Cory Henry jamming at Namm 2016 with his friend and fellow Funk Apostle Nicholas Semrad! Nick Semrad has a cool podcast worth checking out called “Grid Kids.” Join our Discord community here: discord.com/invite/xBmYHcm46u Sheet music trivia (first to answer correctly gets PDF): what broken expectation led to Cory’s stank face at 1:48?

Instead of the established F --> Em7 --> Am7 --> C (?), he uses a magical slash dominant chord Db/E to get to the major A13?

Seems like Nick wanted to change keys (played Asus, potentially moving to D?) but Cory didn't follow thd change and still played C. That part of the jam sounded off, to be honest.

I love the way musicians communicate through music. No words, just music and body language. Looks so awesome.

I appreciate how you added the 3rd staff for the organ pedals, a lot of transcribers forget to do that on Hammonds. It also doesn't help that you can get the same tone in one of the manuals (for the left hand) if you set up your drawbars right, oh well 😅 that's why we have a video to help us out!! 🤣

I agree 💯. That’s a big problem these days w/ lots of the new players on the scene that didn’t come out of the church but, want to use the Gospel sauce. They learn the licks & basic Gospel progressions but, don’t know what to do in these situations where the slightest things change up. Cory has been in the church since the womb, can play Gospel in any key without hesitation & knows ALL of the hymns & spirituals. He’s a modern day Billy Preston. Nick is no doubt very talented. But, he’s very lucky that Cory didn’t force this to the key of B, A, Gb, E, A, or Db…

​@@SimpsonSound Gatekeeping is quite literally what the OP described. These songs are transcribed in hymnals, but they are played in different ways depending on the locations you consume the media. I am familiar with "Southern Baptists (south east Texas) renditions of these songs. So, before you come in here talking out the side of your neck about who, and what; try to understand the original poster, my comment, and what you THOUGHT you understood. When I said, "You don't even have to gatekeep..." It was a confirmation of the original comment. Not an accusation. I hope this made it clear for you.

This was and still is one of the best namm performances I ever heard. Since I listened to this back in 2016 i knew Corey and Nick had a special connection, something fluent that you can see on Corey's face. He's so expressive and you can know when he is pleased playing with someone or uncomfortable

I've seen this dozens of times, and always get a kick out of watching the bald guy with glasses in the background. You can tell he's heard a lot of musicians, and knows just how good they are.

I love seeing the pure joy and love of music exuding from Corey when he's feeling it! Both musicians here are geniuses.

You've achieved the impossible: it's Monday morning - but you've made me smile from ear to ear. Utterly beautiful.

Love it when musicians "communicating" without speaking

What makes this so fantastic is their innate understandings of where their instruments fit into the space of the music. I was literally telling myself that the only thing missing in this piece was piano downbeats with organ upbeats, and then 3:05 happened. What a privilege it would have been to have been there live and witnessed this firsthand. This is one of the all time great on the spot improvisational duets.

To hold your own in a duet with Cory means you’ve unlocked genius level

I've seen this video lots of times, but, aside for the great musical back and forth between Nick and Cory, what always gets me, is the pure joy on the faces of those watching in the background.

Black and white coming together like the keys on the piano ….Beautiful!

So thankful you transcribed this. Pure gold.

The video title is misleading. It should be called: 'When geniuses recognize each other".

Seen these guys playing live twice. They are so good together and Cory's bands are always so tight and groovey. Hope to see them again soon

It’s great to see how they enjoy what they are doing so much and they have a certain language

When Cory hit those left hand bass groove.. Oh man I’m floored .. awesome, it’s like he can continue all day and never run out of riffs. 🤩

The expression on the organist's face is priceless.Joy in the present moment.

Watching something like this brings me true happiness at the end of a hard day. Thank you

What an amazing set. Thank you for sharing this brilliant heart filling moment

The fun in watching one musician grimace at another musician's flourish, while playing while playing along.

Two fantastic talents with soul. The groove got me and also it was like watching Marvin Gaye on the keyboard. Marvin would approve of this jam.

Intense synchronisation like a play and a melody on a moment's free flowing creation of complimentary rhythm. What a beauty in and of time!!

"I don't feel no ways tired". Love this song.

2:50 organs went scratch mode. Loved the vibe on this!

i'm thrilled to see this creativity and talen someone so young, when many jazz pianists take many more years to get this good the availability of the keyboard and the iphone have made these avenues more affordable and available to the young more so than when older generations had to own a piano (lots more money) and cameras (lots more money) wow i'm impressed

The ending of this always makes me smile :)

This is gorgeous and lovely. Joyious and filled with a sense of belonging to a crowd of like minded individuals..bravo!!!

Virtuoso playing like this leaves me breathless, with a huge smile on my face. What talent and what tremendous joy musicians of this talent and ability bring to the world. I am so very jealous that I have barely any musical ability. I can strum a few chords but the piano/keyboard has always alluded me. Fantastic jam!! Thank you so very much for posting.
