RIP Shaun Martin(who played on Sleeper and was the other very talented keyboardist). He just passed away a few weeks ago
Rest in peace Shaun Martin
Larnell Lewis, the drummer, is an absolute
MONSTER!!!
Cory's keyboard solo is already legendary- people are copping it on guitar and other instruments. A benchmark moment in 21st century music.
His keyboard solo sounds a lot like a Zappa guitar solo played on a keyboard. Or is it just me?
What's even crazy is child prodigy Domi Degalle played the whole thing on piano just from a one time listen. SHES AN ALIEN.
Snarky Puppy opened for Steely Dan last summer. It was heaven.
Dude, I bet that was one hell of a show.
Good lord I can only imagine how awesome that would have been
Are you kidding me? Just wow
OMG..what an evening that had to be! Musical bliss!
Oh my god!! That must have been amazing!! Where was that concert?
Musicianship meets groove .
These young Cats represent what's best in Music today .
Top Shelf inventory .
The Drummer Larnell Lewis learnt the entire we like it here set on a 7.5 hour plane trip
No, he actually knew a couple of tunes already, since he's played them before with them, but he did learn most of it on the plane. There's a whole documentary out there on it. They had like one or two run throughs before rolling tape, but it's still an incredible feat and performance by Larnell. That video from Zildjian Live is killer too.
It's like a scavenger hunt, looking for where this comment is in every Lingus reaction video 🤣
Snarky Puppy is really a "collective" of musicians and all of them are extraordinary. Corey Henry is exceptional on the keyboards and they tour all the time so please go see them. There is a reason they always win Grammy Awards.
The Corey Henry/Larnell Lewis section is the top echelon of improvisation! The conversation between the two of them takes off to a frantic feeding frenzy. That was one of the most ethereal, otherworldly jazz conversations ever recorded. Now you need to do “Something” by Snarky with Layla Hathaway!
I have to dig into these guys, their is some Afro-rthmic timing differences are phenomenal! Damn, I’ve been living under a rock😂😂😇
Yep, drummer and keyboards blew me away first time I heard this. So good to see jazz-rock fusion making a comeback.
Man I couldn’t agree with you more. Pure raw talent❤️man, they’re Funky! Love the alto sax. So cool, my introduction.🥰
I’ve never listened to them before absolutely awesome!!! More please!!!
For ensemble playing, no one's better than Snarky Puppy.
Yes, every musician playing in the Lingus video is a full time member lf the band, except Cory Henry, who played the amazing keyboard solo, who has since left to focus on his solo career, and more members have since joined or rejoined. They have 18 or 19 members at the moment, but they never play gigs with the whole band, usually between 9 and 12 musicians on stage, since they all have multiple commitments. It works, since they have at least two members who play each instrument, except for the bass, but the bassist, Michael League, is the bandleader, and he plays every gig. I saw them live last year, and they sounded fucking incredible.
Lionel Lewis the drummer....was a stand in for the We Like it Here project. Original drummer's passport was expired and the session was recorded in the Netherlands. The gentleman next to Cory Henry that was shainkg his head during the keyboard solo is Sean Martin and has 6 grammys to his name. Thanks for a good reaction
I believe Lionel was called in very quickly and listened to the songs he was supposed to play perfectly for the first time while on the flight.
Larnell*
@@RobertClaeson Yep, he learned all but two of the songs in the album (he already knew those 2) on the 7 hours flight there. Then he showed up the day they started recording, while everyone else had 4 days together to rehearse. He's crazy good.
I want to thank you for including this Snarky Puppy tune in the reviews!
My late husband was a total jazz enthusiast and musician, and he so enjoyed these guys!
He'd put on some SP music and jam out with them on his trumpet or fluglehorn.
Brings great memories to me now.❤
R.I.P. Shaun Martin😔...Snarky Puppy is one of the greatest bands I've ever heard in my life!
Love seeing new reactions to this vid, W kings merch brotha, lpve from Sacramento!
Say a prayer for Shaun Martin (synth). He's had some significant health problems and I hope he is doing better. Great guy and musician.
RIP Shaun Martin
RIP Shaun Martin❤
I found these cats about a year ago. Totally by accident, I was actually tracking down Larnell Lewis. The man on the skins. Great Zildjan Live video of Larnell with Ghost Note. As of now this is my fav track from Snarky…I’ve watched this exact video over and over. Love You Guys ❤
This is live gold. Historic. To miss out on this performance is to miss out on why music is so glorious.
Cory Henry played organ in church when he was 2 years old... look it up here on YT. So...
And this session is the official "We Like It Here" album so props to the engineering too!!! Michael League is the Bassist, leader, composer and arranger of Snarky Puppy. He also has another project called "Bokanté" a more world music band that is based around north african music. He mostly lives in Portugal since years...
You're in for a treat fellas, their catalogue will be right up your alley. The level of musicianship and how tight they are is mind blowing.
Michael League, the bassist composes most of their songs. The band was formed at the Univ of North Texas in 2004. Corey Henry on keyboards is a savant, Larnell Lewis on drums is one of the best. He learned most of the songs on a plane ride to Europe to get to this recording session. Everyone is wearing headphones including the audience. I think they’re listening to the sound as it goes directly to the mixing board, or something like that. Every time they put out an album it wins Grammy Awards. Shofukan, What About Me and Outlier from this same show are highly recommended. Next level musicianship. Check out Larnell Lewis listening to Enter Sandman for the first time and playing drums to it the second time. It’s on YT. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow!!! This is fantastic. Never have heard this or the Band. I must be living under a rock. Thanks for introducing me to Snarky Puppy. Excellent reaction fellas 👌
We’ve been under the same rock. 😂
@AirplayBeats Keep up the excellent work my friends 🧡
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
The band learns all the tunes (mainly written by Micheal League the bass player) all by ear. So tight, so in the groove.
Bernard "Nard" Wright, (son of Roberta Flack) was a featured keyboardist on their Empire Central (Take It) recordings, just before his death.
If you guys are doing more Snarky Puppy, you need to listen to "Something". They won a Grammy for that performance. Lailah Hathaway has one of the best vocal performances I have EVER heard. I guarantee you fellas will be blown away!
Just to put into perspective how godly talented all these guys are, the guy who got up and left himself has 7 grammy's to his name. SEVEN.
Unfortunately he recently passed. RIP Shaun Martin
I'm glad that there is still good, sophisticated music and musicians these days 🎸🎷🎺🥁🎹
You know you're a once in a lifetime keyboard player when Shaun Martin's walking off in awe...
I think yall would get a kick out of Thing of Gold by Snarky Puppy. That ending solo is uplifting...
R.I.P. Shaun Martin (the man who was reacting to Cory's solo)
oh lord this is one of those life-changing tracks that you really wish you could experience again for the first time.
He’s literally playing the same thing with both hands, how did I just notice that. This guy is an alien
I'm sure these guys would have been playing with Zappa if he was alive today. RIP Frank :(
I love FZ, but there is no way he would play with these guys. Zappa wanted every bit of his songs to be structured and planned out to the last note. These guys are huge on improvisation which Zappa hated.
Or Mahavishnu, Weather Report and Return to Forever!
Amazing band to see live. It’s not just that they are A level,musicians , it’s that they’re also super entertaining
Thanks for doing this. I have listened to this probably a HUNDRED times! It is the best jazz solo I can remember, and the whole band is over the top. Thanks for listen #101, guys!
Love me some “Lingus” in the morning.😉
This is really good. Never heard of them before! Thanks for turning me on to them!
Snarky Puppy - What about me, is another good one.
Definitely worth checking out more of their tunes! Amazing talent and ear candy! 🎧
I got to see them a couple summers ago open for Steely Dan. They are fantastic and the whole catalog is worth exploring.
Thankyou so much for reacting to this! Larnell Lewis is a drum genius as is Cory Henry on keys.
Echoes of Return to Forever , Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra❤
The keyboard solo and Lewis's sticking were amazing
the genius of Corey Henry's solo is through the roof. the other keyboardist behind him is like, "I'm out.".
Quite a stacked band. This album is really good all the way through.
I would love to see you guys react to any and every other track from this session. They are all on UA-cam
I have been lucky enough to see both Cory Henry’s trio a few years ago and Snarky Puppy in Sydney Australia just a few months ago… it’s more exciting and live and unpredictable and expert and teamwork than any sporting event you can think of. These guys are all at the top of the game. Super nice, too… got to chat with both Cory and BassistSP Founder Michael League after both of their shows and they are in it for the love of makin pure sound, that is all.
Great reaction! Love Jazz funk these guys are fire. Keep on rocking gentlemen the horn section is phenomenal. Thank you for what you do for the Airbeats family…❤
Thank you!! More LED Zeppelin coming for you this week as well!!
Best collection of fantastic jazz musicians I’ve ever seen in concert
OOOOOHHHHH, MAN - you guys are gonna DIG THIS!!! LOVE THIS SONG!! SO GOOD!!! ...and, SO COMPLEX!!!
Definitely check out their tune called “What About Me”
what would really blow your minds is the drummer for the group could not make it to this recording, so they called in a stand in that memorized the song on the flight in. Amazing
I'd love to see you guys react to their version of Don't You Know featuring Jacob Collier. That track is nuts!
Damn. 56 yr old rock head and just hearing this those horn hooks are fire. ! Tx fellas!
Nice reaction gents! I saw Snarky Puppy on tour last November at UC Davis, Mondavi Center and oh, what a treat. Great venue, fabulous performance. They really are a must-see band.
Saw them in Auburn, Washington a few years back. They opened for Steely Dan. Outstanding group of musicians!
On another video, I think the original of this, they said "I Paid for the whole synthesizer I'm gonna use the whole synthesizer" 🤣🤣😍😍
Damn, that's a nice intro! I thought was watching a professinal ad for some audio equipment, I was waiting for the skip button 😂😂😂
Also, this song... just... bro...
One of my favorite songs…I saw the Kings gear and I instantly subbed!!
Another great Drummer From Toronto , Larnell Lewis
What an insightful reaction, noting the doubling of the bass in the beginning, and the work of the drummer. New subscriber here!
Guys! You FINALLY found Snarky Puppy! Love this!!! Please listen to the whole album!!! The Great Cory Henry on keys!!!
One of the best reactions I've seen to this track in a while. Always nice to see it get heard by people who TRULY appreciate it. Please do 'What about me?' next. The drummer, Larnell Lewis (who has plenty of his own videos worth a reaction, see 'Larnell Lewis hears a song once and plays it perfectly'), absolutely destroys it, along with the rest of the band as always. Do it. Now.
I’m so stoked that you guys have found Snarky Puppy. I’ve loved your Steely Dan reactions and tbh after Steely Dan only bands like Snarky Puppy and Dirty loops will do. Please react to Dirty Loops soon guys
I saw them open for Steely Dan. I think out of their 40 or more "members", 10 joined them for that concert. The entire set were tunes from a new UNRELEASED album. It takes major stones to do that live in concert. They were terrific.
Some of the best ensemble and soloing you'll ever hear. Monsters, monsters. Larnell is a killer, so is Cory.
This group is bananas
This is why you guys are the best. 👍👑
Well that was a fun ride. Thanks for finding live footage 👏
Wow, you've discovered Snarky Puppy, welcome to the journey that never ends! :) Just the best!
Wow.... Loved seeing your faces as this went on. New sub with this. Can't wait for more!!
Wow, I have heard of them but never checked them out. PHENOMENAL!
WOW! FANTASTIC!🎼
Oh and an FYI heads up they are playing at the Terrace Theater here in Long Beach... ❤❤
I only knew of the band when i saw the advert outside the theatre on ocean and that was the first video/ song listened to blew my mind
It makes me feel good every time I hear this! Cory Henry IS the real deal!
Corey was on some Stevie Wonder keyboard level. Insane.
ELVIS COSTELLO! WATCHING THE DETECTIVES! Love you guys
Hell yes!
"Trinity" the extended version is another great song.
What I would do to have been in the room for this performance...
Bravo ! Now there’s talent !!!
Hello fellas,snarky puppy is the brain child of Michael League ( the bass player ) met him a couple of times , he is a very nice man, seen this band about three times live, never disappoint . I sent you two memory sticks with some snarky albums on it and I put some discography's on them too ( Beatles, Santana, bob Marley, Stevie wonder, clapton,…ect..) and various other albums too , should be in your PO box in the next two days . all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Wow. Thank you my friend. Cannot wait to hear what’s on there.
@@AirplayBeats all good stuff , it should be with you in a day or two tops .
@@AirplayBeats its in your PO box now
@@peteroneill3993 awesome. I will go get it some time this week. Thanks again my friend!!
The drummer Larnell Lewis has a F-ING INCREDIBLE drum solo on his own song. City Lights Solo.... very short (3:46) but the musical IQ is off the charts! It is SO TASTEFUL. Larnell is top 5 to me.
Flawless 🔥 they murdered everyone in the room and left them bleeding on the floor 😂 9:00
😂
You guys should check out DOMi and JD Beck -- two teenage jazz virtuosos on keys and drums. They're signed to Anderson .Paak's label.
Great takes me back to Weather Report, Return to Forever, wonderful jazz fusion
Some of this reminded me of Sonic the Hedgehog music 😂
Yes, Snarky Puppy!👍👍 I Couldn't wait for you guys to hear them. You have to react to Shofukan!👍👍
It's still my favorite..and reminds me when my son and his jazz band covered it.
🎺✌
ALL go good - but, Larnell & Corey left me SPEECHLESS on this one!!
You may not be into their music style which is a jazz fusion.... but these are some of the best musicians in the world.
Thanks, that was fabulous!
This was cool. First time I’ve heard them. They remind me a lot of Emerson, Lake and Palmer except for the horns. Can we have some more?
Watch the whole show....epic!
Keyboards by Cory Henry :
(Wikipedia)
"Cory Alexander Henry (born February 27, 1987) is an American jazz organist, pianist, gospel musician, and producer. A former member of Snarky Puppy, Henry launched his solo artist career in 2018 with Art of Love, his first independent release. In 2020, he released his sophomore full-length project called Something to Say which included the Marc E. Bassy-written track "No Guns". That same year he released Art of Love Live and Christmas with You both under Culture Collective management and records."
Welcome to the rabbithole 😂
❤
This is the last song on the album. A full album review would be great. There's a documentary on the making of the slbum that cones with it. Their regular drummer couldn't make it. Larnell listened to MP3s of the demos on the fight from the US and arrived two hours before the first of 8 recording sessions.
Corey Henry can play a lot of instruments. Shaun Martin, the keyboardist who took off his headphones and walked off, has 7 Grammys. 3 with Snarky and 4 as Kirk Franklin's musical director. Snsrky Puppy have won 5 total, 2 before he joined, including the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, Empire Central[.
Corey Henry playing and singing Everybody Wants To Rule The World with Scary Pockets.
Yea guys finally got there amazing music. And I think the keyboard player was channeling Chick Corea rip.
Robert "Sput" Straight & "Ghost Note" also display this Next Level Funk/Soul/Jazz improvisational Mastery .
"Zildjian Live" features lotsa these folks :
recently passed drummer Aaron Spears , Marcus Gilmore , Larnell Lewis (Snarky Puppy) , Dennis Chambers (etc.) .
A collection of virtuosos rarely seen .
best 5/4 groove in history
Wow.
You guys should check out some more snarky puppy. “Outlier” and “what about me” are great songs
