Cory Henry’s solo on “Lingus” (FULL TRANSCRIPTION)

[@themodernshoe2466]

No one has felt more pressure than the horn and rhythm sections that had to come in after that solo and close the song out without messing up the take.

[@pasta4762]

Everyone in that room is pro most likely and is playing while thinking about what they're gonna do after this lol

[@Rob_132]

And they came in tight as hell :)

[@steverichardson7971]

If they did mess up the take, they would go down in history book as some of the most sinned in human history 😂

[@hskshag00]

Funny you say that, because Cory himself said this was not the take he would’ve chosen for the final cut if he was the producer. One of the greatest keys solos in recent memory wasn’t even the best take for those recording sessions to the artist himself lol

[@steverichardson7971]

@@hskshag00 where’s the interview, can I get a link please?

[@ironnwine12]

If you look up “How to Cook” in a jazz encyclopedia you find this.

[@fj3571]

It's obviously an amazing solo by Cory, but we have to give credit to Larnell as well. The drums added so much energy to the solo.

[@gonzadiazsola]

there are 2 drummers tho

[@xDjembex]

​@@gonzadiazsolayeah, it's a weird comment. The whole band builds the solo behind Cory.

[@hoist8111]

A great solo is a full band effort

[@d3j4v00]

Also the bass, piano, percussionist, hipster with the glasses in the audience….

[@dth5283]

@@d3j4v00Also the guy staring at him obviously

[@joseflowery]

This is one of the rare instances where musically you see a human being truly transcend to another dimension. Unreal

[@HyzerFlip]

IDK how I never internalized that he was doubling himself on the Rhoades. That's unreal skill.

[@pugsnhogz]

I've never seen anything like it!

[@ernesto8738]

doubling undersells it, like yeah he does but he also dances around himself back and forth, unreal

[@AspireAndInspire]

I'm pretty sure that's why the line around 3:00 makes Shaun Martin get up and walk away 😂 It immediately destroys anybody's attempts to discredit Cory and try to say "he's just playing random bs"

[@burleydad]

Oh yeah, I remember when I caught that. Probably the third time I listened to this. Still gets me pumped!

[@zynosgd9982]

This solo is a gift that keeps on giving

[@Cranio76]

Well said. Couldn't have it put better.

[@Jabo-2126]

Yes indeed

[@adamhawkins3000]

This group, this solo, the fact that someone transcribed this… gives new hope to humanity. ❤

[@hughpenner5051]

:)

[@peterthebull]

Exactly. THIS is what we should be doing. This and other cooperative ventures.

YES!

corey henry solo: skill level 10/10 Transcribing a corey henry solo and syncing too video: Skill level 1000000000000/10

[@ryanjd93]

I freakin love the look Michael gives as the music stops down at the beginning. He knows exactly what's coming, but he gives this look of wonder and anticipation. He is quite possibly the best band mate hype man of all time.

[@DizzyEyes94]

Michael's energy is some of the most beautiful shit I've ever seen. The absolute chaos in his eyes when his band mates go crazy fills me with so much glee for the music and its process

[@fatherjack8274]

Michael doesn't know what's coming. Cory changes it up every time. That looks is Michael wondering what in the world is Cory going to try this time?

[@pqunit]

Still such an unreal solo. I mean there's only 12 notes for Christ's sake. But none of us saw any of these ones coming.

[@hughpenner5051]

Haha cool way of putting it

[@MatNewtonTrio]

I agree with Shaun. His face says everything. This is way beyond level 10. Absolutely stunning playing. Superb Transcription

[@sebr7477]

you know you've done something right when Shaun Martin makes that face!

[@lesodell3489]

Cory and Larnell are proof that aliens are among us.

[@shlecko]

a- -a a-a-a a-aaa-a ONG??!!!

[@rongreen1103]

One of the most amazing keyboard solos ever. And I've seen Herbie, Chick, Jan, McCoy, Lyle, Horace....but this was off the chain...Bravo Cory....

[@SA_SovereigntyForPatriots]

Yes, indeed. However, without all of them there would be no Cory Henry. I can hear Chick, Herbie, McCoy and Lyle very clearly.

[@KavalierII]

This was Corey’s giant steps moment… seminal moment for modern jazz 🫡

[@Kazwell96]

Check out Jordan rudess! I feel you'd love his solo style

[@Dexisfree]

Larnell plays drums like the notes are ordained by the universe and hes just a vessel to play them i swear to god

[@ChrisLee-yr7tz]

If there is a God, it's Larnell Lewis.

[@nibbity8356]

This literally changed my life

[@rubenoliveira9518]

This is actually insane! I can't imagine how much time you spent on this, good work!

Cory is always so dope! Larnell provides one hell of a rhythmic foundation for him!

[@chrisbardolph]

This solo is one of my favorite moments in all of the music I've heard. It's just too perfect.

[@dgd216]

One of the best jazz solos i have ever heard.. probably the best

[@bryandickerson5365]

Brilliant job on the transcription. Makes my brain hurt just imagining figuring out the rhythms!

[@brightgogo1104]

Cory was in heaven playing this solo. It's out of this world

[@MattWilliams482]

It’s beyond out of this world, this was in the 9th dimension.

[@pillsburymusic]

I'm going to start learning it from the end. 204 measures of rest. So far so good :)

[@hughpenner5051]

🤣

[@jacx5884]

😂😂😂❤ love the levity!

[@VectorKappa]

One of the best "the lick" inserts, ever.

[@ChildishDanbino]

The way Larnell looks over like a proud dad when Cory first starts makes me happy

[@TheSpaceInvaderer]

The rhythm in the kick/bass messes with my head!

[@765lbsquat]

Them drums on point. Straight 🔥

[@REALGECKO4526GEEKERYTIME]

As a beginner, this inspired me. As an experienced musician, it scared me.

[@Jabo-2126]

Proof that we can accomplish something that brings such joy, together!! Together!!! Almost everyone is represented in the room. And everybody's part is EQUALLY important.

[@David..]

Don’t even read music but I noticed this in my scrolling thing and damn never miss an opportunity to hear this dude’s solo. It’s incredible! Every time. Must be fun as shit being this amazing at something.

[@aidannolanlogansawyer9777]

This man's chops are absolutely legendary

[@ErkaaJ]

People do not appreciate the AUDACITY to make this work, like, it should not be allowed to exist but it STILL does and it is amazing!!

[@gabbyb9939]

Wait why?? I love this solo so much and I want to know what makes it even better

[@adamswing6115]

​@@gabbyb9939it's just so off kilter and not in line with the rest of the song, but it somehow just fits

[@hughpenner5051]

Thank you!

[@toast1612]

i think it’s safe to say cory henry is the best keyboard player to ever live

[@wwhitman5586]

Actually, I hear this solo as a tribute to Chick Corea...

[@fredrikhelland8194]

Oreally? I hear it as a tribute to Liszt.

[@goldenburrr]

It's just amazing what cory does

[@feew2]

How is nobody commenting that this transcription is wild And accurate and for the love that all that is jazz we appreciate your service to the art, kind sir

[@hughpenner5051]

I really appreciate that, thank you :)

[@impromusic2831]

Craaazy groove man! Love it!

[@EpicLemonMusic]

Coming from an "Advanced" level pianist, this makes every piece I play seem beginner. To play even sixteenths and not get off time when they are phrased in odd patterns is just insane.

[@Rob_132]

Absolutely one of the best solos I’ve ever heard.

[@Bashanvibe]

The fact that Shaun Martin is no longer with us hits different watching him react to Cory Henery solo from one beast to another!!!

[@frederikmarohn6358]

Dude left the planetary realm and hit the Horldsworth language at 1:55. Honestly my favorite part.

[@holdommi7505]

Cory is a fucking monster on keyboards. That was off the chain! 😂 Even the other guy on keyboard next to him was like “Get the fuck out of here” with his expressions! 😆

Cory Henry can hear the beat before it’s even there… true genius…

[@castellotheleon1671]

I"ve heard snarky puppy whole discography and as a whole I don't find their music, although impressive, catching my musical veins. Lingus is one of a few very good ones. But this moment here is something else. This is the very soul of music.
