It turns into a different song completely at that point, kind of ruining it for me, won't put this in my funky/groovy playlist due to it. Both parts are pretty damn great but shouldn't have been merged (imo)
@@tomdijk5549 agreed. I really dislike that tone, and I think that shift detracts from the song. But hey I don’t know shit, Cory and co are wizards, and I still love them.
Ok so the music is *obviously* killer. But can we all please show some love for the camera work? That smooth pan at 0:55 from Cory and Sonny on the fill to Kenni shredding the flute was FLAWLESS!
You're perfectly right mate....as a musician myself i concentrated mainly on the music and then, after your comment, i noticed the quality of the camera work. These are the things one usually takes for granted...big mistake! And thank you for your comment!
Appropriate choice Aidan! I don't know if you're a newbie or an experienced musician but, in any case, studying such lines and licks can make anyone a better player!👍🏻
I could be wong, but these videos/music are going to age like wine. This IS it! This is music from our generation that will be remembered. Who am I kidding. I'm not Wong.
I know this is going to sound like a *massive* overstatement and will no doubt rile those who won’t quite understand where I’m coming from with this, but as a Prince fan since 1982, I never thought I’d see a new talent after his passing that would do his legacy justice. Cory Wong is that new talent. Listening to him and watching him and his band is a joy, and brings back the same uplifting vibe I used to get when listening to new music from Prince or going to a show. The fact that Sonny T. occasionally guests with the band is a huge acknowledgment in and of itself of Cory’s chops. Sonny is not only a lovely guy, but one of the greatest Bass Players that’s ever lived (He’s certainly my personal favorite). Cory can do no Wong in my eyes. It feels good knowing that the purple torch has been passed to someone who respects and understands its worth, and will ensure the Minneapolis Sound continues to grow and thrive. Long may he reign!
the funk with the flute reminds me of a random japanese concept album i found in a record shop which is meant to be like a sound track to a show that didn't exist of a real book. it was called The Adventure of Kohsuke Kindaichi. it had some really funky stuff
The first flute's solo I love that much, this is sooooo smooth omg ! The vibes are just wholeeesome! The guitar on point obviously ... everything's just perfect. Love it so much !
liked this 26 seconds in - Cory is just absolutely killing it with the new content, i think this might be the blueprint for what a modern guitarist looks like
Marvelous Song Arrangement! Very skilled players all working in perfect unison. This is great music 😊 - hard to not replay it. 11/10 best describes it.
Corey Wong is the hardest workin dude in the game. All kind of collaborations, Solo tours, this UA-cam show. And it's all high quality, productions are insane...
@@iamthemoneyj I didn't write this solo. I think kenni may have grabbed a few key phrases that he liked from a demo we might have done, or from his own practice sessions, and made a few reminder notes on his part. Definitely 100% Kenni
@@Bone2BWildMusic ahh ok, my mistake. Thanks for the info, and amazing work on this album sir! You crushed it, I especially love the horns on direct flyte 🙏🙏🙏
What an amazing Formation! That melodic stuff complements the groovy parts, which are always there with cory, incredibly well. Looking forward to what is still to come..!

Cory Wong is the complete package…an excellent songwriter, arranger, producer, band leader, entertainer and from all accounts…a really lovely guy.
i don't know, his music is just cool, yes it has a feeling, but it looks like forcefully made for a while now.
Yes, but can he dance New York style mambo on 2? Lol
@@mviz2299 “forcefully made”?
What?
@@OilCanHarry2U I understand "forcefully made" and sometimes feel the same way about Wong. But he is a tremendous guitar player and very hardworking.
Excellent music
Nate Smith instantly takes any song to a higher level
What a drummer. I am a guitarist yet I can't stop admiring his groove, it's insane.
This song puts me in a good mood. Never fails
Cory, this is incredible. Flute solo kicks ass! Kenni killed it.
Yes, that flute solo was insane! And it isn't even Kenni's "main" instrument...
Incredible fresh air with this solo !! Congrats !! « De l’audace, toujours de l’audace, encore de l’audace ! »
What did Kenni kill this time!?!
100% killed it
That distorted guitar solo was magic. Rarely see that with Cory. Distortion I mean, Magic is common.
Your boy has been taking notes from Satriani since that colab! As you say, it really is incredible.
@@TheDudeOnTheDrums Wait what? Have I missed a Satriani Cory colab? Where?
@@Zhaggysfaction the song 'Massive' on the Striped Album. They did the song after Satch appeared on the podcast. Dope song

Yah buddy that was clean 👌
Sonny T on the bass at 3:40 is incredible! I'm going to try and learn the bassline by ear this week.
Appropriate choice Aidan! I don't know if you're a newbie or an experienced musician but, in any case, studying such lines and licks can make anyone a better player!👍🏻
I feel the Starsbourg Saint-Denis (Ray Hargrove) inspiration, with a modern funky touch, absolutely killed it !!!
Oh, and those solos, of course. Very soulful, absolutely love it
was wondering why I had Strasbourg stuck in my head yesterday lol
Now that you mention it, for sure! The bass line alone is giving it away, but the arangement and as you say solos have a similar yet very modern vibe
I came all the way down to the comment section to make this very remark!
thank you, I was so confused because it sounded so familiar yet so new :)
2:45 CORY!!! That freaking lead tone bro!!! 🔥
I could be wong, but these videos/music are going to age like wine.
This IS it! This is music from our generation that will be remembered.

"Sonny T. occasionally guests with the band" is inaccurate. He's a regular member of the band.
@@satsukikorin maybe a homage to vulf narrative: all members are “guests”!?
@@satsukikorin I think he just means he doesn't tour with Cory typically.
That lick at 1:06 is so tasty. The whole flute solo is sick!
¡Gracias!
the funk with the flute reminds me of a random japanese concept album i found in a record shop which is meant to be like a sound track to a show that didn't exist of a real book. it was called The Adventure of Kohsuke Kindaichi. it had some really funky stuff
although after searching it looks like there was eventually a show a few years later in 79
D'you have a link where I could give it a listen?

@@amelialikesfrogs5778 as a matter of fact I do !
I'm simple. I see Cory Wong, I click pay. Nate Smith in the thumbnail made the decision even quicker!
Funk is alive and well and living with you guys..!! 🙂
Absolutely love Kenni Holmen. That flute tone and solo was off the charts! Big fan now.
Careful, Kenni's piccolo work is sponsored by Depends.
@@EdgarC701 what???
@@thmsrttg The playin' be so good you gon' poop yo' pants
Your tone on that there Strat is the sweetest thing I've heard in forever...cheers sir...
The sound engineer for this video is a fucking GOD.
Enjoying this from Olympia, WA
Cory and The Wongnotes strike again. Instant classics
Instantly became my favorite. 2:47 onwards is magical.
Those muted horns and the CLARINETS!! Such an awesome tone. And that lead guitar gives me such strong city pop vibes. I love it!
Good lord this guy is so fuckign great. What a band, arrangements, the groove. So good
Kenni Holmen on that flute though 🔥🔥🔥
I am so glad music like this is still being made! Thank you, Cory❤
Yeah maaan
yo, that snare tone
Nice and phat 🙃
The first flute's solo I love that much, this is sooooo smooth omg ! The vibes are just wholeeesome!
The guitar on point obviously ...
everything's just perfect.
Love it so much !
Cory Wong, the hardest working man on UA-cam!
This was really, really good. i loved every second of it
I wanna move back to Minneapolis and get a lifetime pass to Cory Wong shows!!!
liked this 26 seconds in - Cory is just absolutely killing it with the new content, i think this might be the blueprint for what a modern guitarist looks like
Most complete guitar performance Cory has done yet. Great tones, spacing, etc. Hot
Impressive sax guys also very able to play clarinette or flute :0
That audio mix around the keys at 4:36 onwards; so dry! Excellence.
Danke!
thanku!
Marvelous Song Arrangement! Very skilled players all working in perfect unison. This is great music 😊 - hard to not replay it. 11/10 best describes it.
That flute is speaking a beautiful language.
0:58 the tastiest flute licks I've ever heard
Corey Wong is the hardest workin dude in the game.
All kind of collaborations,
Solo tours, this UA-cam show.
And it's all high quality, productions are insane...
I love the yazz flute
These videos are shot so well. Great lighting, camera angles, dolly shots and the audio is dynamite. You guys killin it ✌️
How do you just keep knocking it out of the park? What an incredible ensemble of musicians. Bravo!
god damn that whole flute solo with the brass melodies behind him was sick
I love how Nate just gives a whole different vibe to the song than Petar would.
I come back to this when I need serotonin
Always AWESOME 👌
Funk at it's finest and purest, music which you rarely hear these days, and what a unique, clean Strat tone. Accomplished.
Great music 🎶 👍🎸 Hope you would have a show in the SF Bay Area soon. 🙏😀
Kenni Holmen's solo reminded me so much of Rampal's playing. Such interesting lines
I believe this part was actually written by Michael Nelson. Kenni appears to be reading music
@@iamthemoneyj I didn't write this solo. I think kenni may have grabbed a few key phrases that he liked from a demo we might have done, or from his own practice sessions, and made a few reminder notes on his part. Definitely 100% Kenni

one of their best songs♥
Michael Chiklis killin it on the flute
Just saw this for the first time today. Instantly a fan. THANK YOU!
Good
Haven’t heard it and already liked it
I jus' like what he does .He shows dat he luv's playin' and his arrangements are very cool..his band is very tight also.
A great tune ! 😍
God damn this is beautiful.
New favorite cory wong track!!!
amazing...and the song is named after my home town.absolutely amazing.
i love mark lettieri❤
love the build up on this!
I absolutely adored the woodwinds on this one! Rythm section on fire also :D Salve Negah, representando muito
Pure Minneapolis 💯💯💯💯😎😎😎😎
Justice for Barbash on the clarinet!
SUPER NICE!!!!!!
2:45 Guitar: engaging 80's hair metal ballad mode
Just wow, love it !!!
Was so good I watched it twice. Would love to get my hands on one of your Strats. The blue and white with the rosewood looks fantastic.
I am loving power station!!
Yeah...Soooo groovy & Funky medecine! Thank you! Cheers from the Caribbeans !!!😃
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌎🌊🌞🇲🇫
the joy of music
This is sick !
Kenni crushing the flute!
love this song
He's got air in his hi-hats! Getting a bit of an Aja-light vibe on this track.
masterpiece
Went to a concert in Utah and saw them live and it was awesome?! They even mix things up in quite a surprising way. Great new album!
Fantastic piece. The influence of "Roy Hargrove - Strasbourg St Denis" is there.
Merci
the woodwinds really make this tune float up in the sky :)
this is definitely one of my favorite songs from Wong Notes, the feel and the flute solo was just absolutely amazing
NICE👍🏾
can't estimate amount of heart' movings.. The sensational rhythm
Bravi... che bella melodia e che bella armonia.
UAU, perfect song and groove, just dance here, thanks!
Ron Burgundy would've been proud of that flute solo.
😄 Yazz flute.
One of my favourites from the new álbum!
Bro, you GOT to stop getting better, I can't take no mo' !!!
That fat punchy snare sound! Brilliant. How did they get it? I don’t even notice a mike attached to the snare …
his name is Nate Smith, he's so good at drums its amazing. definitely check more of his stuff out if you're ever bored
What an amazing Formation!
That melodic stuff complements the groovy parts, which are always there with cory, incredibly well.
Looking forward to what is still to come..!
Oh my god what a banger.
Can’t even keep up with the amount of fire tunes this man drops 🔥
Perfection.
Grande 💯💪🙏
Some big Gordon Goodwin vibes on this one, such a jam!
This is a good 👍🏼
Grand! Merci
Incredible
