Thanks for watching and you can see more reaction videos by clicking the link ua-cam.com/play/PLyHz4jdq4yOf808oJj8P_GwRnZOLcKgng.html Don't forget to give me your suggestion for another song for a reaction video.
U should react to dream theater, u would like it 👍🌠 great reaction btw
The reason Larnell was able to learn this on the journey to the session is quite simple: He's from another planet. It's a very long journey.
You said it.
@@bobcieslinski Larnell is on a whole different level... I'm a former Band Director and have played drums for 41 years.... I am very envious. Every time I watch him I learn something new.
Whole band had like 2 weeks to learn all of the compositions.
Genious comment
Finally an explanation that makes sense
He didn't just learn this song on the plane ride, he learned the entire album, with the exception of two songs
Wow
@@bobcieslinski He's a beast, man. Great drummer and a really great guy. You should look up some of his videos where he reacts to kids covering his performance of different songs!
😳
I found this vid from looking for Larnell's youtube vids... one was a reaction to Metallica's Enter the Sandman
And that keyboardist losing his mind is a 4 time Grammy winner. Shaun Martin
He’s up to six now!
no, the keyboardist losing his mind is Cory Henry!
@@lostwalter no, we're talking about the other guy :)
@@lostwalter Cory Henry is the one doing the solo. Shaun is the one getting impressed. We can say both are losing their minds, understandably.
No malice, just constructive criticism - you talk way too much and pause way way too much. Talk over the song sometimes and for the love of god, stop pausing every 30 seconds to talk for 2 minutes
Yeah, so for this recording, the band was in the Netherlands, and the drummer who was scheduled to play on this album got sick, so they called up Larnell, and he flew over from the US like the day before, so he had to learn the whole album by listening to the tunes on the plane.(Snarky Puppy is kind of like a large family with many players that are on-call for the group.) You probably noticed that there is no sheet music, as they basically worked out the arrangements as a group during the week or so leading up to the recording session. Oh, and it's a live recording session (as many of their records are), so the audience is actually there for the recording session; it's a little different than a concert. It would totally be awesome to attend something like that, and I don't know if you noticed, but there's also a string quartet there--they didn't play on this tune, obviously, but they play on some of the other tunes from the album.
There's a UA-cam video of the making of We Like It Here (album title) which is an interesting inside look at how a band like this operates.
i would simply summarize this as a jazz-pop big band tune in 5, with solo sections and a shout chorus at the end.
Cory Henry has gone on to form his own band called Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles. Worth checking out for sure.
Also worth checking out is newer Snarky Puppy, particularly the Tiny Desk concert. Soo gritty and nasty.
Cheers! 😀
Some great things you added here to the discussion Eliot. Thanks for sharing all of this.
Larnell flew from Canada, he's from Toronto, where he teaches drums at Humber College
I just remembered that David Bruce did a full transcription and complete composer's analysis of Cory Henry's solo; it's fantastic and in the weeds in an awesome way.
Adam Neely made a prediction that that solo is going to be one of the most influential solos of our generation, and I'm going to have to agree.
Adam knows his stuff and I would have to agree with him. That solo was off the charts. Thanks for watching!
The splash cymbal on the snare drum is a common funk/soul trick to approximate hand claps. You need a fairly thin small cymbal, cheap trashy things work best, and hit it across the bow with the shaft of the stick. This was not the first time Larnell played this song. They did a week of sessions and there are several alternate takes out there on-line. So by this performance they had felt out the song. How Cory was able to anticipate the later horn lines in his improvisation. He's creating something that will lead into something he knows will happen.
Homework for teacher: As mentioned below, the horn solos were odes to the Brecker Brothers, both in playing style and the effects. Michael Breckers use of chorus/doubler over his Coltrane inspired riffs, and Randy Brecker taking a cue from Miles with the wah pedal on the trumpet. Look into the Breckers, everything from the early Dreams album and NYC, to Some Skunk Funk and other Heavy Metal Bebop, on though their Return of the Brecker Brother album. Much of the foundation for what Michael League is creating here.
Also, as mentioned below, the early solo synth solo tone is classic Chick Corea and many of the musical devices are straight out of Spain. In the last part of Cory's solo, the tritone arpeggios with portamento and the stringy synth patch are classic Keith Emerson. Check out the first take improvised synth solo on ELP's Lucky Man. The first time a Moog was used on a pop or modern record. Then any of Keith's other work, you can clearly hear that influence coming though Cory here.
Wow you know your stuff and I’m with you in your assessments. Nice job!
Thank you for clearing things up a bit, I understand that for some people a lot of the things he talks about are new and cool, but if you have actually studied, played or just listened to jazz it´s not as exiting. I think much of what he said was great but there are definitely things that did not get enough attention and vice versa. I would for example bring up the metric modulation and the influences Steve Kirby explained above.
The Doors, The Monkees and the Beatles had all used Moog synths on pop recordings well before ELP released _Lucky Man._ Not to mention Wendy Carlos, who made an entire album of Bach music performed on a Moog that hit the top Ten on the US album charts.
Oh boy. And off we go! I’ve seen a bunch of reactions to Lingus but I never get tired of them! Lol! Definitely check out the rest of this project from Snarky Puppy. Every song is amazing.
Thanks for the kind words. What a great group and song. So much fun to watch.
@@bobcieslinski Great reaction. Next I would suggest "What about me?"
One of the finest live studio recordings of this century. How coold you not be blown away. It defies commentary. So awesome.
For sure Sarah. These guys are all beasts. Their new stuff is pretty awesome too. I’ve done a couple from their new album.
On the bit at the end where it sounds like the horn section is following the lick that Cory is playing, I actually think its sort of the other way round. The horn licks are all written out and played absolutely perfectly by that ridiculous horn section, then Cory knows their part so well that he knows what licks to improvise in his breaks between the horn bits that fit perfectly in. Either way, this is just wizardry from everyone involved!
Amazing either way and so much fun to listen to. Thanks !
You are correct! In the full doc of this session Mike League says the horn section is basically the only set who gets anything written out ahead of time.
@@xodiaq amazing
"Everybody is doing their own little solo here": That's what polyrhythms do to you. Michael League is a genius composer.
U rlly brought an educational and unique perspective to a reaction of this song. Ive seen so many of these but I think you pointed out the most things in the video that you found interesting. Great reaction
Thanks I appreciate the kind words and you watching.
I am completely amazed at the level or proficiency that you have to get to on your instrument and then take it all “in the moment” and have a genuine musical/spiritual conversation between all, audience included. The other-worldly “talk” between Corey and Larnell is a pure example of improvisation. They were pure emotion, in the moment kinda talking there. Once in a lifetime performance
I agree with you in the once in a lifetime. Wow!
Larnell, extremely talented drummer.. if he isn’t the best I’ve seen he’s definitely top 3 best drummers.
And a really nice guy as well. Truly a gentle giant!
Of all time. Top three.
Peart
Carey
Lewis
And they are all ties
@@joshuaburgin5995 Gavin Harrison? :D
Antonio pat Metheny group, in lines of dejonhette, established legends living , Nate Smith has his style, larnell for this free a band almost like yellow jackets style is perfect and is talent worthy, of modern tony Williams, philly jo, art Blakey, max roach all potential and humility in world all have their niche. Well is deep : ) seeing Cory around my bday huge fan, so too chick, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, joe zawinul, monk, bud Powell, God-art Tatum. These guys are musicians not drummers, keyboards, bass etc depth and innovation is there. Antonio Sanchez of pat Metheny group is really absurd. Larnell pulls from so many influences rhythmic and percussive and harmonic musicianship👏 , these songs are not like trying to play songs written by PM with pat and Dave Holland and Michael brecker though. Those are songs like monk that write with such melodic structure and changes they become standards can play them million different ways. This is ridiculous can't wait to see Cory!! his tribute to Melvin crispell , and then chick Correa at blue note playing Spain w/townsley🔥🎶🙏
Something about people reacting to this song in particular never gets old to me. There's so much to learn from everyone's reactions given their background. 9:59 "lets see what happens" ...
Im here for the "woah, that's a FUNKY GROOVE" reaction 😆
Gets em every time 😎
Lewis didn't just learn this song on the 7-hour flight; he learned the entire set. And you should listen to the whole album. It's amazing.
I came across this reaction and it might be an unpopular take but I like the fact that you are pausing so often to EXPLAIN what is going on and why this song is so special. There are plenty of reactions that play the song through to take it in along with the listeners but I like the technical analysis. 🤓
Hi Netizens Arrest. Thanks for the kind words and for understanding why I stop and point things out. I have over 40 years of music experience that allows me to share what I know musically with people.
@@bobcieslinski Keep up the great content. Just did a circle back to Lingus reactions and was looking for the one I commented on with the deeper analysis.
@@netizensarrest4241 thanks so much for thr kind words!
Your analysis just added so much to my enjoyment of the piece. Thanks so much!
Thanks Tim I appreciate it!
I have watched atleast a dozen 'Lingus' reactions and yours was by far the best. I was first introduced to this video about 5 years ago and it reminded me a lot of Chic Corea in regards to the composition and energy. My first reaction to the friend that shared this masterpiece with me was along the lines that 'not a note out of place nor a note too many'. Perfection!
I subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your channel.
Thanks Tom for thr kind words! The Chic Corea reference is a great one!
Yes Bobby!
Great reaction as usual 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Jake!
Thanks for the reaction. I watch all the reactions I possibly can to this song, so that, with every new reaction, I am blown away, all over again!
Thanks for watching and commenting Mohit! That’s a great way of looking at it.
The first time I heard these guys I thought this sounded like some of the stuff I heard from North Texas State One O'Clock Lab Band. Michael League was at NSTU and started this group because he was concerned he wasn't good enough to make it into the One O'Clock Lab. This is great stuff. Hank Levy used to write stuff like this where the horns had a Soli that traded with a soloist. You should introduce your students to stuff like Return to Forever with Chick Corea. I heard his influence all over Corey Henry's solo. BTW, the guy who took his headphones off watching the solo is a five time Grammy Keyboardist Shaun Martin. The horns sounded like they were emulating the Brecker Brothers who used these type effects on their early 70s albums. Please share with your students. My band director loved Bill Evans, but I never understood why and he really never explained. Now I am almost 60 I love Bill Evans, Coltrane and the whole Miles era. There is so much great music out there.
Yeah, those are some Sick Chick Licks(TM) by Cory Henry. lol
It's UNT now and no longer NTSU.
Those are some great observations. Thanks for sharing all of that. I actually saw the lab band live at Slippery Rock University a few years back. They were outstanding.
Chick Corea's chord motions, Jan Hammer's attack sound and rhythmic precision, George Duke's bends and two-handed work, Herbie Hancock's/McCoy Tyner's chromaticism, I hear all of these influences in Cory Henry.
That's what the best do, they take in the knowledge of masters who came before, combine them, and synthesize a new level of performance.
I'd love to be the bassist with such a group, but alas, my pockets are far too shallow!!!
Fantastic analysis, man. What an incredible song, and an incredible group. I love the way they start off the groove in 5/4... for these level musicians, everything just flows from meter to meter.
Thanks I appreciate the kind words. They are so smooth and amazing. So easy to watch and enjoy
Does anyone else hear a little of Chick Corea’s “Spain” in the keyboard solo? Nice tribute to the best.
I’m gonna go back and check that out. That would be cool for sure. Chick Corea is a god in the jazz world. Thanks for the info spiderbass65.
I love how absolutely every one of your off the cuff remarks are what a supportive teacher would say to a student. Wholesome!
Thanks you so much! You made my day! I really appreciate it.
Band teacher "I feel like this is the calm before the storm,"
Me "Sips coffee"
Finally! Absolutely love your interpretation of the song and no words can ever describe how amazing snarky puppy is. Loved it!
Thanks for the kind words!
As a Drummer, I am surprised you didn't mention the different meters used in the song.
Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. I think most people aren’t interested but sometimes the music warrants mentioning it. Thanks for the comment.
He learnt the whole album on the plane! Incredible
I know right. Some people can just do that. Wow
You have a lot of really great observations. I do wish that you would stop the video much less often, though. Part of what makes this song fantastic is the way the momentum and energy builds, and every time you stop the video, you take away that momentum.
I agree with you about taking the momentum away but there are some things worth pointing out. I do hold back as much as I can though. Thanks for the input.
Agreed. Pauses the solos to say “I like that effect” Notes that Corey’s solo is special, proceeds to pause it to say “the camera work is good”. Really worth pointing that out…
I felt that too many times through the video, although after listening to this song a lot through the past couple years some of those pauses somehow intensified my own analysis and admiration for their work. Some reacting creators speak during the performance and that sometimes, when well mixed, would be a good solution for the quick pauses that can really become annoying when you're grooving with the song and want to keep it going.
I agree with this completely, I watch a fair amount of reaction videos and I couldn't make it through this one.
The volume levels should be locked in so that short commentary can just be done over the video as it's playing.
@@bobcieslinski I agree and would suggest backing the song up a few seconds so you can at least hear what you're pointing and what it's leading to together
Larnell Lewis is the drummer's name. And he didn't learn just that tune on his flight to this recording. He learned ALL the material they played at this session on that flight. ALL OF IT. And that's just... I don't know what that is. There are no words to describe this brother's level of skill and knowledge of his instruments.
Man the dude is a beast. The skills he has are off the charts. No one learns like that. He’s exceptional. Thanks for watching!
Awesome reaction vid.
Thanks Edward!
That was mind-blowing!
Recorded in the main room of a studio, you’ve probably noticed by now that NO ONE IS READING. 🤯 The only sheet music is in front of the string players, who are not part of the regular band, just hired for the gig. Everyone else plays from memory. Unbelievable.
Yep I noticed that but that is common for most groups like this. It still is amazing that they can keep track of all of that and not miss anything.
I’ve watched about 20 reactions to this, and you’re basically the first who points out the juxtaposition of simple over complex. You hear these simple, fun fills while underneath things get intricate and then you have solos where they sort of lock in and hold the rhythm and pass it off again. I love how different people take different things away from this one song!
You might love the doc they filmed around recording this! ua-cam.com/video/5p5sEewsYNM/v-deo.html
Thanks Rob I appreciate the comment! It is a blast to listen to these guys just the way it is all arranged and then the individual skill on top of all that. Just amazing!
I think people walking by the room would definitely still hear the live instruments being played 😂 Always love your reactions
Thanks Matthew I appreciate the kind words.
The meter changes are killin’! Bass player Michael League is a damned genius! Larnell Lewis came into the band just a day before the the session! A lot of the audience are musicians that will be used on other tracks on the CD. The horn section is trading eights! Cory is a beast!
Great summation to thr point and accurate all around.
The bass player, leader of the band Michael League is a very cool guy, he signed one of my students bass guitar before became super popular about eight years ago! he's a big advocate for music education as well!!
That’s pretty cool! Sounds like a great guy and awesome that he loves music education. My favorite thing.
Love how the look on your face just remains at "blown away" for the remainder 😅
Thanks this was an amazing song and these guys are world class musicians. All of them.
What's wild to me is that they made a 5/4 so insanely groovable and digestible, you can barely even notice. Even someone like my dad, who usually really doesn't like odd time signatures, was just grooving like it was nothing, because of how effortless they all are
Insane right?
2:48 it's so simple but the groove is in 10/4 (or 5/4 or 10/8, whatever). Pretty unusual metric for funk. So glued together that you don't even notice.
My first time here. Your comments were spot on and guided us deeper into the music.
Thanks Jeffrey for the kind words!
During 2008-16, Snarky Puppy recorded 6 albums with an audience and cameras in the room. The two Family Dinner albums had the band playing with friends, with Lalah Hathaway's mind-blowing "Something" from Family Dinner -Volume 1 winning the 2013 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance, and Jacob Collier's "Don't You Know" is also a stunner. "Sylva" with the Metropole Orkest won the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album (their first of 3 in that category).
Thanks Michael for the great info ! Also for thr great suggestions!
Appreciate the reaction. Very nice.
Thanks Ray!
I realize I'm late to this discussion and nobody will likely see this comment... But I've seen 400+ life musical acts in my day and Snarky Puppy remains in my top 3 live experiences of my entire life. Utterly thrilling. I don't have enough words to praise them. ✨ 🤘
They are amazing! I love them so amazing. Top notch musicians.
Hi Bob, new subscriber here. I really enjoyed your (actual) reactions to this song, it really shows your excitement about the music which is awesome.
If possible, try to record a reaction to Shofukan by this guys. It's from this same show/album and I'm positive you'll enjoy that one, maybe as much as Lingus.
Thanks for the kind words Sergio.
the drummer learn the entire set in a 7:30h flight... Awesome!!
Now... listen to this same song performed live with Chris Potter doing a huge sax solo in place of Cory's keyboard solo. It's incredible as well. You can find the video on UA-cam.
Hey Matt you got my attention. I haven’t listened to much of Chris Potter other than what shows up in Bob Reynolds videos. I will check it out you’ve got me curious. Thanks!
I am pretty shure that that "performance hall" is the Kytopia studios in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. These studio's don't exist anymore, I think. There is also a documentary video about the making of these recordings.
If you like Bob Reynolds, he’s got a fantastic solo on Outlier- also by Snarky Puppy and on the same album.
First time watching your channel, and I had to pick Snarky Puppy! As a Grade 5 trumpet player that plays in a traditional British brass band, the trumpet players in this video just blow me away with their speed and precision. Something to aspire to!
Wow that’s great you play trumpet. It’s a hard one. Gotta really develop those chops and it sounds like you have. Yeah these guys blow me away. They are all beasts.
I didn't know it until last night, I've had signed up for one of the horn player's online courses, and I was like damn let me get cracking with his lessons
I am so happy....all of you musicians were BORN, I really do. I love you guy's parents, for birthing such amazing musician specialists into this mundane world of hell. Life became tolerable from just experiencing this intricate musicianship and master class contribution. I don't understand why music does to the brain and spirit as it does. But I NEED it and can't balance out my life without it. It's another language another form of LOVING someone if thee creators want it to be. For my mental health.....please stay safe and healthy.
Well said Truth Hunter !
17:39 The horn lines were written and worked out previously. Corey is doing the answering here.
i appreciated your insight. That's why we all watch reaction video's to snarky puppy, to see peoples mind blown, and hear their educated reactions. ignore the people saying there are too many interruptions, they shouldn't be watching reaction videos. They should watch the original video if they want to listen to the song uninterrupted!
Thanks for the kind words James and for watching! I really appreciate it!
Recorded October 2013
Studio Kytopia Studios, Utrecht, Netherlands
couldn't wait for your reaction to cory henry's solo! 👍 you noticed how he was playing the melody on two different keybords (i think with the left hand reversed- i'm no musician/ heard it from another lingus-reactor)
He’s a beast and there are a ton of players In This group who qualify for that title.
The musicianship in Snarky Puppy is just insane.
It sure is.
Thank you for this. I'm not a musician, but I adore Snarky Puppy. I don't understand technically, but my ears 'get it.' This is one of my favorite pieces - and a favorite band. It may not be "catchy" in a cliche sense, but these musical sequences replay in my ears often. Just glorious.
Thanks for the kind words and comments Aurora! They are truly gifted musicians.
What is extra cool about the live audience is that you can tell who is/isn't in the band depending on the color of the headphones. Red headphones were for all the band members, and black were for audience members.
Thanks LesPaulManiacIV for the info!
Nicely done. And I appreciated your comments on the music. I'd like to see your reaction to What About Me? from this same recording session.

Thanks for the kind words Jason!
I have seen this vid tens of times. Also seen them several times.
I hope they come around to my area. I would love to see them now. You are lucky Barry.
They have a very large volume of work on UA-cam. Saw them for free in a park in Los Gatos California one time. Most recently saw them at the Paramount in Oakland about a month or two ago.
They are starting to tour again I'm not sure where you're located.
Actually, Larnell had played this song before with the band, this and one other track he already knew. The rest he learned on the plane ride over to the gig, and had a brief rehearsal with the guys before they recorded everything. This was recorded at Kytopia Studios, Utrecht, Netherlands, with a live crowd in there. Everybody is on headphones.
Thanks for the info!
@@bobcieslinski ...You're welcome.
I watched someone completely analyze the keyboard solo. I still have absolutely no idea what he's doing. But it sounds amazing.
There is a documentary on this recording session with a lot of the players relating how the sessions were put together.
Here is a link to part of the full album documentary with the interviews (ua-cam.com/video/5p5sEewsYNM/v-deo.html)
Lewis is a beast. Obviously so is Henry lol
Every band teacher should play this for there class.
with the score!
You are right it would blow their minds.
@@bobcieslinski $19. That's the cost of each SP tune on their website / online store. Cool stuff - I've bought a bunch of them (to study or to make big band arrangements).
@@bobcieslinski yes it would, but more importantly maybe 1 out of 100 might be inspired enough to make better changes in there life. That's the power of music.
13:24. . "Doin what THAT guy did. . "
THAT guy has won FIVE Grammy's. . . And when someone like that takes off his headphones, gets up and walks away like "I can't compete with *THAT!* ) You know it's GOOD playing!
That’s funny. When a guy like that does that you know it was unbelievable. Thanks Richard for thr info !
Nice Reaction, Keep the Snarky Puppy reacts coming!!! I also recommend take a look into the Zildjian live with Larnell Lewis and the Zildjian live with JD Beck (Or generally anything from JD Beck he is insane.)! Also I highly recommend getting into Jacob Collier!
Thanks for the kind words! I love this group and there are more songs that have been requested.
Ah yes. Snarky Puppy Lingus react viewers, here we meet again.
You have a special gift for pausing at exactly the wrong moments.
Thanks J! I do have a gift wish I didn’t but I guess I have to roll with it.
About all the people with headphones: each track on this DVD/album was recorded in a single live take. That's a paying audience there around the edges of the space! If you watch the other videos from the album you can see the band members wearing different clothes: they took the best take of each song from a series of concert days, all of which were recorded.
Wow what a concept right. Thanks for thr info and for watching!
Yes, Larnell Lewis, the drummer, learned this on the plane ride they say haha. He doesn't get in the pocket, the pocket comes to him. I'm a drummer myself
Hey cool you are a drummer Caleb. My son is too. It blows my mind that Larnell can do that. I honestly think drummers in general learn faster than most. Just the way their brains are wired from playing drums makes a huge difference.
Larnell Lewis (drummer) was a late fill-in for this session, he learned the entire set on the plane ride to the studio (Netherlands?). Yeah, that cymbal sitting on top of the drum...sounds like a more washed out China Type.
It’s unreal how someone can learn like that and sound that good. It’s impressive.
@@bobcieslinski Eidetic Memory, I'm guessing...
@@Trapper50cal Eidetic memory is really really rare. It's most likely a highly trained and very talented brain. Pattern recognition and experience I guess.
Check out Deantown by Vulfpeck. You absolutely won’t be disappointed by the groove - the bass player is wild
I’ll check them out thanks!
Never saw that cymbal before!
16:14 It does sound like a new song but the really cool thing is that it is still based on the same ostinato that the previous section was based on.
Yeah it’s so interesting and awesome. Thanks for watching!
The keyboard solo sound is very close to what Chick Corea used in Return To Forever.
Larnell Lewis is truly one of a kind drummer! I-😄-I So musical, laid back and so cool!
You are so right Rich. His sight reading ability is off the charts.
You should see some of the other solos and songs these guys have done.
Two things... I think the saxophone and trumpet were both being run through effects on their initial solos - it wasn't some special throat manipulation by the sax player. I also disagree that the horns were mimicking the keyboard licks during Cory's solo. It's obvious that all of those unison horn licks were written. That said - your reaction was refreshingly in-depth. Most Lingus 'reaction' videos I've seen are just people staring wide-eyed into the camera with their jaws on the floor :-)
Thanks for the info on the effects. I appreciate you sharing that and for the kind words on the reaction. Also that’s too funny with the staring wide mouthed. I can understand it though. These guys are beasts.
The horn soli on the outro are indeed all written out. You can buy the mini-score for this (and everything else on We Like It Here and many other SP records), they sell on their online store ($19 apiece). I've bought a dozen or more, some just to study, and have done big-band arrangements of 8 or so - super fun stuff!
Bob. You need to check out The Contortionist. Particularly the songs Language I and Language II (they kinda go together on the album). Not sure if the vocals will throw you off. But the arrangement is awesome.
I will check it out thanks for suggesting them.
The keyboard player Corey Henry learned to play the organ in church as a kid. Check out a short clip called "Tribute to Melvin Crispell" by him on UA-cam. It's amazing.
Thanks for info Mike! Cory is on a whole other planet. That dude is amazing and then some.
I know someone has already said this, but the bass player is the leader of this band: Michael League. This is just amazing: Snarky Puppy.
Yes Michael is an incredible composer arranger and bass player. I love his work.
Hey Bob...1st timer here for ya...see youre in Pittsburgh...where do u teach at?
Hi John! I teach in Armstrong.
Cory Henry is a beast🙌🏾😹 those guys are The Avengers
For sure. I like the comparison. I’m also a big Marvel and super hero fan. Thanks for that!
Would love to hear your take on Vulfpeck, Cory Wong, Fearless Flyers. So knowledgeable.
Thanks for the kind words and great suggestions!
An important lesson for aspiring jazz musicians, how to play in 5/4, or 10/8 in a 4/4/ or 6/8 world, and still have the audience do the "bobblehead groove" and make the stank face!
Great one Brian!
You're the first person I know who calls this simple 😂
Simple little Melodies that create an overall complex song.
I STRONGLY suggest you react to The Curtain by Snarky Puppy. Completely mindblowing
Thanks I will.
Susanne Rosmolen and Bill Laurance in the same at the same time room is too much beauty.
Larnell Lewis also did a couple of videos over on the Drumeo channel, that you should check out.
Shakey Graves - Roll the Bones (Audiotree Live Session) - you'll love him.
I’ll check it out.
You should react to either Sweet Victory from Spongebob or the beginning of Soul Pixar movie
I know the songs you are suggesting and both are excellent.
When you say the horn section was back there are back already way before
This guy is the real Terence Fletcher
Lol
You should react to binky and the curtain feat. Metrople orchest! Some of my favourite snarky puppy tunes🙏🏼
Thanks for the suggestion!
They do the audience sessions a good bit, you might like their session with Metropole Orkest, too!
Thanks for all of the suggestions and the link in your last comment.
Here is a link to the Documentary of the Album, this will give you a story of the drummer and how they create their music: ua-cam.com/video/5p5sEewsYNM/v-deo.html
Thanks I’ll check it out!
