guilty haha

GUILTY

And Shaun Martins reaction 😅

Ikr

Adrian Warlick " space...the FINAL frontier." Jean Luc's voice..lol

Wasn’t a single take but I whole heartedly agree, they most certainly are fucking insane. Over four days they did 8 or so live sessions and used the best tracks from each session.

@@gel141 no, over 4 days everything was composed according to the documentary made on this album that you can simply look up on KZfaq. Everything was made from scratch and they went through everything on one take during the final day. So basically they had 3 days of composing and practicing and then one day of just recording everything, which they did in a sweeping single take for each. Not only that, but the drummer larnell Lewis wasnt even a part of this until the day of recording because the drummer never showed up, so that was his first time ever playing that whole set. Watch the documentary because honestly the entire making of this is just Freaking Awesome

@@ernestogarcia3193 Okay that's just preposterous! The level of talent and musical understanding required to do this is out of this world to me. They might all be from Neptune

@@ernestogarcia3193 The original drummer missed out on probably the greatest opportunity of his life, and the band had an insane drummer stand in for said him.

Yesssss

hechohawk he didn’t even get his name right lmao

He should've started with 3-5 year old Cory! He's got his eye on Sput too, no doubt.

Absolutely

Starting with the face at 5:34-5:54

All because Sput let his passport lapse or something

it was a 14 hour flight. enough time

@@pedrao420 According to him, it was 7 hours. NY to Europe.

not ust learned it, he learned it when they hadn't even finished wroting the song. he had piano parts and some time switch notes from the band director.

Yes, but I thought it was cool that he identified it as soon as he did :)

@@gsaigo8375 So true! Right off the bat he knew! But still, I was think the same as Prof X, "Just wait..." hahaa

Yep, me too. It was great that he recognized it right so quick, and me too, Just Wait, Dude!!

Right lol

ahahah yes exactly!

lorddresefer shit I didn’t even know that! But then again these musicians are the best of the best so it shouldn’t surprise me.

I wish Larnell was their always drummer

@@xthexadvantagex I'm going to see them in November. I wonder who Micheal League will bring with him. I reaaaaally hope Cory Henry is with them this time.

@@Zillius_YT cory left snarky like 2 years ago.....

@@DBSplayers As far as I can tell no one every really leaves, the musicians just come and go and if their schedules line up they join again. But anyways even with or without Henry I'm really looking forward to seeing them live!

Funny thing is, for the solo, on the score, there is no set major or minor keys, just the bass notes for the rhythm section. Everything was on the spot for Cory. He had full freedom. Chord structure, progression, everything.

@@GoTree64 the bass notes are in descending thirds in E minor. The progression is E-C-A-F natural (flat 2nd), the back to E.

It looked like he was looking at Wikipedia, and technically Cory isn’t a current member. So he named the guys on keys.

😳😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly my thoughts haha

yup was thinking that too!

This guy needs to listen to more music

U know how huge and old is the jazz catalogue? I am pretty sure he listen more jazz than u guys are speculating

@@Edelce yeh man... that's for sure...he may not be familiar with contemporary jazz...

He’s also everyone’s dad

taught himself how to play through the church. Guy is just a natural. A gift.

Nick Avalos Sounds a lot like Corea Spanish Fantasy

@@tydowding3993 I think they are both in phrygian or something similar. Basically just the b9 sound.

@@Runyan4PREZ he also took much from art tatum!

In fact, not all songs are written by him...

@@goncalonunesfonseca6091 True, but I think he wrote this album.

@@CraigGood again, not all songs, I think Sleeper, for example, was written by Maz, but that doesn't matter, the thing about this band is the musical power and relations between performers!!

@@CraigGood Justin Stanton wrote Outlier too. Michael does the bulk of the composition, but he's definitely not the only one writing tunes.

I figured, he is the only one standing in his area... by himself.

@@armelind I didn't. I thought Cory was composer, since usually, composers get long solo parts.

@@MM-vs2et its just the way he was looking around and and on his side of the video, he is facing everyone else and the only one standing up on his side of video. This was the first time hearing about this band/group. I was just using body language to figure out who was leading this.

@@armelind Yeah, he did looked pretty different in position than the others. The others were focused on their parts and instruments, I only noticed League and Cory to be the ones looking around. I guess bassists don't get long solo parts. Like, you don't hear Charles Mingus doing 4 minute long solos

And never again shall humanity underestimate bass players

I never get tired of that. It's like Clapton watching Hendrix.

Shaun Martin has like 7 Grammy's too so it's pretty impressive.

On another track in the same session - maybe "What About Me" - at the end of the song, he walks over and tips Larnell Lewis a dollar on his snare! 😂

@@TrashWerewolf Oh yeah this one isn't bad haha

@@TrashWerewolf that swagger as he walks over is the funniest shit ever xD

1st to the 20th. Audio wasn't great in this vid and I only welled up...

@larnell lewis is the fuckin' shit!!!!

Be kind, there is Cory Henry solo, I just forgot my name when he plays it, not to mention the drummer skills (that is absolutely insane tho)

This song does not do as good of a job of showcasing larnell as does "what about me" from the same session

He literally doesn’t drop a fucking beat. Apparently he can learn songs in one take lmao.

@@trapOrdoom watch the skills Larnell Lewis has in this video : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rK-HapWHvbO0eKM.html this blew my mind.

Tobias Ommer so true lo

Indeed :D

You nailed it. When I'm not in a metal mood I go for Jazz or Jazz fusion. I feel like most of us do this.

Can someone recommend bands like snarky puppy please? Really like their music and same as everyone, this stuff is great when you need a break from prog

@@sahilasthanamusic2503 I'm not familiar with too many current big band acts like Snarky. Most of the big band stuff that I know of is older. But if you're just looking for some good current jazz or jazz fusion bands check out any of these groups/guys: - The Bad Plus - GoGo Penguin - Medeski Martin & Wood - Kneebody - Mehliana (Mark Guiliana & Brad Mehldau drum & synth collab) - Mark Guillana's jazz trio & BEAT music project - Esbjorn Svensson Trio - Ulu (they don't play anymore, but they were big in the new york scene in the late 90s and early 2000s. They've got a few albums out that are pretty good. What's the Deal is my fav) - Chet Doxas (dude only has like 61 listeners on spotify, but I thought his Rich in Symbols album was pretty cool. Its like retro/synth wave meets jazz. Decent listen if you're into that sort of thing, and really the only thing like it I've found) And of course there's the older classic acts like Weather Report or Chick Corea's Electric Band. But I'd imagine you know about those already. Check out Cory Henry's stuff obviously (the keyboardist on this). And while you're checking out Corey you might as well check out the other recent phenom Jacob Collier if you haven't already. Robert Glasper's another really good current pianist and he's got a bunch of stuff that ranges between hip hop, r&b, jazz etc. Flying Lotus also does some heavy jazz infused hip hop. I dug Larnell Lewis's (the drummer here) album. Dirty Loops does a bunch of really cool reharmonizations. There's more obviously. But that should give you plenty.

How is Cory an "enigma:?

You sir, are well informed.

djtoona An enigma is something that’s difficult to understand. I do not understand how Cory Henry improvised that solo.

@@AcornFox Collier is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. Absolutely incredible drummer, upright bassist, double bassist, piano/keyboard player, guitarist, composer, arranger, has incredible ears even by most perfect pitch standards...

Richard Harrold preachin to the choir, my dude. 😜

uttrAlcaRoo and Shaun Martin and Bobby Sparks.

don't forget Bill Laurance

And Larnell Lewis

Snarky and their subs/collaborators are a rabbit hole of their own. The talent and skill found in those rooms is next level. They are unreal - I've only started looking into the artists individually and it's all unreal

@@cade10101 yup, its something new in the jazz scene. Such a unique setup

I disappointed myself too.

That's literally what I thought!! haha

@Tom Myers did you reply to this comment just for the boomer points?

@@garrettmillerdrums lol

I was wondering that too haha!

My favorite moment is when Cory looks up to Michael and Larnell during the latter half of his solo and just GRINS the widest open-mouthed smile to indicate, "I'm winding it down be prepared," with such glee. The fact that less than 15 seconds later he gives Michael, "the nod," and it's immediately recognized for what it is speaks volumes to the cohesion of Snarky Puppy's members.

Runyan4PREZ drummer flew in on the day of the first show and had only 1 rehearsal.

(in a small voice) (it's cory)

Same here 😂😂

Hahaha that's true he indeed looks like Lil Dicky!

I was thinking the same thing!! I scrolled a long time looking 4 this comment! I almost stopped and wrote it myself, and then there it was 😂😂😂. I know Cory is good but the work put in on those 🥁 was nothing short of perfection. He needs to do a second vid on the same song.

Totally agree... I mean there is definitely alot to breakdown here but how do you not mention LL's drum part over Cory Henry's solo?? 16 bar phrase in kick pattern while constantly manipulating top end is INSANE!

I'm waiting for somebody to point out that the drum player learned this entire album on a f****** airplane trip to this gig.

@@richbrass12 what tha fuck!!!

@@richbrass12 yup. Got the call and was at the studio the next day, with only 7 hours to listen to the material, and only had two hours rehearsal before they started recording.

Protip : Jacob's Collier's understanding of harmony is the tree that hides the forest. The dude is a fucking god of RHYTHM.

Jacob Collier is a weird one. Unbelievable technical gifts, immense talent in so many areas... and yet I haven't heard a single thing he has written or arranged that I'm at all interested in beyond the gimmick value of the "super ultra hyper mega meta lydian scales" and so on. For me at least, all of his music is just an unfortunate reminder that technicality isn't what makes a good musician, or a good songwriter.

@@yoosh9034 Mate, I just checked him out. Literally never heard of him. I get what you say, but I feel you're cutting him short. Immense talent. Quite hard to grasp musically, since he's very unorthodox. Check his NPR (found it within last hour). Blew me away. His phrasing is crisp!

yoosh if you look a bit deeper you’ll find that he’s actually an respectable lyricist and poet. Time to Rest Your Weary Head, Make Me Cry, Once You, for example

I’d say Snarky is definitely on par with Jacob Collier. They’ve done some incredible things too (like the above). And Michael League is also a genius composer. Also, I don’t know if you can really compare the two - they’re quite different.

Larnell for pres

Yes

Also "Outlier" :-)

GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies14 “outlier” is one of my favorite tracks on the album. Hard to choose a favorite but that may be mine.

@@mwarn84 Seeing and listening to Larnell and Bob doing "conversation" is one of the best musical experience I've ever had in my life!😁😆

It's hard to play when your hands are liquid.

They are the closest thing to the arrangements and play by Zappa, Return to Forever, and King Crimson. All would have these insane jam sessions and would land on some not out of nowhere without flaw. I think the more I understand it the more amazing it becomes. Thanks for the beauty.

Dude every word you said I relate 100% to. I thought of the sublime as written by Emmanuel Kant, like, something beautiful, intangible and scary at the same time, I always cry a little at both those songs you mentioned bc of that feeling

Nor Bob reynolds, who is another one of the biggest Jazz names in the world at the moment - yet this guy doesn't recognise him? Nor Cory Henry? Even my brother that doesn't care about music at all knows lingus.

@@RJrules64 You're not saying he's pretending not to know the band or Lingus? Shock, Horror - where's the dislike button!!! The funniest part is when Cory Henry is just setting out on one of the all time great keyboard solos and when this guy hears the first few chords, he's like this guy's a genius. It's almost as if he knew there'd be more to follow that would confirm this statement. Wait, you mean he did know?! This man is a liar, you say?!!!

@@LisztyLiszt It was apparent he was a genius when he started pulling chord voicings out of the air, not even looking at his hands. It's in his eyes and it's's not that hard to see.

for real haha

LisztyLiszt hell no dude. The intro to the solo could be the best part. Those chromatic colors henry uses to set up the solo are easily the most “genius” part of the entire solo. Show only that part to any jazz musician who has never heard snarky puppy and they will immediately recognize how amazingly talented cory is.

Fergus McGregor I was about to say the same

@Fergus McGregor i was gonna say the lung but yours is better lol.

Larnell Lewis on drums

Not to mention that nobody is having sheet music in front of them.

Honestly for a jazz musician to be surprised nobody's reading, says a lot. Since, you know, jazz has historically rejected sheet music, as a basis to its entire sound revolves around improvisation and understanding what your fellow musicians are playing.

@@DanielGonzalezC :) !!!

@@DanielGonzalezC Right? My man's gotta get back to his roots. Jazz and improv go hand-in-hand.

Yeah but a lot of this is precisely written and arranged. This not an improv trio. He says it later, to perform a long piece from memory is what pro musicians do, to perform it that well is superb

slaps harder than a mf

"Love is the message" in abbey road studio is phenomenal

@@logan1er agreed

Lol, Yup!! He's incredible live.

+1

I popped for the sound of the trumpet through the filter. My kind of weird

What about the guy from dirty loops? Marcus Miller? Victor Wooten? Jaco Pastorius?

Chick Korea band. I don't think anyone here but us recognize the influence. Al demiola , Dave wekel. I heard alot of that there. Don't want to take away from it because it was great stuff.
