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 KZfaq 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

Really🤣🤣🤣🤣

Legend

Brave

lol

😂😂😂😂

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. F

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 KZfaq (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 :)

Haha exactly, great comment 👍

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...

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

@@staceyvu6 you got it 👍

🧍🏽‍♀️😂

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!

You captured what I couldn’t express about Cory Henry’s play with your comment here.

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

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

😜

Lhh

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.

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!

I just listened to his stuff because of your comment. Damn his stuff his mindblowing.

Same dude! Ricard Bona, Bubby Lewis, Hadrian Feraud, these dude just blow my mind

Yeah. I wish he did it more on his studio recordings because the shit he pulls live is absolutely insane.

@thickknickk can you recommend something from him that's great? I've checked him out before and haven't found anything that impressed me a lot yet.

Yeh same lol

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 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.

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

live one, you mean?

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!

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

Lol. Same here.. I melted at this solo (fox) incredible!

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.

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

Inspiring!! Follow your dreams!

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.

Agreed

When your suggestions are as smooth as Oversimplified's sponsor segway's

@@thepatriot4458 segue, not segway

More like "Did Quit" 🙃

that bass player is henning olsted (got the name wrong probably). one od the most virtuosistic bassist ever

@@Roberto-fp3qb Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen

*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"

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)

:(

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...

I'm so sorry.

Why.... is this the greatest

*jazz intensifies* *michael jackson throws out one last ~hee hee~ from beyond the grave*

I enjoyed this way more than I should have.

smooth comment xD

You know you don’t have to whip out a dictionary for every comment to sound smart yknow. It’s just a youtube comment.

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.

Agreed

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.

Thanks Kim

truly inspirational. thanks papa jong-un

Hiromi is a mutant!! 🔥🔥🔥

Came here to say this

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.

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.

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?

Ikr

JJ Johnson

The bassist is NHØP BTW

He seems like he's having a great time to me, just marveling at the mad man.

Exactly!!!

this is a fine swell theory

Bro yes. That's why I'm here.
