Secret pleasure: watching people watch Lingus for the first time and rendered speechless! 😂

I have watched many reactions to that Cory Henry solo, but “I can feel my credit score going up as I watched this” is hands down the best reaction I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂😂

Cory Henry is a MONSTER! That solo will be studied for ages. And notice how crisp all the instruments are. Production is top notch.

"I feel like he's playing with us..." *sits back with a bag of popcorn*

LOL “ could hear my credit score going up”, lost it on that dude!!!! If only it were true! Listen to this song hundred times a day. And ya, damn good group/song

Snarky Puppy is jazz/jazz fusion/rock and funk. They have won four Grammy Awards. Glad you enjoyed this. I always tell people who hear this for the first time that moving forward they will always listen to music and think in terms of pre-Lingus and post-Lingus. This just scratches the surface. Larnell Lewis on drums, Cory Henry on keys, Michael Leauge on bass (he also wrote the song and started Snarky Puppy) are all top tier musicians. One of the best comments I’ve heard is when you said that you could feel your credit score going up while listening to this. Your musical journey is a beautiful thing to see. There’s much more for you to experience. That was 🔥

12:09-Yes, you are right!! He is playing with ALL our hearts and minds 😂😂😂

15:30 "I feel... I could feel my credit score going up as I was listening to that". I have no idea what the hell that meant, but it may be the best description of listening to this song that I've ever heard. I have been chuckling uncontrollably ever since I heard that.

🤣 your reaction to this was priceless! There is a female French vocalist who has a video up singing the whole keyboard solo… it will blow your mind.

See them live. It’s a crazy vibe and atmosphere. Everyone “singing” along, dancing, clapping, I’ve never felt so connected to a band on stage. They are truly incredible performers who make you feel like they’re loving every second and you’re part of it. It’s so much fun.

It’s always good to see someone react to this video for the first time. It’s like every time, I’m like “My child, you’ve made it. Welcome.” And I watch the entire video knowing almost exactly where they’re gonna be mind blown watching them slowly convert into a new fan. Never gets old.

"I guess if you're a musician this has to be one of the best things ever. To get to the top of your game and then be able to share and blend in with people who are also at the top of their game." HUNDRED MY GUY

Again, I told you 😉Everyone in that room belonged there. The Keyboardist is like a servant. Just amazing control. The drummer.. to learn that song on a plane and play it perfectly the next day. crazy. He's done other videos with a first listen and then plays it perfectly (even metal). I would have loved to be in that room.

They're all just so amazing. The keyboard player who anchors the timing during Cory's solo is Justin, he wrote Outlier, home of the virtuoso sax of Bob Reynolds. Justin also plays trumpet. The tall chap on trumpet in Lingus is Maz, he wrote sleeper - the home of Shaun, who commands the entire song on the keyboard/voicebox. Shaun has almost as many Grammys on his own as the whole of Snarky Puppy. Listen to The Curtain to hear a world - class solo from Jay (Flugel horn) , Cory (keyboard again), Michael (bass) and an extraordinary performance on piano by Bill Laurance. Every member of this band is good enough to shoulder an entire band on their own. Extraordinary.

8:00 - I've seen probably 50 *REACTIONS* alone to this song and each time I hear something new as each new person resonates with something different. Because we can't hear it for the first time again we end up going around looking for the joy. 9:20 - And no, we're here for your reaction. You're not pissing us off. If anyone has an issue with it, they can go watch the original however they want.

You HAVE to do a reaction to Shofukan. The brass solo is so good it hypnotizes the cellist in real time. She looks dreamy. It's one of the best moments in music ever.

“I felt my credit score going up” 😂😂 Old boy who was looking at him like he’s a cold dude is Shawn Martin who has won several Grammys himself so that’s saying something. I’d love to watch you explore more songs from this session. Not a disappointing one in the whole set!

What it's all about. Bits of classic jazz Chick Corea with Return to Forever and Blood Sweat Tears etc. Great ensemble effort.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Snarky Puppy! A couple others in the same world would be one "Louis Cole - Live - Bank Account" and his other project Knower. "Overtime (Live Band sesh) - KNOWER"

The magic that is jazz. I'm so happy you found it. Back in the day, I played trumpet (17 years). My son caught the jazz/music bug (plays tenor sax) and is continuing where I left off. Please, please, please, react to more jazz, blues and funk. I loved watching you react to Snarky Puppy. This song (Lingus) is amazing!

Welcome to the juicy world of jazz. You have to know your stuff if you're a jazz musician. You're not background participants, you're front and center, major, not minor. No distractions of singers or lyrics, although jazz music sounds like a unique language unto itself, full of emotions and meaning. It's like the instruments are talking to each other, albeit a very complex level of communication. Just sharing the opinion of a novice. Love you channel and pure reactions.

Bro, Tool and Snarky Puppy in the same week, holy shit. Happy holidays to you too my guy. I don't know who requested this, but I like your style.

This reminds me of the ‘70’s group Passport and their album “Cross Collateral”, a vinyl disc that I played all of the time while in high school with notions of becoming a professional musician specifically in the jazz or fusion or electronic keyboards…. This performance made me smile inside and out. Great job and great filming everybody., thanks to my local jazz station in the US, KNKX, in the Seattle-Tacoma area which I listen to in Bellingham and also currently while doing research here in Belgium and throughout Europe.

11:01 - Yet another mind is about to blow. :) 15:20 - There it goes! :D 18:25 - Yes, mind has been blown. ^__^

I’m an old hat. And when miles Davis came out with the “cool” new jazz sound that was the vibe. This is the new vibe. Modern jazz is exciting. It’s almost a revolution against electronic or “common” music. This is the new jazz. This is actually literally the best musicians in the continent doing their thing. Snarky puppy is literally the best band that exists. Talent wise.

My Barracks mate and I in the army used to listen to Jazz and drink cognac and read comic books and this track reminds me of those times!

Your face during the whole keyboard solo lol 😆 🔥 Culminating in 15:19

POLO, can you imagine being there? Or going to a concert with these boys jammin’ like this. I heard this for the first time last year. This is other worldly! 🔥🔥🔥. I liked your review. First time to your channel. Just subscribed.

I love these reaction to hearing Snarky Puppy. It’s like, “Where have I been, under a rock?”

Yaaaasss! So glad to got to experience SP! They are incredible. Check out their song called “Something”, with Lalah Hathaway on vocals. Mind-blowing!

Lol I heard you mention the drummer countless times and it made me laugh 🤣. Yeah bro, larnell lewis is the man! Definitely my favorite snarky puppy drummer. Check out the new album and all the videos to that 🙂 you won't be disappointed

As a musician Jazz is the best experience you can imagine. It's a natural high to be part of a group so tightly synced and on the same wavelength. Just flowing with it. It's amazing

You had a smile of pure enjoyment on your face. They are great…

Dude it's too good. I used to live in a church with all these hobo musicians and we would just listen to this all the time lol

If I remember right, this was the band's third take and Larnell's first take. The first times with the original drummer it just wasn't clicking, but the drummer had trouble with his passport on route to the artist collective where this was shot and Larnell had to be flown in last minute. The chemistry between them all is amazing, and you can see how well Cory Henry and Larnell Lewis are locked in.

I still can't believe how amazing these guys are!! This music blends multiple styles and genres....flawlessly.

The expression at 15:20 just slayed me. 10/10 what every human being with an ear for music feels at that point the first time listening to this masterpiece.

By far best comment on youtube for "Lingus" and, yes, Larnell learnt the songs for that session on the flight, arrived in the morning in Holland and played that in the afternoon...!

i love that you keep rewinding. seems like you really care!

Cory Henry and Larnell Lewis - these cats are incredible musicians surrounded by incredible musicians.

15:20 - Exactly the right reaction. 🔥Yeah, Shaun Martin is the guy who took his headphones off and at the time he was a four time (?) Grammy winner who has gone up to six now.

If you love the drummer, Larnell Lewis, then you'll definitely love Snarky Puppy - What About Me?! Great reaction 🤎

The best keyboard solo I've ever heard put down. Even his band mate lost his mind over it!

Also absolutely love watching people discover Snarky Puppy.

I just saw this video on my list of recommended videos and I knew I had to watch it immediately because first time reactions to this insanely talented band never get old! I'm sure you thought that you would be listening to straight-ahead "old school" jazz with a swing beat when you read the comment describing Snarky Puppy as a jazz band, but whoever wrote that obviously forgot to mention, or is oblivious, to all their other influences, including funk, rock, soul and R&B. The first time I heard this, I was also blown away by their technical ability and the killer groove and solos, along with the fantastic writing and arrangement. I've been a keyboardist since I was a kid and during the entire synth solo by Cory Henry my mouth was open, my eyes were glazed over and I think I was mumbling something like "not possible...not possible...". 😁 I swear that the drummer, Larnell Lewis, must have a metronome implanted in his head because his his killer groove is so damn solid and as you alluded to, he learned the song on the flight to the Netherlands and then proceeded to play like it like he's known it for years, which is F-ing amazing!

"i COULD FEEL MY CREDIT SCORE GOING UP" lmfao the best response ever :)

I do love me a Lingus reaction video, and this is right at the top - receptive, intelligent, articulate and damn but you just enjoyed the hell out of it! Great job.

I know what you mean by the drums captivating you even if you don't consider it your favorite instrument. A good drummer is a force to be reckoned with and you have to pay attention to every beat of the performance. Awesome Jazz all around and a little funk for spice. Love your channel! Sub

We're lucky, we get to say we were alive on earth at the same time as Cory Henry and Larnell Lewis - and all of them to be fair but those two in particular on this one. The rest of them are just great. "Only" great. But what Lewis pulls off there, learning the whole set (not just this number) in the time it takes to fly from the US to Holland. And he's a beast. And then Cory Henry creates / plays / composes one of THE great solos. The construction, the pacing, the phrasing, the way he nods to Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder and - you name it there's a little bit of it in there and a LOT of Cory Henry it is glorious. It's worth listening to the rest of the concert and realising this is the finale of a concert where all the other music is on almost the same level and they can just push it that tiny bit more to get to Lingus. It's transcendent. It crosses - boundaries, genres - are left in a tiny puddle of whatever - we get to share the planet with these guys. We are so lucky long may they continue.

Snarky Puppy is pure musical joy.

Larnell Lewis is the drummer, and he’s by far my favorite drummer in the game right now. Fiercely inspiring behind the kit. Love the video!!

If you like drummers, check out Billy Cobham, Lenny White, and Nrada Micheal Walden. Cobham and Walden played with one of the original jazz fusion bands, Mahavishna Orchestra. Seriously heavyweight musicians. Lenny White played with another great jazz fusion band, Return to Forever, featuring, for me, some of the greatest musicians of their time. Check out Romantic Warrior. Both of these groups were way, way, before their time and they defined the jazz fusion genre

So glad you reacted to this one! Always love to see new people react to Snarky Puppy and the best keyboard solo of a generation.

I WISH I could have my 1st time listen , just one more time .

The cool thing about this is not just what individual instruments are doing (which is amazing) but how they are interacting with each other also. How the bass player and drummer are locking on together, how the horns are responding to each other, or how the keys and guitars are echoing each others melodies, etc.

I COULD FEEL MY CREDIT SCORE GOING UP. I am dying 😂😂😂😂 that whole solo is a beautiful ride for sure

You are not 'pissing off' me. This is great reacting -- and great music, excellent combination.

I was blown away the first time i heard Snarky puppys lingus. Never heard of anything like that before . Love love lingus❤

Alright. Now you're getting REAL. Your ear is great, btw. good work. FYI this is a modern Jazz classic. (And yeah, for keyboardists, it's considered among the best solos in history.)

That out of his mind drummer is none other than Larnell, he's about out of his mind as they come for this type of stuff. Love his playing.

Right, so you like 'Snarky Puppy'. Next, check out 'Dirty Loops'. Some of their songs: Work Shit Out, Breakdown, Next To You, Follow The Light, Rock You.

First off, I gotta say, bro, I LOVE your voice! You've got a radio voice for sure. Being a huge fan of Snarky Puppy, I'm really glad that you got your ears "opened" to this group of musicians. Also, I don't believe that ANYONE would expect it to be neccesary for you to apologize for stopping and commenting. In my opinion, you stop at appropriate points AND would have to thought to pull things back a little so that we can "stay" with the groove. Your channel just popped up on this and I have subscribed. I'm truly looking forward to your future reviews/commentary on Snarky Puppy. I personally think that Corey Henry's solo work on Lingus is HISTORICAL!!!! And Shawn Martin (the other keyboardist who got "full" and walked off) is (I think) is a 5 time grammy award winner. So for him to become overwhelmed by Corey's solo is saying something!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEVER REALLY COMMENT BUT PLEASE SNARKY PUPPY - BET..........It's new and has one of if not the greatest talkbox solo i've ever heard

Not only one of the great jazz pieces of the last 30 years, but also one of the all-time greatest performances by Cory Henry on keyboard (and that's before we start on the drums!). All round fantastic players. One of THE great bands.

There's a room packed with musicians at the top of their game - and then there's Larnell + Cory

This entire album is amazing. The album is recorded live. This was the closer. Start with track one. All have videos.

Welcome to Enlightenment!! Larnell Lewis ( Drummer) & Corey Henry (Keys) to a Great Band to another Level!!!

Watching people watching this for the first time never gets old. :) The energy in that room is just as infectious as the music. I envy every person that was there that day.

I am seeing them in two weeks and I hope they get to perform this track. It's madddddd.

Would love to see more of this type of music, more Snarky Puppy in particular!

This collaboration of talent is what happened when Return to Forever had a baby with Chicago, and now they're all grown up and jamming'!!

One of my favorite drummers, Larnell Lewis back there working the kick foot and giving us those tasty taps on the skins & brass.

You should check out Larnell Lewis(the drummer) on Zildjian Live. It is an amazing performance.

Too cool. My young second cousin, Justin Stanton, plays Trumpet and Keys in this band. (and wrote a few of their tunes) EVERYONE in the band is great. Try Shofukan from We Like It Here

Man there’s some really good Larnell Lewis (drummer) content here on KZfaq… his City Lights solo, hearing a song once and writing drums to it, hearing a Metallica song once and playing it… he’s a real pro 👏

Thanks for “expanding our horizons” in this video. I’ve heard this particular song more than I can count and I still thoroughly enjoy listening. Your reaction is priceless. Try some gospel music soon. Some of the Snarky musicians grew up in church. See what artists they’ve played for.

what a pleasant surprise btw the Drummer is on another planet

Snarky Puppy is LEGIT!!!! What About Me? From the same project should be next. FIRE!!! Larnell kills the drums on it.

Just say that your mind melted.

Never even heard of them before, but I may need to start diving into some jazz! These guys are amazing.

larnell lewis is awesome, you should check out his video where he hears a song once and does a play through perfectly

I almost fell out of my chair when you said during that keyboard solo you could fell your credit score going up.🤣🤣

love the 'watch me do the same solo on both hands at the same time' keyboard solo...

These guys and gals give me hope. Phenomenal musicians.

This was a great reaction. I've seen this video probably a hundred times and it was cool to see you pretty much catch everything. Every time you paused it and rewound I was like "just wait!". Very well done. You should check out their first song on this set "Shofukan". Larnell is a beast in that one. The whole story behind this recording is pretty crazy...

Enjoy the journey with them, they 🤯my mind, get a chance see them live!

"ive got a feeling he's just playing with us" is the understatement of history lol

Glad you brought this to your listeners Polo! Thank you for sharing the love

Their whole album "We Like it Here" is excellent and I highly recommend it.

Man, I've been marathoning your videos for multiple hours the past few days. It's been awesome seeing your subs go up another few k each day. That 100k is just around the corner. I'm going to be a bit snarky and point out that the "something about the sound of the trumpet that's so powerful" is literally the sound of the trumpet lol. It's powerful! I love the music you've been reacting to and look forward to the nooks and crannies you end up exploring. I think if you're drawn to drummers, you should get around to some of Aric Improta's videos on KZfaq. Also hope to see more of the Beatbox competitions from 2017-2019. There are some real gems in there, especially the Looper battles. Peace.

Every time I listen, the drums are nuts and that keyboard solo is insane. My favorite part(s) come from the trumpet. When exchanging solos with the sax, the soaring crescendo to take the solo over is killer.

Seen them twice. Truly mind-blowing.

Excellent review, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this amazing tune.

17:07 when he realizes that Cory was playing the little rhodes chords he was hearing in the middle of his own solo is something I feel in my soul

That guy ignites that keyboard on fire

Michael League is an absolute musical genius.. He created a band that has no limits..

It's unreal how tight the whole ensemble is

I saw them last month. So good.

I've been a fan for yrs this was a musical class. Have you done something with lalah hathaway they won a Grammy for that one. Love them wait till you see them live.
