Michael League manages to make the simplest of playing extraordinary. I like how he plays, it doesnt feel like, "Hey look at me, im a badass bass player" its always well suited for the moment.
Man, I could sing praises to these guys all day. They put all the pieces together, restrained virtuosity, sensitivity, an outstanding groove, superb taste and dynamics, tremendous listeners and communicators.
Music has no color, prejudice, or bias. It is a mode of communication with many different languages. It transcends human racism, and speaks to the soul of the individual. It is God given expression of ones soul
Holy crap! Michael League. I never heard of you, but God damn! Fantastic bassist with a fabulous sense of rhythm and command over his fellow musicians. I feel like with Michael as your bassist that he'd be able to lead you anywhere with confidence! As a drummer, I'd be honored to jam with him.
It is not very common to see a guy using a matched grip playing this type of music at this level. You hear his blues rock influence ,but you also get the nice jazz top end that comes from advancing to more complicated rhythms. Very nice indeed.
I love the way these guys play like they have nothing to prove to anyone, especially Nate Nasty on the drums .. they just flow with the feeling of the grove and leave all the guessing and figuring and mess to their haters .. they know they got skillz!!
6 people didn`t like this. how can one not like this? i don`t get it. this performance is just absolutley wonderful and awesome. that spirit and the feel. wow!
Agree. And I like how Snarky Puppy is accessible to and introduces jazz to non-jazz audiences. We have a secret gem like this in Australia - they take VGM and bring jazz to the next generation: ruclips.net/video/LZo0GhWrMt8/видео.html
Good Lord, yes. This is the sort of music the world needs more of. Please tell me there's some sort of album forthcoming. It's the good and right thing to do, guys...
I hear you buddy! Sitting here with my bass and not knowing whether to use it to practice or kill myself with. Musicians on this level just fry my brain...
Why be jealous? Don't think of quitting just because you are not as good as League. It's not what most people will expect you to be because most people have no clue what you are doing. If YOU want these skills then practice every single fuckin day and but without forcing yourself. You must have the will otherwise you`ll never reach what League already has.
so much of fun these guys are having, I can make that by how much fun I am having just by listening and watching them on RUclips. awesome guys, I so want to join in for this tune :)

well said
I think that's what makes a great bassist
Can I do a league pun, or are those getting overplayed?
(Dang, I already did a pun by accident. Smh)
That floor tom sounds heavenly.
Corey Henry is from another planet, you can see it in his eyes.
in his eyes you can see the grace of the holy spirit. This is the happiness that can only be obtained from the Living God!
He is from the planet Heart.
He got that outer space gospel.
Mike's got the worst case of bassface I've ever seen (and I'm a bass player), it's spread to his whole body lol. AWEsome groove!! :)
Lol @ “it’s spread to his whole body”
He s having multiple bassgasms
@Clemens Schrage Hahaha
Being that far deep in the marianna trench of pocket doesn’t come for free. You gotta give your body to the music
Only surpassed by Joe Dart's bass neck I presume ;) and agree this has an awesome groove that you just want to come back to every now and then.
Damn I really wish they jammed one more song in that studio then it would be enough for a great album.
Michael league has some of the best facial expressions while playing music I've ever seen 😂👌🏻
Man, I could sing praises to these guys all day. They put all the pieces together, restrained virtuosity, sensitivity, an outstanding groove, superb taste and dynamics, tremendous listeners and communicators.
amen
Eric Mills “restrained virtuosity” is beautifully stated!
True
Sweet
At the time you look in Michael's face you have to laugh because of seeing how much fun he has got during jamming with them
Nathaniel Townsley is one BAMFing boss on the drums
3:55
When you try to impress a girl that doesn’t care lol
Talking about Mike 😂
Such an accurate analysis. Now I know why the song is called creepin
hahaha I've watched this so many times but never caught that sad face
The groove just creeps up on you
This is so encouraging for musicians to study... God bless
Can't stop watching and listening!!! Thanks guys!!! That's real music!!!

Shout amen! somebody.
That groove and bass at about 7:30 is just pure genius. Omg this group has perfect chemistry.
This seriously might be the best thing I've ever seen....
Nathaniel Townsley just chillin' and Michael League and Cory Henry acting like two buddies goofing off in class. lol.
Amazing musicians!

Tell him not to pull so many faces when he plays
wow im surprised you haven't heard of him. his a beast. Its crazy how they grown as artists since this video.
One of my favorite drummers Nathaniel Townsley so tasteful on the kit!!!!

Agreed, if they make an album, i would buy it STRAIGHT AWAY!
I love the way these guys play like they have nothing to prove to anyone, especially Nate Nasty on the drums .. they just flow with the feeling of the grove and leave all the guessing and figuring and mess to their haters .. they know they got skillz!!
I could listen to this all day! Man that Corey Henry has some god given talent!!! This groove is something special man..
The more I listen to and transcribe this, the more i love it. man is a genius and a monster player!
If you have a transcription, would love to see it!
Stevie Wonder is cryin cause of how good this is,
Oh my god this is extremly helping me going through my anxiety rn, those guys are Amazing, they probably came from another planet, god this is extasy.
This is taking me places man, the pureness of these guys expressing themselves and having fun is truly amazing
This was so musical. Fantastic improv
6 people didn`t like this. how can one not like this? i don`t get it. this performance is just absolutley wonderful and awesome. that spirit and the feel. wow!
Gosh ! Pure groove, pure joy. Crazy stuff.
Is Cory a normal human being? this man s skill is pathological, sick i tell u
Their communication is so beautiful in this video. This is a trio of world class musicians having a musical dialogue/conversation.
I have know watched this five times in a raw, and it STILL hasn't sunk it on how crazy this groove is. UGH!!!!!!!!!
Michael and Nathaniel were so tight, locked in.
EASILY the BEST instrumental version of this song for me, by a LONG SHOT: JUST AWESOME!!!!
wow!!! Im glad to see Corey doing other music outside of church!!! refreshing
Such musicianship is what makes greatness. And these people are full of it. It's beautiful. Draws people in. Sigh. In awe. :')
Agree. And I like how Snarky Puppy is accessible to and introduces jazz to non-jazz audiences. We have a secret gem like this in Australia - they take VGM and bring jazz to the next generation: ruclips.net/video/LZo0GhWrMt8/видео.html
by now this should have more than 250k views, come on world!
thank god for these guys
That was about 12 dozen kinds of cool right there....wow. Sweet version!
1:54 Mike telling him to turn up without saying a word and then Cory just kills it with that perfect section it's just so good.
Good Lord, yes. This is the sort of music the world needs more of. Please tell me there's some sort of album forthcoming. It's the good and right thing to do, guys...
Stevie CLASSIC Funked Up!! Awesome GROOVE !! Homage to the Greatest
Single Songwriter of our Time. Love the Bass Sound!!!!!

NAT TOWNSLEY JR. IS ONE OF MY HEROS

Sometimes I despair with what’s going on in music. Then I heard this!
COULD LISTEN ALL DAY!!!! Cory makes that Hammond submit!!! Thanks Michael
Jesus, you broke my ears. My ears are broken!!! (IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE)
Incredible! It's so uplifting and inspiring to hear such beautiful music.
Cory Henry is always on my mind but he can warm my heart... for sure!
This makes me "cheese" real hard every time. Their communication is everything!
can i like this twice??? So soulful
this is what music is all about. smiling and having a good time
I hear you buddy!
Sitting here with my bass and not knowing whether to use it to practice or kill myself with. Musicians on this level just fry my brain...

:)
Oohh this is nice, wait -- have I been listening for 8 minutes already?!
Killin this killer tune ❤
Cory Henry is playing the heck out of that organ.
I think the guy on the guitar was in his own world but the organist makes the complexity of the organ keys look easy.
so much of fun these guys are having, I can make that by how much fun I am having just by listening and watching them on RUclips. awesome guys, I so want to join in for this tune :)
I think every musician of this type would love to join them for anything they do.
Yo tell mike he needs to get the band back together. Only two vids is criminal.
Incredible playing and musicianship all round. Great stuff guys.

drummer is very disciplined and knows exactly when to do his fills.
It feels like they are talking,really good job!
