Cory Henry and Heen Wah play Chick Corea's "Spain" on the Roli Seaboard at NAMM 2014

[@LuckFx]

R.I.P. Chick, inspiring generations of musicians for more than half a century. You'll continue to do so but will be sorely missed...

[@deletekwei8586]

❤️

[@pierreangelo8264]

He's in Spain, on Green Dolphin Street, sippin on Bitches Brew.

[@kosmokatze3774]

i cant believe its been over a year since his passing

[@erzloh]

I will still remember the time i was in a music store and was improvising on the piano and i started playing the Spain riff and then someone else in the store actually responded by playing the second part of the riff, i was so surprised and we continued to improvise on the song!

[@alcubierrevj]

When these two cats just casually traded parts half way through without missing a beat my mind was blown

[@keenanlarsen1639]

When I was in music school, I played this game with my classmates where we would play trios and you had to switch up a part at the end of every line. 😂 Usually alcohol was involved 😁

[@seanhornibrook]

The most amazing part of this video is when everyone stops being amazed at what it looks like and just shuts up and realizes how expressively they can play on it. I wish I could afford something like this..

[@neuron05]

Cory meets and beats a new instrument.

[@charlesfuller4363]

Its a fretless piano.....I can't wait till this is affordable

[@TheVashnessItself99]

pianos dont have frets though

[@callumissocoollikf]

I think it was more of, this is to a piano, what a fretless guitar is to a normal one

[@TheGreatUtopiaCat]

lol I think everyone understands what he means...

[@gregswallow9721]

Charles Fuller Don't fret over the comments.

[@42222]

you can get a small one for 300$

[@microjazzheads]

I saw the words "Corey Henry" and "Chick Corea's Spain" and very nearly dropped the baby.

[@BBousley]

Billy B dropping babies is the correct response to “Corey Henry” and “Spain”

[@quentinmckay8658]

🤣Funniest comment I've read all week. Thanks for that

[@AnEclecticMan]

😆

[@frankystrings]

I dropped the baby

[@jerrydouglas4583]

This is one of the best displays of musicianship I've enjoyed in a long time. I've never seen people play this well!!

[@guglacownt5946]

You should get out more

[@vetlerradio]

OMG Jerry, you just have to look at any prog metal band or jazz fusion to see this level (and even more) of musicianship.

[@ivyssauro123]

@@vetlerradio Hahaha well I don't believe there's anyone quite like Cory Henry in any "prog metal" bands What he did was much more than shred the harmonic minor scale at 200bpm

[@VerthDT]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJe0k6emZ6eaj5Y check again ;)

[@HieronymousLex]

@@vetlerradio yeah prog metal has some pretty insane musicianship but you really can’t compete with the pure musicality of the world’s greatest classical and jazz musicians.

[@newpianotutorials]

Two amazing players !

NPT Music are you everywhere or something? So random

[@PoggiiBonsii]

maybe. one for sure

[@Hnmcl-l9z]

PoggiiBonsii theyre both extremely good man

[@edmcguigan3501]

These guys must spend half their lives high on music. What talent! To have such music in your soul and the physical talent to express it. Must be a real thrill to make the instruments for musicians of this caliber as well.

[@nicktosti7487]

I was so afraid the video would be sideways when I first clicked on

[@specolishead1]

Good Lord!!... this is a masterclass. two masters improvising a tune on a new flat keyboard thing. How badass is this?? im hooked on Cory Henry music now....

[@zchdz]

The phrase he plays at 3:10 knocks the wind out of me every time

[@eveelliot4968]

So beautiful the way he floats over the beat, gospel players do it so masterfully

[@randomangel]

100%. 3:10-3:54!

Human brains are awesome.

[@Folgemilch21]

cottton™ you mean hands

you mean cory is a human???

[@Cali2Kyushu]

*eats another spoonful of human brains*

[@FawitoBlues]

5:08 pure genius by Corey!!

[@markjmoser]

when I see and hear this I just start smiling again and think humanity has a chance to survive thanks!

[@steverogers547]

You guys are so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing the video Kwaku.

cory henry was the perfect man to demonstrate the melodic capabilities of this instrument 🤯

[@patrickmwambalamascott6114]

2019 who is still watching? I love it

[@seangray4512]

Just seen it for the first time! I'm just blown away

[@dsiuhf187]

I cannot get enough of this video, every time I see it in my recommended I have to watch it.

[@edwardssistershands]

Every time I see a video of this thing, I get the feeling that is is more entertaining for the player than the listener. This totally reminds me of the beginning days of MIDI.

[@taokits1527]

Two souls and one love. Life is beautyful.

[@MrSketchbass]

Cory is so smooth. those slides on the bass side are funky

[@filippoterzaghii]

Look at Cory's face when he improvise!

[@jbachman01]

These two play so well with each other! Great listening and support during solos and interaction.

[@mikeluisipiano]

amazing! Corea Forever Alive!

[@rillloudmother]

these namm things are my favorite corey henry performances

[@marksalvati]

I think it's a great concept, but a lot of the demo videos are oddball artists doing oddball conceptual music. Now that I've seen this video I can totally see Chick and lots of other keyboard players saying "WOW - got to get me one!" He's among the most creative and open-minded musicians out there in my opinion - would be a great endorsement if they can catch him playing one. You guys are obviously very talented yourselves - great job!

[@astrophonix]

Jordan Rudess, the virtuoso keyboardist of Dream Theatre, is a great advocate of new and novel instruments and he has videos on youtube playing the seaboard!

[@TheOhmyrod]

Sadly Chick can only play on Yamahas by contract =(

[@MazBringsby]

Relax.

[@aholder4471]

Corey Henry is working his way to the top of the jazz ladder in my opinion. He plays with Snarky Puppy which is easily one of my favorite jazz bands touring right now. If you haven't heard of them and you like jazz, check them out. Family Dinner volume 1 and 2 are stellar. I love all their stuff though.

[@ToomanyFrancis]

@@aholder4471 He left Snarky Puppy a few years ago, but he is for sure one of the best modern jazz musicians.

[@OfficialReggarf]

Man, i was commenting when You have changed places and I was like - whaaat? That transition was soooooo smooth. ;)

[@DOSputin]

WOW. no words.

[@luciavanderpijl4501]

[@timothyvaher2421]

[@TobechukwuElijah]

So amazing. I'm impressed.

[@kade1348]

I come back to this often

[@Manyeyebrows]

Has he ever played this instrument before this point? I could believe he just walked up to this thing that day and started cranking out magic. I am a bit biased though. Love his work with Snarky Puppy!

[@saaw8344]

Definitely must take some time to get it right but the possibility is insane

[@supyalld638]

It's basically piano... nothing to get hyped about ... it takes seconds to get used to it

[@Jae77]

@@supyalld638 nah really. Having no keys to press down upon takes some time getting use to, as you have to align your fingers perfectly on the center of the keys or else it's out of tune.

I wonder how the seaboard will hold up after years of glides across the keys?

[@DOSputin]

Think it will hold up really well. It's Silicone.

[@macmoll]

The demo model at my local Guitar Center is warped to shit. But that is an extreme circumstance.

It does take a while to learn how to play it. The keys are very sensitive, but once you get the hang of it you can make amazing sounds and songs.

it did that because you control the pitch bend with the key
