What solos or tunes have had the biggest impact on you?? Also don't quit. There are some daunting musicians out there, but I swear you'll get there sooner than you think.
Hi I’ve been watching since 1 year ago good job
Miles Davis so what solo, So many good note choices!
Hi
There’s this solo piano on RUclips of an Asian guy playing isnt she lovely and it is incredible
I almost quit drumset a few times. Last year was my first year playing and any solo in general overwhelmed me
'my left hand sucks' charles i feel this on a spiritual level
My both hands sucks🤣
haha octaves go brrr
Same... and IM LEFT HANDED! I just haven’t used it as much for piano so it is less coordinated (but more flexible)!?
I’m a leftie for writing and eating, but I do mainly everything else with my right hand as I have become accustomed to this right-handed world.
My right hand sucks. I play guitar.

Corey Henry's solo is incredible to non-musicians. For musicians, if you break it down and understand what he's playing and how he's playing it, it gets even more unbelievable.
Haha exactly, great comment 👍
Hiromi Uehara needs to be mentioned also.
If your curious two of my favorite live performances by her trio:
“MOVE”
“Dancando no Paraiso”
:)
Hiromi is a mutant!! 🔥🔥🔥
Corey Henry's solo in Lingus absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it. The way he starts out mellow and just slowly ramps up the insanity over several minutes is truly 'next level' musicianship.
I think Joey Alexander is in the league you're talking about.
i'm actually now learning cory henry's solo on lingus... wish me luck lol
Good fucking luck dude
Deadass I’ll pray for you (and god isn’t even real)
I spent a solid 2 weeks learning the initial chords sequence before the saw wave part. I gave up at that point, but just learning that first bit expanded my ability to comprehend music theory.
Just listening is exhausting
How's that going for you?
LOVE the new studio. Much more pleasing to the eye. The other place was way too dark and cramped. This is way better. Good luck with the reno!
There's SO MUCH Chick Corea in that solo of Cory Henry's (no slight to Cory). But man, I loved hearing that influence in there. Not just the sounds, the mono lead with Rhodes comping, but the way he uses them.
I love Coltrane’s solo on moments notice. It just feels so infectious. On the other end I’ve heard stuff from him off of a love supreme, for example, that just blows my mind.
I feel you on the pioneer thing. It's important because it was new at the time. I and many others can write a prelude like Bach that is just as 'good,' but it will never achieve the greatness of Bach because everyone will just think I'm copying him. So it's weird how that works.
As a bass player for 6 years and music composition major in college, my three are Alone together by Christian McBride and Hank Jones, Run for Cover by Marcus Miller, and Spain, the version by Yohan Kim and Friends(but really anything by Yohan Kim and friends). Alone together I heard on the radio on the way to my middle school, where I played upright bass in the orchestra and trombone in the jazz band. It was insane to me the level of proficiency that Christian has on upright, while I only knew like 3-4 major scales and eighth notes scared me. Run for Cover I discovered early high school/end of middle school. I had started playing electric bass, and that was the first slap bass song I'd ever heard and it blew my mind(I was so proud of myself when I finally learned to play it 2 years later). Yohan Kim is a more recent find, and while his technical ability is great, the ideas he has for changing up the styles of songs are even better. I'm a huge music theory nerd, and interesting rhythms make me swoon, but a lot of musicians and composers forget about the other aspect of music, style. Being able to hear a song and make it sound so different is a skill I've been practicing over quarantine (I made Yesterday by the beatles into a full rock song), but Yohan Kim is able to do that while injecting his own ideas into it, ideas which are already awesome on their own. Hearing that didn't make me almost quit, because I know that I don't need to be the best to still make music, but if I hadn't already come to terms with the fact that I'm not Jacob Collier, that would've hit me hard.
I can’t explain why but you look like you got 5 years younger this video.
It might be the hairstyle
I also checked if this video was one from like 2 years ago but it wasnt 😂
the 2010 teen haircut
The most recent solo I saw that made me want to quit was NHØPs autumn leaves on RUclips where he opens up by playing Chromatic Fantasy on upright
I'm a trumpet player, so for me would be any solos from Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval and Miles Davis and you should check Dominick Farinacci 's Honeysuckle Rose
My favourite Oscar Peterson is number one "You look Good to me" from album We Get Requests , then number two "Hymn to Freedom" from the Album Night Train. In fact "You Look Good to Me" is in my top 10 tracks ever of all genres.
As much as I love Cory & his solo on Lingus... When I hear it I think of Chick's solo's on 'Song to the Pharaoh Kings' or 'Duel of the Tyrant...' (Which are the solos that I always felt were the upper echelon of solos.) Chick's live solos on those songs were ridiculous. So I don't really think of the Lingus solo as 'next level' as you suggest, since Chick pretty much did it 20 years before Cory. I remember seeing Chick & Herbie live. Chick's electric band opened, and of course Chick tore it up... But I gotta tell you... When Herbie started his set... His solo on 'Hang Up Your Hang ups' made me forget all about Chick.
such a GREAT message. Snarky solo is ethereal. Cosmic. Eternal. Nice. Thanks.
Yo, John Petrucci's guitar solo in "In the Name of God" made me want to quit not just guitar, but music as a whole.
Watching him play it live with imperfections gave me hope again though.
your humility here just earned you another subscriber. cheers!
How do you feel about using the hand training excercises created by franz liszt to get better left hand synchronization?
They are probably some of the most difficult techniques i have seen on piano. One of them involves weaving one hand over thw other and playing various scales and chords using your 10 fingers together and slowly swapping one hand over the other as you weave your fingers.
Perpetual Burn by Jason Becker, different genre but still kills me today
There are so many killer solos that made me wonder whether or not I belong in the music world as a guitarist. Herbie Hancocks's on Witch Hunt, George Benson s on All the things you are(live version), Benson s on I ll drink to that , Pat Martino on Impressions and Oleo, Wes Montgomery on Besame Mucho, Caravan, etc.. everything Coltrane did prior to Love Supreme, Most Charlie Parker solos especially Parker s mood and Donna Lee, .. These are just a few. List is endless.
I will watch that video, if you can show me the last 2 measures of Cory’s solo against that mm145 beat. That will make me stupid happy. I can sing it, but I can’t see it. As a vocalist I modeled after Sarah and Ella. Speaking of Snarky Puppy, Laila Hathaway’s Interval singing in Something had me slack jawed. I understand how she did it, but couldn’t duplicate it. Her scatting facility is pretty off the charts as well.
it's actually rather simple: time + emotion. we need the genius occurrence to be happening in the past. How can we evaluate how strong an artistic body is, if we don't experience it lingering inside our heart for a period of time.
I can't get this solo off of psyche for like about 10 days. it's been constantly playing in loop inside my head. My brain is constantly trying to decipher the immense emotion that this track is causing me to experience.
Now, i'm only one person. In order for that impact to resonate culturally, we need a few more millions feeling like me. And looking at the youtube echo with all the lingus-related videos, this certainly seems to be the case.
It is not always very easy to recognize timeless creation when we encounter one. We need time in order to understand something is timeless.
Thanks so much for this valuable content in reminding us of these great artists. As soon as you mentioned these great men of music I bought the music right away.
Honestly any solo by Curtis Fuller
It’s not about the technical difficulty per say
But man…he just sound so unbelievable everytime no matter what Key no matter what style no matter how fast
And that’s what I think it shocks me
It sounds good…always sound good
It catch your ear
And that’s one of the things I suffered and still kinda suffer from when improvise is when I think will whoever hears it go “MAN that was beautiful I want to hear it again and again”
This is what I get when I listen to a solo by curtis fuller and it made me want to quite everytime I think “How?”
7:20 I think the source of this this belief is that we can only know if something is objectively good or bad once it's passed through the filter of time.
As a guitar player, for me, Tommy Emmanuel was the one that made me want to give up. After 4 years of playing about 3 hours a day on average, I was happy I could play some solos from Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. Then I saw Tommy, just playing an acoustic, no effects, by himself, and I figured I may as well just give up at that point. I feel the pain.
7:10 is exactly right. So many cats can "out play" Jaco now, blending styles from all the greats that came after him. But no Jaco...no others. SO...does that mean nobody's as great as Jaco??? No, it simply means, that he was a pioneer as you state, and Jaco had his Jaco (Jamerson?) and Jaco's Jaco had his Jaco....and so on.
How true. I was most influenced by Bill Evans, George Shearing, and Diana Krall, ( but always was impressed by Oscar Peterson).
These are crazy but as a gospel pianist/organist in NYC who also plays jazz and R&B Cory has always been on my list. But then I have the nightmare of Travis Sayles, Quennel Gaskin, John Peters, Melvin Crispell and John Paul McGee just to name a few. Check out any of them on RUclips or IG and please don't be discouraged.
I like the bass in the corner.
what stage/electric piano or MIDI controller do you use there?
As a piano player... I understand the feeling :) Also, you should check Papo Lucca, Charlie Palmier (not Eddie), and Marcolino Diamond. They have lots of albums and solos that are beyond human comprehension or recreation.
Frankly, I do drink this Corey Henry solo just like heavenly wine too, but doesn't it sound like Chick Corea 70ies typical stuff ? That is whom my despair mostly came from. Thanks, Chick.
I could listen to you all day, no joke
Lyle Mays: Chorinho, makes me revaluate my motive in playing piano.
After watching this video, I finally gathered the courage to quit piano for good after never having played the piano before
Really🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legend
Brave
lol
😂😂😂😂
Dude, that Corey Henry solo made the multi Grammy winning artist sitting next to him shake his head, take of his headphones, stand up and consider quitting 🤣
Shaun Martin’s reaction is one of those things I will never get tired of
There are some artists who make you want to take up an instrument and learn to play, there are other artists who make you want to take your instrument and learn to play better….and there are other artists who just make you want to put down your instrument and listen.
@@kaelgentile what’s it called
Shaun Martin's reaction and the high quality of visual recording of that performance... I think those two things had a major influence ond how we perceive Cory's Solo... I know, unpopular opinion... I can remember so well, when I first heard that solo and how the whole setup made me become so much more impressed by that what I heard. Since then I probably heard that solo 50+ times, listened a lot to Snary Puppy. And still to this day... Aah, I better stop, before I get all the hate... 😁
While I sorta get what you seem to be implying, that the solo is somewhat overrated because people latch on to Martin's reaction. However I would disagree that there is anything overrated. It wasn't just Martin. Everyone in that room reacted, and these are guys that have been doing this for decades with the biggest talents. They've seen a lot of good solos, so they don't just go basically "holy sh.." for no reason. Add in the reactions from experienced musicians that you can find on RUclips (they are legion lol) and I think it's pretty obvious this was a pretty special moment.
I am certainly extremely happy it was recorded so that we can enjoy it, as well as have some discussions about it :)
This new studio.... *I T A I N ' T F A M I L I A H*
I see you are are man of culture aswell
Micah Is this a Daniel Thrasher reference or am I missing something?
Addyson Versus yes this is a Daniel Thrasher reference. No, you’re not missing anything. You are a man of culture as well

“jazz is dead”
*23 million views on Lingus*
yes but... *6.9 Billion views on Despacito*
EDIT: 7205 millions now, 300 more in 5 months and 25 on lingus
Jose Pablo Bermúdez Mena yeah, jazz does smell kinda funny. definitely not dead as everyone keeps saying.
About 1 million of those views are from me. Keep going back to it all the time
Nah no music dies....even hidelgard is still sung. Popularity doesn’t define music. I think we focus too much on that and the way we sell music.
20 million are just me so...
Oscar Peterson used to live at the corner of my street and he was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. He told 8yr old me to play what my heart tells me to, not what the sheet music tells me to 🥰
What a blessing for you to be told that at 8, by anybody! But especially Oscar!
Awesome
Ain’t no fucking way…I would never spend a day feeling down, knowing that I got to hear that directly from Oscar. Damn :’)
Yes, I agree! Had the great honor of meeting him and having a small conversation with him as a youth in the early 80s at Steves music on Queens St. in Toronto. He was looking at buying an 88 keys Fender Rodes piano. Absolute, pure class!
@@FarahAMasri So TRUE!
Oscar Peterson having two bassists and letting them watch while he’s tearing through the bass lines on piano, is the most badass thing I’ve seen. HAHA!
Fr. High level savagery.
and don't forget, that was RAY FREAKING BROWN and NHOP, two of the best upright bass players to ever live. simply put, Oscar Peterson is so truly amazing
I think one of them is Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, the great Danish jazz bassist.
@@TrollingstonJohn I love the NHOP/Peterson Duo albums.
HENRY's solo in Lingus is already a classic in the RUclips jazz community at least.
It actually had the opposite effect on me. It made me want to be more involved with jazz.
Whenever I listen to that solo I still am out in the same trance I was in when I first listened
And it *has* been practically since he played it
@@kirbymia6209 completely agree dude, the amount of people I've shown Lingus and I'm still having exactly the same reaction as they are 😂
Yep, I agree
I'm not a pianist, but for me Oscar Peterson will always be the epitome of jazz piano greatness. His playing always sounds so effortless, like the piano is an extension of his body and it bends to his will. The way that most people breathe without thinking about it: that's how Peterson's playing strikes me.
I agree 100% with that description. That man is beyond amazing for me
Like watching Eric gales play the guitar 🎸. Any direction any time. So that a man thinketh so is he😋. Play your instrument 10 hours a day for a year with out missing a day and there you have it!
if you listen to a lot of Oscar Peterson’s solos, you can head him singing or scatting along as he plays, even in the video here you can watch him do it, his playing is just an extension of his humming to himself, he’s just havin fun.
@@lettersnstuff some people were destined to do what they do. OP would have died without being able to play the piano. After he had his stroke he fought long and hard to make a come back. He lived on his instrument. He gave himself to the instrument and the world but it cost him his first family and kids. But thank God for second chances. It cost to be that good at anything
My favorite example of this is his Girl from Ipanema solo off of We Get Requests. He barely used any left hand and just had this quiet focus that feels so at ease, but still just sizzles with energy.
Has anyone notice that Charles Cornell’s production quality has been improving significantly. I can totally see Thomas Frank’s influence in video production. Love your videos man!! Keep it up 👏
Yeah it’s amazing, Thomas Frank is crazy.
I'm actually forcing Thomas to help me design my new set areas in this basement lol. Next he's going to make me buy a C500 or something crazy...
Lol that explains it
@@CharlesCornellStudios could you keep it a little less washed out, just a suggestion :) love the vids
And Thomas Frank influences from our favorite Minimalist Matt D'Avella
Corey's solo made me quit playing for a month. I'm don't even play piano I'm a guitarist
Lol. Same here.. I melted at this solo (fox) incredible!
The thing about Cory's solo is it wasn't just a club jam session or a bootleg taken from one night on a tour, It was a live recording. This was them going for an album take with everything at stake and no margin for error. Sure all the other musicians were on point, and very clinical. Cory though was going beyond the page, going beyond written orchestration, reaching inside to find perfection, or as close to improv perfection as he could muster. On top of that playing, he was also shaping the sound. I mean sound design in the midst of a live take? That in my opinion was next level.
You captured what I couldn’t express about Cory Henry’s play with your comment here.
These solos: exist
Charles: *I think I might quit*
On that note, I think it would be fitting to break down Bill Wurtz's Might Quit
Agreed
When your suggestions are as smooth as Oversimplified's sponsor segway's
@@thepatriot4458 segue, not segway
More like "Did Quit" 🙃
Oscar Peterson to bassists: take a break guys, I got this *PLAYS FULL ORCHESTRA IN LEFT PINKY*
😜
Lhh
This is just like TwoSet reacting to prodigies that destroy their self esteem with a perfect run of some crazy Paganini piece.
yes that was precisely the first thing I thought of lol
Ling Ling..40hrs practice😂😂
Twoset gang!
I just need to watch Jordan Rudess , the end
Twoset gang here
jacob collier’s piano solo on his all night long cover made me question whether or not I had the correct amount of bones in my hand
or whether its *in my bones*
*deep voice* "bones"
theres a funky feeling
In my bones in my bones in my bones I got this funky feeling
Had the same reaction as that guy in the choir with his hands on his face.
5:10 in the official video for anyone wondering.
Art Tatum is considered even by Rachmaninov as one of the greatest pianist in all styles...
Just because i would love to read more about it because i love rachmaninov. Where do you have that from?
@@L1102 Well-known fact. Rachmaninov would go to see Tatum live at every opportunity.
Horowitz also said so
Cory just stares off into space and lets his inner child come out and play. That solo is just stupid amazing. I mean just dumbfounded at how incredible it is.
"...there's always going to be someone better than you..."
Yeah. But in my case did it have to be so many??? 😁
:(
Damn I felt that
@@Nora-pw3mb just play a really niche instrument 🤷🏻♀️
If you make music out of a rock, plant or something like that, no one will be better than you...
If someone tells me that jazz is dead, I just tell them to look up literally any Cory Henry solo.
That usually does the trick.
Jacob collier
Since when jazz is dead?
Or Robert Glasper, Flying Lotus, Nubya Garcia, Austin Peralta (I can't do jazz like him), Theo Hill...
sorrychangedmyusername lots of people think that sadly
Jazz has never died. It's still pretty much alive, at least in Europe.
Cory Henry's face says hes "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do....but it must be done" 🔥🔥
*teleports behind u* nothing personnel... pleb
I also love how Shaun Martin is like "Dude, what in the F are you even doing? You're possessed!" and he just walks away because he can't even sit next to him anymore.
The face of "y'all ain't ready"
"3 Jazz Solos That Nearly Made Me Quit Playing..."
That Corey Henry Solo made me start playing keys. 😉
3:06 That bass player is thinkin' "Man, Oscar's left hand is better at playing than my entire brain"
that bass player is henning olsted (got the name wrong probably). one od the most virtuosistic bassist ever
@@Roberto-fp3qb Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
That Cory Henry solo was so incredible to listen to, and even more amazing when you watch just how much fun he's having with it. Massive credits also go to the drummer for nailing it too and keeping the energy throughout the solo
yeah larnell is crazy, he learned the entire album on the plane to the recording.
LARNELL LEWIS
Literally I heard this solo years back, played it for my mom, and we both were wowing to varying degrees at the awesomeness. It's inspiring.
also theres another 3 versions of lingus solo on DVD. :-)
@@minimatranscribe8788 all 4 equally awesome!
oscar peterson changed my life. As a black kid in canada I always assumed that the legendary jazz musicians that my parents would listen to were all from the states and I'd never be able to experience that part of culture. I'd later find out that we were both born in the same city of Montreal and warms my heart every time I hear those songs.
Let your music speak man, only then your origins will be praised.
Holy shit, really ?
Hah .. that is so cool. :-)
I remember feeling that way (totally different genre, but...) as a kid downloading demoscene stuff from BBSes. What all those Europeans could do in an 8-track S3M file, or 4KB of ASM code.. just insane. And all the get-togethers happening over there that I missed out on. sigh.. If I ever found out that it was going on in my home town, right under my nose, I would be elated, and also profoundly disappointed that I didn't know about it at the time. LOL
Both Montreal and the rest of Canada have top level jazz players!
@@zacha6066 Yes, and country music, and gorgeous women, and famous sports, be proud Canada!
As a high school saxophonist, I experience this every time I listen to any jazz, which is every day lol. I'm pretty ok for a high schooler I guess, but it's SO daunting to think that I'll need to practice hard for YEARS before I'll be able to improvise on a level anywhere close to that of Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Eric Marienthal, etc. It's pretty discouraging but I haven't quit yet so I guess I'll get there someday.
totally agree. i've been playing clarinet since i was a sixth grader and am now a high school junior, and every time i see or hear clarinetists who have been playing for decades i get kind of intimidated. you'll get there one day definitely!
Hylian Alph Gaming definitely, with enough motivation you can get almost anywhere.
Two things: First, don't compare yourself to anyone, it's not particularly productive when it comes to your own improvisational voice. Two, if you're going to compare, only do it on the basis of your ability to play those guys' EXACT solos. Omnibook, transcriptions, etc. Those two things go hand in hand. Your knowledge of the language and its roots are important, so it's worth learning transcriptions to understand it insofar as it allows you to decipher what some of the sounds you hear when you listen to jazz actually are. Then, armed with that knowledge, your actual improvisational voice will develop to be uniquely yours. So don't compare that aspect of your playing to anybody else. It's your voice. Learn the vocab, but say what you want with it.
@@CharlesCornellStudios I've never really thought of it that way, but that's pretty encouraging. And now that you mention it it's really not productive just to compare myself to better people. Thanks for the response and the new perspective, also I love your content.
Im a guitarist and Coltrane and Joshua Redman make me feel that way lol
Cory Henry is the reason I want to actually get better at piano.
Corey Henry's solo brought me to literal tears. It's got to be one is the most glorious things I've ever heard. It totally made me want to quit. I didn't touch my keyboard for at least 2 weeks.
That solo still breaks my brain.
I just watched his solo for the first time (how i made my way to this vid) and i literally started crying. I'm not a pianist but I am a musician and it was completely mind-blowing. This might sound dramatic but it honestly felt like i was listening to music for the first time
"I quit the piano for 2 months and had crying fits at night." This is what I will show people who just do not understand the world of jazz.
Of course i don't understand it. The only world i live in is at earth
Unfortunately for me, I quit for 2 months and I'm still quitting having never picked up my main instrument (saxophone) in probably 15 years or so. I think it was a combination of listening to John Coltrane, Michael Brecker, and Jeff Coffin. I just realized that I was never going to get to anything close to that level no matter how much I practiced.
As much as I have regrets for doing that, I'm still very grateful that I was into jazz back then because it is still, to this day, my favorite genre of music to listen to. Snarky Puppy is probably the best collective of musicians I've heard in a long damn time. The stuff they come up with is mind blowing. I've seen them in person twice now, and each time has been one of the most incredible experiences for me.
Anyway, if anyone is reading this and has one of these infamous "what in the F am I even doing?" moments when listening to something amazing, and you just want to quit. Do me a big favor and DON'T DO IT! While it's true that you might not ever reach the level of who you're listening to, believe me when I say there is still plenty of room for you to shine. You'll fit in just fine. Don't be like me.

smooth comment xD
i remember the first solo i ever transcribed. i must have been 13 or 14 at the time and i had just watched the bbc young jazz musician of the year awards the night before my lesson. i loved it. i told my teacher about it and he, being an actual jazz musician asked me if i wanted to learn how to play that stuff properly. so he told me to listen to the ella fitzgerald version of in a mellow tone, and i transcribed the scat solo. this was also the beginning of my long and arduous journey with learning ii-V-I s in all the keys and trying my best to improv over chords (i’m still only a teen, so i’m always learning)
also esperanza 👏🏻spalding 👏🏻 omfg she is a literal god i can’t believe her level of skill it’s insane
Minoru Mukaiya’s solo on “Casiopea - Swallow 1979” has been my biggest inspiration so far. Just amazing
live one, you mean?
Your hair looks like Justin Beibers old hair.
Looking like wavywebsurf's older brother.
Maybe it is?
Wait, he had a wig made out of JB's hair? 😮
His hair is what Trump thinks his hair looks like.
For me:
1) Cory Henry in Lingus
2) Skuli Sverrison in Low Levels, High Stakes (Allan Holdsworth)
3) Jaco Pastorius in A Portrait Of Tracy
Some people have no clue about Jaco and when they hear that, immediately think SWV. SWV had to get it from somewhere. Pastorious was way ahead of his time.
@@itwasbetterwithhats820 mines too
Nice to see some love for Skúli Sverrison!
@@Tursh101 I will say as a 90s kid, SWV’s Rain is the way I was introduced to Portrait of Tracy. My dad did play Weather Report & tons of Pat Metheny when I was a kid but not as often as my sister blasting SWV and any 90s R&B & Hip hop in the house when our parents were out.
Rain isn’t the first thing I think of anymore at all, but it’s one song of many that made me start asking what inspired this tune or what did the original sound like before the sample, so it’s not all bad. With the beginning of the internet I didn’t have all this knowledge &access to more music that wasn’t in my house or on the radio till I was older, but I was still curious.. I know some people born after me aren’t real lovers of music or want to be (or are now) musicians or composers, they just don’t have that drive or passion to want to know the origins of great music, they just care about the beat or who’s singing or rapping over it more than paying tribute to the creators that inspired the next gens (& giving these legends their flowers while they’re still here before they go)
*hears Charles talk about Lingus*
Me: "Please analyze it, pleaseeee"
Charles: "In fact I'm gonna do a full analysis of Cory's solo"
That's literally the best thing it has happened to me in 2020
On a different website that costs money
@@max.levenson there's always a catch hahah
@@max.levenson Very little money though, literally $3 per month
@@max.levenson I’d say it’s fully justified and worth it. An analysis like that is some real shit, people would prolly expect to pay for something like that at the level that Charles can analyze it at.
Your first video on Nebula should be free of charge and no sign up required. It works for me.
Like for Charles to turn the camera around that way
I can’t be the only person who thinks Charles is getting younger in every video like I’m getting flashbacks to high school interview Charles rn what is happening.
In addition to being an insane master of the instrument, Oscar Peterson was also articulate, well-spoken, and blazingly intelligent. So much talent in one human. It sorta feels like we don't make people like this anymore.
Most musician or figures in general back then was so articulate. I dont know exactly what specific factors that caused this noticeable comparison of articulacy between the generations.
"The basses drop out leaving just the piano, basically reminding me my left hand sucks.""
...more like non-bass-ically reminding you your left hand sucks, hehe.
Charles: Jazz solos that nearly made me quit
Bill Wurtz: has quit
Plot twist: Bill Wurtz heard an awesome jazz solo
this is a fine swell theory
Hearing Oscar Peterson say he quit for two months and had crying fits at night makes me feel better about quitting during quarantine and having crying fits at night..
I’m a simple man, I see Cory Henry. I click.
Bro yes. That's why I'm here.
Wait Charles, didn’t you just move like 1-2 years ago?

Corey henrys solo was a momumental moment in jazz imo and absolutely deserves to be revered as much as the "greats"
Yes!! I wonder if the people that were in the studio listening were realizing they were witnessing history happening!! His face at the beginning proves that he's about to make Lingus explode, his hands and ears are about to guide him to do something crazy
@@jazzblossom4122 You should watch back that video. I noticed that people inside the mixing booth were going nuts when Cory snapped. It's so fkn good man.
This happened to me as a composer. I make music for small indie games and I was feeling quite confident with the last one we made public. Then, I played Hollow Knight and that composer blowed my mind. Christopher Larkin and me have similar styles but he is so so so much better! He's way of orchestrating is so elegant! I wanted to quit, but I instead began studying and creating from different perspectives and now I'm feeling pretty good!
Domi and JD Beck make me want to quit. They're just soooooooo good
Came here to say this
Never quit! Never give up, never surrender. My motto
Thanks Kim
truly inspirational. thanks papa jong-un
Darn it Charles!!!! I JUST got out of rehab over that Cory Henry solo...I feel a relapse coming on...🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
i’m starting to think that these soloists aren’t humans
I saw Oscar a lot in the 70's. Carnegie hall with Joe Pass. Saratoga arts center with a trio. I saw him play alone too. What I love most about him is that his virtuosity doesn't overshadow the soulfulness of his playing. Man, he was so soulful! He really touched people on a deep level rather than just blowing them away with technique (although he certainly did plenty of that). Check him out playing caravan solo. Wow!
As a gospel/church pianist, Anthony Burger’s version of Goodby World Goodby made me stop and go “nope, I’ll never be that good”. And honestly, it’s probably something you could learn and play in a few hours but every time it makes its rounds on my Spotify shuffle it seems so daunting and almost impossible for me! But it also motivates me to practice more. So it’s a love hate relationship! Lol.
Ladies and gentlemen: Charles Cornell. The jazz musician who moves around houses a lot.

Thank you for amplifying black artists
I think you’re 100% right on with your whole discussion about the “OGs.”
If Corey Henry was playing in the 40s, we’re 100% talking about him as being one of the top dogs.
Is it just me, or does the background look different?
nah, its just you
Just u
No no, it's different. Even the background MUSIC is different. Yikes!
I think every serious musician has a “quit list” like this.
I have one for guitar.
I know my drummer buddies all have a list.
mayer’s gotta be on it
As a drummer I can confirm I have a list as well
And bassists, too. I had just heard of Pastorius when Weather report were due to play at the (then) Hammersmith Odeon, back in the 70's. At that time I was mainly playing bass, and one of my childhood friends did likewise. Also, his father, who was a jazz double bassist who used to play in bands with my father, came along with us to see WR. Well, I did, but they were there to see Pastorius. At one point in the evening, all three of us turned to each other, and decided that as the river Thames was only a short distance away, that we might as well just go and jump in.
Jesus Molina. Check him out. He’s there with Cory.
Absolutely!
Totally agree. So is Beka Gochiashvili (see the Chick Corea You Tube). Not on the piano, but I feel Alex Han and Sean Jones are that way for me on sax and trumpet (at least w.r.t. recent musicians).

I just wanted to come back to this video and personally thank you for introducing me to Snarky Puppy, I’ve had some of the greatest listening experiences listening to them 👌🏽
Yeah yeah Cory Henry but no one is giving enough respect to jazz legend Oscar Peterson.
Yeah Yeah Cory Henry but many of his ideas are Chick Corea's on this solo...
@@BixenteFabregas well that happens with everyone right...besides his groove is much smoother then corea's
BixenteFabregas jazz is the art of stealing ideas and making them your own
@@user-gi3ro9rm9k exactly!!! even though sometimes im trying to understand how Coltrane played love supreme with such a unique style or how Steve Coleman's lines were created.I can see Brecker though comin from trane and grossman
3:07 - gotta appreciate the bassist being like: what the hell is happening? How is he doing this? Can I go home? 😂😅
The bassist is NHØP BTW
He seems like he's having a great time to me, just marveling at the mad man.
even though I'm chinese-american, growing up blues and jazz really spoke to me and touched my soul. It inspired me to teach myself guitar and try to mimic robert johnson, SRV, john lee hooker and other pioneers.
Inspiring!! Follow your dreams!
NHØP; Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, one of the bassists in the clip with Oscar Petersen was no slouch either, and would probably inspire the same feeling in many bassists out there. He's insanely fast on that upright with awesome feel and accuracy at that speed.
Agreed
