I firmly believe Cory’s solo on this recording will go down as one of the all-time great solos in jazz

This solo was Cory’s reply to Shawn Martin. It was a long time coming, and years in the making. Shawn was the Snarky keys solo guy and when Cory came along, Shawn would say to him, “take your time, take your time” when he was building a solo. So he did lol…

It is _sick_ how tight the whole ensemble is. Those opening riffs in the horn section, heavy heavy drag but _together?_ Absolutely unreal.

Funny sidenote: Larnell Lewis's (the Drummer) performance on Snarky Puppy's 2014 album We Like It Here was noted for his learning most of the songs on the airplane flight to the Netherlands, having only played two of them before the recording date. All members of this band are amazing but Larnell is something else! ;)

It's actually 5/4 all the way through and 4/4 once the solo starts, but the way they make it SO rhythmically complex is awesome. As a tabla player, I live for this shit lol.

"Did I just see Cory Henry? I think I did," toward the beginning. I laughed.

When you said, “Ensemble writing inside solo ideas is the key,” I literally paused the video to take a step back at how poignantly correct you are. Such an amazing band and perfectly apt commentary on your part, my dude.

Tylerdark6149, I agree with you 100%! When I heard Drumroll Tony's comment,... "Ensemble writing inside solo ideas is the key," I thought that was quite a profound statement as well. I think it perfectly applies to the difference in how we respond and react when listening to much of today's repetitive, electronic, loop based music, versus listening to live music, performed by live musicians. - For even if a repetitive, loop based song has a great beat, and makes us want to stomp our feet, snap our fingers, clap our hands, or dance, in my opinion, live music produces a guttural, impassioned, emotional reaction, at our inner core, when we hear an alteration of the groove, the melody or some other detail of the music. Also, it's great to hear the improvisational aspect as well. For I highly doubt that every note of the recorded version of "Lingus" was written out. Instead, I imagine the charts, and the music scores were there to set the fondation, and from there, these incredibly talented gentleman are simply " feelin' " each other's groove, talent, and musical mastery, as well as feeding off of, and reacting organically off of, the audience's reaction as well. Listening to live music with a live band can be a magical, transformative experience! Till next time! Peace✌️ 😎

Right On Drumroll Tony, I enjoyed your reaction. Agreed, Snarky Puppy are a fantastic band, and their musicians are amazing players, and that performance of "Lingus" was simply unreal! 👌 👏

That is music from the future, and always will be. The musicianship is on another level and this performance will be enjoyed and analysed for many years to come.

I've watched this performance a lot, and it gets me every damn time. Serious ensemble playing, and the synth solo, man oh man.

I tear up everytime I listen to this damn song.

I don’t listen to jazz, but this is just amazing. Blew my mind when I discovered it so it was fun to see you react to it as well.

Especially the keys solo in this song as it how it functions harmonically. But yeah... this is like the modern spin in the evolution and its just great.

What I love about this recording just as much as the absolutely insane levels of playing and composition is the joy and sense of cameraderie all these players exude. It's a joy to watch as much as listen to, and Shaun Martin's reactions to Cory's solo are pure gold.

Oh man, yeah this song is all around incredible. The groove, Larnel fucking killing the drums on short notice, the otherworldly solo, the super tight brass section... It still blows me away every time I hear it.

Most people be like "wow, who is that amazing alien pianist?" But you're like "is that Cory Henry? I think I saw Cory Henry!" (implying "I know this is going to be GOOD" 😁)

Bro just asked if he saw Cory Henry on keys 😂If only he knew what was coming a few minutes later. And don't let Shaun Martins 2 finger key bass fool you. He has 9 grammys under his belt. And even that legend was dying because of Cory's solo. Shaun Martin when he has to play his bass line, "Cory, I wanna play too!"

Larnel is such a mf on drums honestly not to take anything away from the amazing keyboard solo but the drumming that was happening under it is absolutely spectacular

Dude you’re one of the best. I’ve never seen a good snarky puppy reaction where you kinda get EVERYTHING. kudos.

YES!! After a recent comment, I didn’t think you were going to do Snarky Puppy. This whole album is amazing, and I love the little insights you offer throughout. More please!!

Dude I loved your breakdown of this as we went along. I’m begging you to to react to the rest of this “We Like it Here” session

god I love how all in unison they are on the odd syncopations that makes this song groove so hard.

If you were impressed by Lingus, you might want to check out “Trinity”from the forthcoming Snarky Puppy release titled Empire Central. The band’s evolution is astounding.

I've watched this Snarky Puppy video and reactions to it like at least 30 times.

Those horns coming out of Cory's solo are just so tight.

I can listen to the first 2:30 of Lingus over and over again. That Horn line goes so hard in the beginning. Major stank face all the way through.

If you feel like it, Plini has some of the greatest Rock/Jazz crossovers. Flaneur is a jazz masterpiece, and everything on the Handmade Cities album is wonderful, which the first track, Electric Sunrise, might be his best ever. Anyways, glad to see someone else who knows Cory Henry. He takes you to church and makes you want to cuss all at the same time.

I love the side eyes to each other from the string players loving how good this music is. This whole album is amazing. Also sound engineer is the man!

You know my dude, I feel like I've probably watched a thousand reactions to "Lingus". I think the only way I can come close to the feeling I had the first time I watched it is to live vicariously through other people's first times. I can honestly say though, you're the first person to acknowledge how saucy those two little bass runs that Michael League does in the second I guess "verse" section. The little pull back on the rhythm, just getting slightly behind everything while doubling the horn line?! Savage. I know everyone else is usually busy having their brain turned into shit by Cory Henry and Larnell Lewis, but to my ears those two little moments give like a +1000 stank to the whole feel early on in the piece. Great reaction man. I really appreciate your active listening skills. And cheers from a fellow Seattle bassist and guitarist. Go Hawks!

This is one of my “death bed” songs. It’s absolutely incredible.

you just godda hold your hands up and say WOW the whole is a masterpiece but Corey Henry 🤯 the dudes of the charts unbelievable,the best keyboard solo ever

To clarify the tempo… the ‘verse’ is a very slow 5/4 and the ‘middle 8’ and ‘chorus’ (all loose definitions for what’s going on) are still in 5/4 but twice the bpm… and the solo section for Corey is in 4. In a live performance of this song, Michael League said “This is our version of Dub Step.” If it hasn’t been said, this group forned in Denton TX at University of Northern Texas (formerly North Texas State) which has been a Mecca for jazz musicians for decades. I remember my older brother singing its praises back in the ‘70’s. There should be a picture of SP in the dictionary under “Musicianship”

"Is that Cory Henry?"....oh boy, now I'm really looking forward to your reaction to his solo.

Few have commented this, but pay attention to the guitars in the second part. There are actually two guitars playing the melody in unison. And it sounds like just one massive sounding guitar playing perfectly.

These guys are so ninja. They're like all the band geeks that became multi-Grammy winning musicians who totally stole your girlfriend that one time in Amsterdam 😂❤😊

You have to react to Arch Echo - Color Wheel. The keyboard playing is magical, and there's a heavy jazz vibe in sections as well

I know everyone loves cory's key solo and it is fucking amazing...but I'm a bass and drum guy and how Larnell builds during that solo perfectly compliments, and importantly,doesn't take away from the solo. Just builds WITH the key solo so well. Second half of the key solo to the end of the song, Larnell goes berserk on that kit. Absolutely unbelievable.

Lingus is pretty cool, and the solo is incredible, but Shofukan is outstanding! You should give it a go hahaa

Its not just a live show. They are recording the album.

For those who're in luv with this kind of Music....'Jaga Jazzist with Britten Symphonia - One-Armed Bandits....

It seems like the play speed of the video has been increased significantly, which totally changes the vibe😁

That's what happens when you go to the University of North Texas. They don't mess around over there. The best part is that their instructors are in the audience enjoying the creation. This was when I really became a fan of Corey Henry. He is gonna make me buy an organ, put it in my house and shed!!! I will have a Hammond and a Nord C2D dual manual organ.

The whole thing with this song is Corey's solo

You should check out “Shofukan” from the same session. Just as amazing, but a bit more of a hook weaved into composition.

Awesome reaction! Please also check out: Dirty Loops and Jacob Collier.

Check out Cory Wong and Dirty Loops' collab song Follow the Light, great jazz/funk/pop band!

I’m 100% Metalhead and 100% Jazzheart ❤

Dude please react to the polyrythmics. They are so groovy. World class arrangement and musicianship. Such a fresh sound to me with psychedelic funk

Following Snarky Puppy and Polyphia, I'd highly recommend checking out Parcels Live Vol. 1. It's a big hour long video but most of the songs within it are 3ish minutes. Pick any (but especially from the top half where things blend from one tune to the next really smoothly) and enjoy. Best description is a kind of electro-disco-pop with some really tight and clean guitar work, and all around incredible arrangements.

You should do some Dirty Loops reactions!

Frisson is the feeling ✌️

This is the Snarky Puppy/Larnell Lewis album.

I think the effect on the trumpet was envelope, not flange. On the solo, I heard bass guitar synced with the kick drum, and I think guitar ghost notes too. Great selection.

You may already be aware of him but I gotta recommend some Cory Wong. His band is so incredibly tight and well arranged, it would be an absolute treat to see you dissect. As a bass player, I think you'd love Direct Flyte featuring Victor Wooten; as a Snarky Puppy fan, Concrete featuring Mark Lettieri; or if you just want to see the band do their thing, Assassin is a favorite of mine- especially the Paisley Park session.

It stays in 5 all the way to the solo

I just watched a 35 minute doco on this recording session and the following tour. None of the music was written when they arrive in the Netherlands and they had like 3 days to have the music written and recorded. Larnell Lewis didn't attend any of the rehearsals and learned the songs on a 7 1/2 flight.
