[@Bankai2169]

It was at that moment that the keyboard realized what it was capable of achieving

All joy, even after 10years... We'd miss Shaun Martin so much 😢

[@guidryjoseph44]

Corey Henry has soooo many options to take when he plays and he always chooses the classiest ways to play a solo......

[@markprater1]

What's amazing about this band is that they are ALL World Class musicians, and instead of the arrogance or competition that would typically happen with all of this skill and talent assembled, they seem to inspire each other to raise their game to the next level, and enjoy seeing each other excel, individual, collectively and even with guest artists. Micheal League has created an all-time greatest band, considering how many moving parts there are.

[@AlexReynard]

This is why I like Casiopia. The Mint Jams album is full of moments where they're trading solos and playing around, having fun and helping each other be their best.

[@lugiakid781]

6 years later and this still one of the best skate u performances. still bopping to this

[@RayfieldA]

So true! And this is why it's so frustrating that there is No Full clip of this performance to be found on KZbin!

[@lugiakid781]

I guess we just had to be there 😮‍💨

[@joshjones9749]

The moment you realize Cory was probably gonna do something different on the end of that lick at 1:27 but heard where micheal was going and matched it with those disgusting chords on the fly!

[@NINT3ND0master]

YES

[@arjanlinker512]

These are the chords at the end reharm if youre wondering: Am7 Abm7 Gm7 C7 Gb7 F7 E7 E7/G# Am7 Eb7 D7 G7 Am7 Eb7 D7 G7

[@AuXXKeyz]

God bless you brother

[@UkuleleAversion]

I just hear the Gb7 tbh. I don't hear him go from C7 to Gb7. Rest seems right.

[@matthewrotker-lynn7339]

I always love watching Shaun's expressions when Cory is playing..like Shaun is incredible but even he is just stunned by what comes out of Cory's fingers

[@antoine20008]

Who please is Shaun ?

[@nadavzeira389]

@@antoine20008 The other keyboard player. He's a legend, you should check him out ! (Unforuantely, he suffered from a stroke lately, so he's in recovery and not performing with the band atm, but hopefully he'll get better and go back to playing!)

[@nukarma]

@@antoine20008 the player to the right of cory; yet another legend in this amazing ensemble of musicians

[@chaunceyturman4987]

Mike and Corey deliver a masterclass at 1:21. Corey heads into his riff, Mike hears him extending melodic line and quickly changes his bass fill to a walking bass line that delivers them both safely back to the 1 chord. Legends are born when you can find that "zone" and spontaneously create what would take days or months to compose on paper.

[@steverichardson7971]

I think it was the other way around. Mike played a 3625 and Cory followed him, that’s why they are so impressed

[@bassicallywayne2404]

​@@steverichardson7971yeah you're right man

[@samcooke343]

Shaun's face with that reharm at the end is priceless.

[@charlesbell6693]

So fucking funky!!!!!

[@1254prod_]

he looks like he hit his head on something

[@amichaelhemingway]

1:25 - 1:28 is so dope! The run in the right hand, the chords in the left, the bass player doing the walk down, all in syncopation... Blew my mind! :D

[@fasanov123]

i have watched this video an unbelievable amount of times and i always wished the full thing was available. What a jam this is. Can’t get enough of watching the members faces during cory’s solo

[@PeterGarofaloJazz]

shaun Martin's reharm at the end...

[@edawg792]

*Peter Garofalo If only this video were a minute longer

[@corneliusclory7883]

This will forever be a classic.

[@josephguidry1187]

Corey has so many options it's ridiculous....and don't get it twisted...Shaun Martin standing behind him is a monster keyboard player as well.,,,

[@brandonterrill3260]

man is sophisticated for sure. what a cat.

[@waifuat]

I've been listening to this for days and I keep learning something new each time

[@urgentlyDuck]

at 1:28 Cory hears that michael squishes in a 36251 progression leading from Db to A and Cory actually adjusts his 16th note line and voicings in the left hand. Crazy how fast he can switch. there is none like that guy

[@dk8moore]

Cory and Micheal must have a mental connection or something... they left me speechless everytime.. THAT SOLO BTW :O I want to put my keyboards down forever... AWESOME

[@brenttauromusic]

Still my favourite solo.

[@mikeee1345]

I still say so myself lol

at 1:29 you haveto pause it and look at Cory, Shaun, and Micheal

haha yeah they are all like, where the f#ck did that come from?! LOOOL

Yaaaas instantly screenshotted it. XD This will be developed and get an honourable place in my wall.

[@diovdL]

I'm happy as a kid that I scrolled down to see what the comments where right after I heard and saw the 1:29 moment, just to find this to be the first comment. Being on the same page with fellow music enthusiasts💥 In my opinion these kind of gigs are exactly what video recording was invented for. Thanks for posting!

[@jkh988]

Thank you SO much for capturing this. The best improv I've heard. Insane and Tasty only begins to describe him.

[@ald5365]

There is only Snarky Puppy and Cory Henry together that manage too make my throat squeeze, and tears coming to my eyes, with just heavy groove and unbelievable musical keyboard chorus. It's insane !

[@PWMoze]

The start is fantastic, I love the quiet dignity of Shaun Martin as he witnesses pure genius playing right next to him! I'd give up on the spot!

[@jay2xtremefy]

I love how they compliment each other.

[@Felipe.avilla]

This is the one that i love the most! By far my favourite video!!! Such a pleasure to see SP live.

[@chaunceyturman4987]

I've seen these guys live a couple times. The energy between the band and the crowd is off the charts. Corey wasn't with them both times so I wished Corey toured with them more, but Shaun Martin is the real deal too. Like any truly great band, they listen to each other, they adjust, they flow....they are dynamic, and it makes all the difference in the world.

[@EllieReagan]

It just doesn't get much better than this. Cory is a living legend!
