Yes!!! This is the video session I most wanted to see on the Wongnotes album, and was so sad to not see it before! Love seeing everyone play off of each other here! Kevin's solo here gets me every time!
@@Sandemose Right. It’s always super impressive to see Snarky Puppy level musicians just play so tight and professionally while also being sooooooo funky.
@@VXReef This is going to be one of the best months ever for me. I literally just got to see Snarky Puppy last night here in my city (and they were freaking amazing as always) and I have tickets to see The Wongnotes when they are in town here in another week or so. I can't wait for them to melt off my face!
Oh my god - I didn't think it existed. I'm so happy to see this, Cory!!! 2:07 Sonny POPS 3:40 Negah with the T A S T Y percussion 4:59 Love Kevin & Kenni's reaction to bringing that back around 5:26 What a great sound - that pluck above the nut 6:15 That bass run makes me cry it's so good 6:52 "Oooh" is right, Jon 6:55 Eddie with the smoothest melodies 8:19 good GOD 8:47 caught in a tornado of Eddie Barbash and we're never escaping. It's a good thing. My favorite thing about seeing this is how obvious it is everyone is having an absolute blast jamming out
at 8:19 even Neymar in the back is skeptic about that goodness! He almost got injured alone listening to that.. PS: I'm brazilian so I can troll him lol
Eddie extensively quoting Bela Fleck! Don’t think we didn’t notice. This is just the jam! Such unity and concentration and love and support for so long. If only all coworkers at all jobs could send these kinds of vibes to each other. The world would be a better place. Also, that snare is so beautifully high and low at the same time- like a punch to the gut in the best possible way.
@@BloomThat It is reminiscent of the first section of "A Celtic Melody" from "Three Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and...another tune I can't put my finger on. And then someone else in the comments, pointed out "Drowsy Maggie", which is an Irish fiddle tune. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and it was just in the style of! Or maybe a traditional Irish piece or banjo style, but it's the first thing I thought of and it hit me hard. Either way, amazing stuff pulling from around the globe and various instruments.
@@daveedson32 5 months too late. The "Drowsy Maggie" reference is used in the B section of "The Leaning Tower" from "Little Worlds" by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Just spent too much time finding it. Wouldn't be surprised if it is used elsewhere in his works. It is an ancient Irish reel. This is why I love jazz. I just went back in time to figure out where this came from (first transcription I could find was from 1858), all because Eddie decided to plop down an Irish quote in his solo. Now I need to learn a new instrument so I can play it. This reel doesn't lend itself well to brass...
Cory, you are an amazing person. Not only can you play your ass off, you also have the organizational skills, the patience to herd those cats and the drive to make all the other stuff happen. I am totally enjoying the music and all the guys (and girl) you have with you in your band as well as everyone else behind the scenes making it all sound and look spectacular..
I just realised that there is no audience so bandleader facing band! Epic key solo. Horns utterly owned it. Jesus wept Cory you have excelled. Oh my gosh. This is incredible.
Man I just heard this song for the first time yesterday--it came up on an auto playlist while I was mowing the lawn. I just had to stop mowing after I was so blown away. The solos were so damn phenomenal. Love how you can hear some of the musicians reactions from the mic bleed. Feels like a gift to be able to listen to stuff like this for the first time.
Hah, Sugar Plum Fairies on the keyboard about 2 and a half minutes in - and then on sax again at about 5 minutes. Now Scheherazade! Love the orchestral funk groove!
Cory lays it deep with Petar & Sonny as the band ride on the surf of groove. Great music is made with great company. such love and respect within the band. love this
Every note of every musician’s performance should be written down so that Cory and his Wongnotes could play it at each venue around the world ! This is my favorite piece from the album, each solo part in here is just so crazy epic !! Goose bumps every time I’m listening to that song. So inspiring lines and tones. Amazing
One of the best composition I have heard this year! You and the band enter now in the world of the best famous musicians, like Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock..have done years ago.. you're the next generation of talented musicians🙏🎸🥂
Here it's slowed down and it almost sounds like an Arabic tune, but IMO this is a very popular lick used in Irish folk tunes. It's typically played by fiddles, pipes and such. Perhaps a small tribute to The Chieftains and late Paddy Moloney?
Yes, I think it's just one of the standard reels. My first thought was one of the sets that Solas did on their first couple albums, but oh well I wouldn't remember the name of that specific tune anyway.
After hearing Petar say Lee is one of the hardest to play, splitting them up may be accidental on Coach Wong's part, or it's a long-term joke. You guys are incredible.
Very cool...Really enjoying the creativity of Cory Wong and the band...Notice at least 2 band folks also play in Jon Baptiste's "Stay Human" band on Colbert's Late Show.
Damn, I knew the older version of that song, which I already liked... but this is something else. A true demonstration of all the musical knowledge and creativity of the members of this awesome band... Thank you, that was majestic.
..another deep funkateer offering, digging the longer jam form here..love it when Corey gives a look towards the horns and that magician on the baritone comes in and starts to open up the multi horn attack..take off time..i say, you gotta always give the horns somethin somethin..epic sh*t for sure..stay safe and stay strong..New York November 3, 2021..
6:55 and again at 7:55 is Drowsy Maggie, one of the most famous irish tunes! I believe Eddie plays a lot of traditional Irish music, hearing this here made me jump out of my chair!
Gotta love seeing this vid and thinking "I wonder when Cory will be playing near here" only to check and find out that is happening tomorrow! Tix acquired!
I used to play every sax but Soprano. I even got a tattoo. But i knew when the Baritone saxophone guy was runnin out of breath cuz he was usin his elbow to bust out those notes. 👏🏽👏🏽🎶

Kevin Gastonguay is a barbarian with his keys, I like it so much.
He is genuinely cracked out I've never seen anyone play like he does
Yes!!! This is the video session I most wanted to see on the Wongnotes album, and was so sad to not see it before! Love seeing everyone play off of each other here! Kevin's solo here gets me every time!
Same! I love this tune so much!
The way Kevin & Sam both play on the nutcracker melody is amazing!!
2:17 this was just straight up out of key. Except for this great solo indeed!
@@naj_z it works in context of the journey of the solo.
@@peaelare Don’t thinks so, but yeah maybe it is taste related
The best part is the other musicians facial expressions as others are soloing. Seems like a great band to be a member of.
Yeah, since every member obviously is awesome, it must be a great band to member of. Jebuz.

less is more....
Oh my god - I didn't think it existed. I'm so happy to see this, Cory!!!
2:07 Sonny POPS
3:40 Negah with the T A S T Y percussion
4:59 Love Kevin & Kenni's reaction to bringing that back around
5:26 What a great sound - that pluck above the nut
6:15 That bass run makes me cry it's so good
6:52 "Oooh" is right, Jon
6:55 Eddie with the smoothest melodies
8:19 good GOD
8:47 caught in a tornado of Eddie Barbash and we're never escaping. It's a good thing.

This is my favorite Christmas song
Eddie has to be my favorite sax player rn. Incredible. The fiddle tune quote too, blowing my mind
The FX on the bari sax were incredible
Love the nutcracker theme at 2:08 and 4:55
You can’t see me but I’m doing that two handed index finger pointing motion at you
@@drek7361 underrated comment, what a visual!
keyboardist reaction to saxophonist stealing it.. top! :D
now we know: Lee was a nutcracker
Alto sax quote by Eddie Barbash @6:55 is the Irish reel Drowsy Maggie.
Eddie extensively quoting Bela Fleck! Don’t think we didn’t notice. This is just the jam! Such unity and concentration and love and support for so long. If only all coworkers at all jobs could send these kinds of vibes to each other. The world would be a better place. Also, that snare is so beautifully high and low at the same time- like a punch to the gut in the best possible way.
Likewise for Kevin Gastonguay and Sam Greenfield quoting Tchaikovsky to each other! Rad. :)
I was trying to place the Eddie reference, do you know what Bela Fleck song he was referencing?

@@TheCoreyHansen Great catch! I love these connections. :)
The keyboard solo by Kevin Gastonguay is amazing!
This song is wild! Love Cory standing up front like he's conducting the funk. Condfunktor? Funkductor?
He is a funky duc(k) - vulfpeck
Funk doctor…prescribing the funk to all of us
Funkductor sounds about right
I'm going with Dr Funkductor
@@mue234 ๅฟๆๆ
The Groove = Amazing
The Composition = Incredible
but
The Band Chemistry = Perfect.
Great Job as always!
As a guy named Lee, this song is just amazing. Thanks for naming it after me, its an honor 🙂
I like how everyone is "out of uniform" - except Cory. Still rockin' the striped tee!
Cory, you are an amazing person. Not only can you play your ass off, you also have the organizational skills, the patience to herd those cats and the drive to make all the other stuff happen. I am totally enjoying the music and all the guys (and girl) you have with you in your band as well as everyone else behind the scenes making it all sound and look spectacular..
My face hurts from my stank face on the whole song! Such beautiful sounds and spirit!
I could listen to Cory and Sonny T play one note ALL DAY. And the phrasing on the bari solo was insane!
I just realised that there is no audience so bandleader facing band! Epic key solo. Horns utterly owned it. Jesus wept Cory you have excelled. Oh my gosh. This is incredible.
This is soooo super good in all aspects...Happy to be alive the same time as Cory Wong and his team !!

the whole thing with the bari sax quoting the keyboard quoting that one piece was such a real and genuine moment and i loved it
I’m hearing some serious Cannonball / Zawinul vibes….bloomin’ marvellous!
Eddie, Irish phrasing in Jazz is what I want to be able to communicate and you're my hero of this.
Do you know what this song is?? At about 7:00? I just can't put my finger on it.
@@JoeKmetz That would be Drowsy Maggie, the reel !
What a performance! This groove, these saxophone solos. When funk and jazz have fun together like this, we want more and more
One of my favorite Wong tunes - so excited for season 2!!
Thank you, Cory - and thank you, Wongnotes!! - for not just creating such beautiful music but for putting it on here for us all to share! Thank you!
Oh man…that sax player with the beard is phenomenial. They all are. What a track to wake up and have as the first song to listen to today.
Love this group! Thank you for the great and authentic performance!!!
Cory lays it deep with Petar & Sonny as the band ride on the surf of groove. Great music is made with great company. such love and respect within the band. love this
Eddie with the Celtic nod!
In and out of it with variations. 👍🏼👍🏼
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one that noticed
Music to crush planets with. An Expanse of incredible musicianship.

Holy shit. the outro sax solo with that jazzmetal background is SLAMMING !!!!
How can this video only have 200k views when I have definitely seen it about a miliion times? What a damn masterpiece!
The best tune you’ve released in a while. Love to see your incredible band really get to stretch out
couldn't agree more, @Matthew Lowe
Second ONLY to the amazing music, are the comments to all Cory Wong videos. Musicians commenting on musicians. Pure joy!!
Nutcracker quotes I can deal with but when Eddie started playing Drowsy Maggie, I lost it
100% amazing
dude thanks for the name! that had always been the unnamed standard reel in my head.
This is undeniably MASSIVE! What an incredible recording!!
remember hearing it live for the first time. There is so much that can't be put in to words. Astonishing. Alto sax solo for the win. Thank you Cory
Man Eddie's solos are something else, he never fails to hit me right in the feels, what a fucking legend !
It’s been rough. Thank you Cory for providing me some ear candy and happiness.
It's going to bother me that I can't remember the name of the tune that the solo around 7:54 is based on.
Edit - It's Drowsy Maggie
Here it's slowed down and it almost sounds like an Arabic tune, but IMO this is a very popular lick used in Irish folk tunes. It's typically played by fiddles, pipes and such. Perhaps a small tribute to The Chieftains and late Paddy Moloney?
It's killing me too, I heard it a million times growing up. Probably on a Cheiftains CD my dad would play?
Yes, I think it's just one of the standard reels. My first thought was one of the sets that Solas did on their first couple albums, but oh well I wouldn't remember the name of that specific tune anyway.
Simply fantastic. A new era funk.
Love the content you already put out.. but still.. more of this type of thing please.
The world needs more 10 minute jams.
The ping-ponged echo on the sax solo is freaking great
I didn't know how much I wanted a Wong Notes slow jam like this but now it's like I never would have been complete without it.
oh my word, this hauls the biggest load of heavy funk I've ever heard, the change in tone from the initial intro is awesome.
Love the Herbie Hancock feel, definitely hearing the Chameleon inspiration here but with a ton of originality as well!
The intro of the solo piano is pure gold!!!
When the brass come back with the Sugar Plum Fairy jam / Kev's face!!
Genius 🙌
love it
Keep spreding that love man, I see your comments everywhere and it always gives me a smile.
@@PadeMoro thanks for reminding me: ')
Hate it. It is cringe af
There is simply no better band in the land.
This whole album and this performance is amazing!
Amazing alto end solo long high and low notes
It's beastly isn't it?
That keys solo ooooooooo myyyyyyyy!!! Added to the repeat playlist
Eddie, Kenni, Sam my brothers, trumpets&trombone my brothers too, and all men's, and girl my sister, Cory great work, with respect!!! Take five)
is Mr. Barbash playing some Northern Folk Tune in between^^ - nice!!
Looking forward to meeting you guys in Toronto soon!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!
After hearing Petar say Lee is one of the hardest to play, splitting them up may be accidental on Coach Wong's part, or it's a long-term joke. You guys are incredible.

BAM!!!!!!! TALK ABOUT ROCKIN IT!!!!!!! Cory and company, you all did a fantastic cut with this jam! I will have this on loop for daze!!!!!!!!!
thanks for giving the sax guys time to jam, bad ass solos guys
Super stoked for the show in SLC this Saturday!
..you’re very lucky 🍀!
Amazing what these guys do on a one note vamp. Juicy af
Damn, I knew the older version of that song, which I already liked... but this is something else.
A true demonstration of all the musical knowledge and creativity of the members of this awesome band...
Thank you, that was majestic.
Funk personified mesmerising hope to see on their tour.b
I am so excited to see this live
Holy shit. That may be the best jam session I’ve ever seen Cory Wong put on. What did I just watch!!
Very nice. Love it! 👌🏿❤️
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿❤️
One of my favorites from the album. The video makes it so much better.

I've WAITED for this! It blew my socks off the first time i heard it on the album. It still does, but now on video. This band is amazing!
Man I've been waiting for this too come out for so long. By far my favorite from the album.
This is heavy metal for sure
Heavy funk
cory and the wongnotes is the soundtrack to 2021 for me.
What the Funk 😎👍 Outstanding, beginning to have faith in the younger guys keeping the Funk alive 🙏😎♥️

This is what a man needs on this rainy Wednesday
2024 and it's a rainy Wednesday 🌧
Can’t….resist……funk…too..strong!
Props to Gomez Adams for nailing it on the sax solo
That dance of the suger plum lick from the keyboard player then quoted by the sax player 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻love that shit 😬
Gotta love seeing this vid and thinking "I wonder when Cory will be playing near here" only to check and find out that is happening tomorrow! Tix acquired!
C'est incroyable, live - la cigale paris 2022 olalala gros bisous - rémi
Such good energy! What a vibe i love this one!
Oh CORY you did it AGAIN. !!!!!
So good in every way. Didn`t have anything as good for quite a while. So badassfunky. THX!
OH MY GAWD! This is OUTRAGEOUSLY Awesome!
Anyone know the name of the tune he uses at 8:06? Pretty sure that's a old folk melody you hear on bagpipes and penny whistles and such.
Love it!
And now I have a song to send to Myanmar fellow whenever I beat them in game
Cory, you're such an inspiration. L♥ve from Buenos Aires!!!
Maybe the best thing I've ever heard
I used to play every sax but Soprano. I even got a tattoo. But i knew when the Baritone saxophone guy was runnin out of breath cuz he was usin his elbow to bust out those notes. 👏🏽👏🏽🎶
4:35 daaaang Sammy was already setting up the harmony to copy the Sugar Plum Fairy reference!
Kevin absolutely killed it,phewww
Can't wait for your show in LA!
I think this may be my favorite off the Wongnotes
The mix is killing too!
Hey Cory, lots of lefty love in the band between the drummer and bass player. Push Fender for a lefty signature model.
