would have to jog my memory.
