@@andywright8803 Yeah, he is Michael League from Snarky Puppy, but he actually looks a bit like Thomas Müller, the football (soccer) player from Bayern Munich. :D
In improvisation we all have our vocabulary and tend to say/play certain things over and over again because we know it sounds good and it works. Its not about ego or anything like that.
pretty sure 3:35 is a chromatic circle of fifths progression which is extremely common in all genres of music including jazz, so it makes sense that cory incorporated it in both solos
@@passenger911 unfortunately, since Cory left SP, Michael hasn't had the chance of playing with him every day. It's videos like this that make me want to watch Cory still playing with them to this day
Seen this video so many times. That melodic world Cory entered from 3:00 - 3:45 is the sweetest melody I've ever heard in my whole life. I hate what his left hand was doing cos that was too good. Who in the world is this skilled?
not just some of the deepest grooves but some of the sickest gospel voicings and hippest neo-soul embellishments since Stevie... absolutely disgusting, and superb transcription; subscribed !
That bassist is Michael League and is the literal genius writer, composter and arranger beyond all of Snarky Puppy's music. He IS the brains of the music.

@@michalmalicki9613 from a quick glance / listen it's sort of Vm/I > VI > IV > IVm. You get the sussyness / tension of the Vm/I, lovely rising feeling when we move up to the VI, feels like we're going to IIm but in reality we go to something close to that, IV, then the change to the IVm which brings such a strikingly 'nostalgic' feeling, true musicality on Cory's part. Beautiful progression especially seeing as everything has been quite sussy / grounded by the tonic pedal up until that point.
@@michalmalicki9613 if you know very little about music theory like me, let's just say I saw a Stevie Wonder apparition in that room right at the moment those chords began
The beginning of the solo on the second synth is unbelievably similar to how TOTO used to sound in the 1980s (in my opinion). Also, I love the public singing these little phrases he comes up with later on (Freddie Mercury and Jacob Collier would be enamoured). Great job on your part.
Yes! Isn't he quoting something? I'm trying to figure out what it is. That little melody sounds so familiar and the crowd goes wild as well when he plays it.
I feel like when he starts this riff in 6:03 it's like a reference to something? I would love for somebody to explain. Genuinely love these two playing together. Cory is a very talented musician and composer. Wow. Just wow.
What an amazing, groovy and truly inspiring performance this is! Cory Henry is one of a kind. And a big shout out to the man who transcripted the whole song: Timothy Gondola! Great job, man! 👏👏👏
Mega gracie ten jazz na waszym kontynęcie to korzeniami tradycja, waszych przodków od negro spiritual,blues styl, improwizacje macie to wasz glos sposob gry poczucie i zabawa harmonia jazzową brawo 🎶🎹🌍👪👏👏👏
the day people stop freaking out over somone super imposing circle of fith movments over a pedal tonic will be a sad day, this is awsome, especially this modal interchange. 3:13. thx for sheet music. :)
this reminds me of zawinul. his technique is so supreme that he can just play anything at this point which gives him all the musical freedom - no need to show off!
Yeah, when Cory calms the initial dominant vamp -down at 0.58 he goes to that Zawinul feel and triadic vamp from which he ascends to heaven with his major9 gospel mastery like George Duke on expenses-paid vacation...
Wow, never expected to see this notated. By the way, does anybody know what tune Cory is playing on from bars 135 to 148? I've been wanting the answer to that for years since I heard it; Absolutely love that bit; I was always intrigued by that part because the audience has a sudden, visceral reaction to it, almost as if he was playing something very familiar to them; The audience is really pumped after that and it seemed to be caused by what Cory started off in those bars (or was it just a matter of 'how' he was playing right then?). Several people have asked about this in the comment section on the original vid but nobody's given an answer yet.
That part's so great. I always assumed it was the release of suddenly veering off into much different harmonies after the previous few minutes that gets everybody worked up. And not that he was quoting anything specific.

Where was it? Looks like a workplace of some kind.
@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 no clue, but Timothy always links the original video or audio in the description when possible.
It was in Brasil
@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 A church in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! :)
@@felipebritomusic Thanks.
I didn't know Thomas Muller could play the bass like that. Such a multifaceted individual🙂
actually the first time I noticing it and I can't stop laughing... thanks for that xD
Thought it was Michael League. He is well known for pulling faces
@@andywright8803 Yeah, he is Michael League from Snarky Puppy, but he actually looks a bit like Thomas Müller, the football (soccer) player from Bayern Munich. :D
@@andywright8803 welcome to the joke...
LOL… I exactly thought the same 😂 (Thomas Müller)
WOW. that crowd engagement is next level
We're cool like that here in Brazil! :)
It's a crowd full or musicians
The guy in the audience in red shirt, on the left, is the real star! He even tried to lead the the rest of the audience at times xD
i'm pretty sure its a vocal vst
Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, babe
I wish his studio albums would give more space to his keyboard improvisation. It's so great.
2:08 shows how much fun a few funky notes can produce and i love it
Quoting yourself is the jazz equivalent of the ego trip and i love it
so I'm not the only one who hears the Lingus solo at 3:35 and 4:35?
In improvisation we all have our vocabulary and tend to say/play certain things over and over again because we know it sounds good and it works. Its not about ego or anything like that.

@@empowers67 oh boy you must be fun at parties lol
@@floriansee9995 its just theory…
I love Corey telling the drummer "sidestick" at 1:11, sets that section up perfectly.
Bass player was having the greatest day of his life.
Michael League always looks like that. He gets into it.
I can understand his feelings. Not everyday this guy have a chance to play with a great Cory Henry. Oh, wait..
@@passenger911 unfortunately, since Cory left SP, Michael hasn't had the chance of playing with him every day. It's videos like this that make me want to watch Cory still playing with them to this day
@@Chris-px2gfwhy he left
@@Unathiwealth probably doing his own thing now. Cory Henry and the Apostles, I think?
Seen this video so many times. That melodic world Cory entered from 3:00 - 3:45 is the sweetest melody I've ever heard in my whole life. I hate what his left hand was doing cos that was too good. Who in the world is this skilled?
The nod to the lingus solo was fun. I loved how every time he did so the crowd went wild
I've probably watched that full video like 30 times. Cory is one of the best, and him and Michael always had a great chemistry as well.
They've played together for a while now. And they always seem like they have a great time. It comes across in the music
Me too!
They make such a great combo!
I am not sure what is more impressive: the actual playing or transcription of this session.
the discipline from michael is A1 & the overall funk is insane🔥
Michael is holding back SO much, so many people would overplay in this situation and he’s leaving all the freedom to Cory rightfully
素晴らしい！こんなセッション今まで見たことがない！
プレーヤーとお客さんが一つになっている！！
Such a legendary video, it's really worth it watching the whole thing
You know it’s a crowd full of musicians when they’re singing harmonies😂
SAY SO!!! 😂😂😂😂
I've watched this video some 80 times... Many years ago. Is one of the best of Cory and Michael... Simple genius. Continuum Is also a fantastic video
Same hahah
not just some of the deepest grooves but some of the sickest gospel voicings and hippest neo-soul embellishments since Stevie... absolutely disgusting, and superb transcription; subscribed !
My fav is League and Henry playing Continuum. Legendary. This is session is f’n awesome too
Bassist is just happy to be there.

These nuances of Cory's playing. And then these really romantic chord progressions... Love his playing!
Huge props on transcribing this awesome jam. Wouldve killed to see Snarky with Cory back in the day.
3:12- 3:23 is so incredible... what a genius
Honestly I dont know where to start to sound like that. Is a Masterpiece
Yes! My goodness. No clue about the actual harmony there, but oh my, does he make it sound so good!

Definitely hear you on the Toto front. The patch reminded me of the keys on Pamela, and the form of his soloing definitely fits with their style too.
It’s crazy they are so connected it’s like on A different level! Goosebumps here guys! Thank you!
What a great jam session! I also love the audience!
This is just too beautiful to watch...music is a love language...
Corey Henry has been hitting home runs for years now. It's not human at this point.
That descending bass lick at 7:07 is wonderful
Mmmh so tasty
this is by far one of the coolest little jams I've seen in my life.... and: always just pure joy to see Michael freakin out life on stage ^^
3:12 - 3:22 took me out. That is so beautiful
Sooo sweet and gospely 😍😍
Yes! Isn't he quoting something? I'm trying to figure out what it is. That little melody sounds so familiar and the crowd goes wild as well when he plays it.
@@julienkent2021 I also recognise it, it's definitely a quote of something. Just can't think what!
@@JakeMDavey I think he is quoting his solo from Snarky Puppy
@@julienkent2021 quoting God
i've been watching the og video at least once a month for years it brings me so much joy
I feel so happy
Nobody but nobody weaves a colorful joyspell like Cory!!! ❤
Are you freakin kidding me?!??!? Dude! That was amazing! Inspiration!!!
i love how lost cory gets in the sauce while he solos. the look on his face is pure love for his craft.
He does these weird "ah yes, that's what we're doing, bet" faces when he plays, hahaha I love his weird energy
I feel like when he starts this riff in 6:03 it's like a reference to something? I would love for somebody to explain. Genuinely love these two playing together. Cory is a very talented musician and composer. Wow. Just wow.
Absolutely love this! Bring music back like this along with the live playing! This is what I would love to see return!🔥🔥
Those after church jam sessions hit different
What an amazing, groovy and truly inspiring performance this is! Cory Henry is one of a kind. And a big shout out to the man who transcripted the whole song: Timothy Gondola! Great job, man! 👏👏👏
Legend says they are still jamming that groove today
It's always a nice treat when the audience is musically competent.
Legend has it they are still playing as we speak.
Loved every minute of that jam we need more sessions like that's the way it used to be
Thank you for sharing this and for puting out all this great music with notation. Yes, I’ll subscribe 🙏🏼🎶🌱
Man, this is just filled with so much joy! I’m grinning!!

i return to this video every 2 days and it gives me so much fun each time! so addictive
Praise the Lord for this piece of music

Damn bro this is very creative! Everything was smooth, clean, and precise! I’m glad I stumbled on this!
Such a great atmosphere
YES! One of the best jams I've heard in my life!
I've been obsessed with this ever since it got released. I love at 2.20 where they are vibing so hard together
I remember adding this video to my "Watch Later" years ago. Glad it showed up again.
This moments always bring me a big smile: super cool.
Yes!
He really made those keyboards sing
Henry is in a League of his own!
2:02 i would feel awkward af, if i would watching myself 🤣🤣
Yep when Cory Henry gets into the zone , he's just brilliant !!!
bass player was ready for anything but you blew his mind time and time again.
Love the weather report vibes.
You're doing god's work for students ❤
Bro. This is the funkiest thing I've ever heard!
JESUS thank you for such a sweet funky beat.
Mind blowing chords 😮
I love it when titles hold true to the content produced. This session was indeed funky! Lol 😆 👏🏿🖤
They both look so young here, this might be the birth of Snarky Puppy at least in my heart of hearts...
cory is pure magic living legend
That white boy on the bass is stamping so hard he went from Michael League to Michael Leg.
Best session ! Bass guy - i love you !
Typo at mm. 217, 219, 221? Each phrase ends with E, F# not D#, F# although he did start this call-and-response section with the D# to F#.
Love how Cory is channeling Joe Zawinul ❤
I wish there was a downloadable version of this. It’s amazing!
amazing.
those dudes are gold man
holy .... god i love this.
Oh man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
YOOOO the reprise makes it go 10x harder
Audience at 3.40: "Hell no! You DID NOT play that!" Bl**dy genius!
That was cold as hell !
LAWWWWWWWDJA’MIGHTY 😩 🏃♂️ 👏🏼
I loved that concert, it seemed simple and almost subdued until people started literally leaping out of their chairs
i was in bed, now im dancing round the room ahaha
3:10 -3:24
Really hits for me
Cory Henry. God !
Cory Henry reminds me so on Joe Zawinul. Both are real Genius. Greetings from Vienna
That base player can accompany really really really well!
Yeah, Michael League is incredible. He leads the band in Snarky Puppy! Such a great bandleader and accompaniment. M League is jazz dad, hahaha
'Cory Henry goes out'
The crowd: 😮👏🏾🗣
Cory: 😲
Damn, these vibes are amazing!
Holy shit!! Corey you are the grandaddy of amazing jam sessions
damn I was waiting for someone to do a full transcription of this, and who else but Timothy Gondola

To me it sounded like "Just The Two of Us". Please respond :D now you've got me interested too!
It sounds like something stevie wonder-esque
But i cant think of the name either
Cory also changes it a bit so that makes it harder
Might be love's in need of love today by Stevie Wonder
That part's so great. I always assumed it was the release of suddenly veering off into much different harmonies after the previous few minutes that gets everybody worked up. And not that he was quoting anything specific.
It starts sounding like he's quoting his solo from ??? whatever chart where he goes wild. Lingus??
Eu tive o prazer de estar nesta apresentação. Foi espetacular
Você teve sorte!
Doing gods work man, wouldent have found this recording without you
