Cory Henry: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@tbz1551]

Bless the audio engineering skills of whomever set this up.

[@monodimpled]

The Star Trek guy apparently

[@Tandematic]

Josh Rogozin is fantastic.

[@madsea]

James Kirk is his name

[@engo74]

Agree

[@olamideogundiran6892]

I heard the engineering work even before paying attention to Cory. Such a beauty.

[@maxhelius6349]

I can't believe this is free to watch.

[@ericalford6054]

My ears where truly blessed this morning Cory Henry is amazing but can we please give up for the drummer wow wow...his timing, tempo changes and rhythms are on another whole other level

[@tonytortora448]

was looking for this comment, that man was swiss watch precision

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I want to say... same they work so well together, need his mame

[@hobsonowen3829]

@@LafemmebearMusic Tarron Lockett

[@gustafsone]

Well he is one of the Funk Apostles, after all. He also has a catch phrase to go with his name, "TaRon Lockett in the pocket!" because that's where he lives ;)

[@kevkeisha]

Also the sound engineer! Freaking CRISPY sound!

[@Star-Mac10]

The sound is so crisp and clean, like a snowy winter's night.

[@revenant235]

Yes! 🔥❄️☃️

[@hardclan1039]

It’s an alternate reality version of the charlie brown christmas special music

[@InXLsisDeo]

NPR Tiny Desk concerts are very well taken but this one is especially crisp.

[@brklynbomber]

Of course, Cory is gonna Cory.... But can we please give the drummer some....

[@andrewthemorley]

Yeah, the way he's constantly flipping the beat inside out but still catching everything is a bit nuts.

[@Danilo8208SS]

TaRon Lockett is such a solid drummer. I saw the Funk Apostles last year and he didn't miss a single cue even while playing with total freedom. His listening skills are what make him so good. He's constantly tuned in and reacting to Cory's every move.

[@live4musiK777]

I agree. Who is the drummer? He's incredible!

[@jermss_]

@@live4musiK777 that's Taron Lockett just a masterful drummer

[@sadiethreat]

😍 🤤

[@Andy33615]

I see Snoopy, Charlie Brown and all their friends dancin around the christmas tree. Thank You, Cory Schröder! 😉

[@maxxadrenaline]

same. I was like "this should be in that charliebrown reboot"

[@omorganlabs]

Ha ha Cory Schroder...yep

[@serbass2043]

Thundercat on the shaker!!!

[@berend3451]

Wasn't that at the Mac Miller tiny desk? That one was really good

[@treehann]

@@berend3451 it was and it was! I gotta go watch it again!

[@giuliaostoni6235]

THIS IS SOUND QUALITY GUYS I am TRULY amazed by everything in this video... the drumming is just Incredible!!!

[@GenericUrbanism]

TaRon Lockett on drums

[@DeuceLauderdaleProductions]

These two have an impeccable chemistry!!

[@GIMOTOR4]

It's the facial expressions for both of them that did it for me. That's when you know that they are really feeling it.

[@edwardbautista146]

I believe this title should be renamed “GOAT kills it for NPR”

[@Matthew_Conners]

Haha and for everybody else

[@Whitsum90]

this is the platonic ideal of what a rack tom should sound like

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Love his tuning, attack, and tone.

[@jvnapod]

The Tiny Desk Concert we all needed!!!

[@pelicans456]

I'm a simple man, I see Cory Henry and I upvote.

[@tamthetamtam]

Thoses smiles.... Made me feel the music even more Spreading good vibes and good music is what we need right now Cheers everybody, stay safe

[@Mike_C-79]

The drummer is brilliant. I just want to live in that room.

[@ElectricCelt56]

How does a competent gospel organist become this singular jazz pianist? The voice leading, the left hand bass, all sound young and fresh. And that voice is angelic!

[@kylewis]

The time signature thou..

[@treehann]

what was it?

[@romsampson475]

The chemistry between them is flawless

[@stevenvasquez7726]

Cory and TaRon have that special musical chemistry. Hope you two never split up as your careers develop! Absolutely phenomenal performance!

[@glory4280]

If any of y'all somehow missed Cory's latest Christmas album, go check it out so you can feast your ears before the holidays are over

[@snadert]

I totally missed it! Thank you! :)

Thanks

[@gentlespirit4]

Thank you! It’ll be my first purchase of 2021! Have a great 2021, y’all!

[@d-robbvibin2565]

One of the best musicians hands down, in my book.

[@MozesWild]

Bro. Those arrangements and expressions were beautiful. Merry Christmas.

[@CONSCI]

Complex yet enjoyable!

[@justinguitarcia]

I think that sums up Cory Henry's playing. He's such a powerhouse and has this crazy deep musical understanding but his sense of melody is so strong that everything still sounds grounded and pleasing no matter how complex it gets

[@pradheesandeepana]

We have to evolve 😬

[@shryve]

Love how Cory keeps his left hand busy while playing with his right, which gets the full potential from a piano.........

[@shodack5124]

The joy in both musicians, and in the music is so apparent, it's really a beautiful experience.

[@0003smailliWkcaJ]

Cory "YouWillExperienceTrueChristmasJoyInThisFdUpYear" Henry

[@dafingaz]

I always wondered what his middle name was. 🤣

[@superd222tube]

TaRon Lockett, drummer, needs to become a household name. What a great performance guys!

[@superd222tube]

2+ years of smiles, happy ears, and goosebumps from this recording. Thank you!

[@ernomijland]

2020 may have been a dark year. It was also the year I discovered Cory's music. I've watched the brilliant Snarky Puppy recording 'Lingus' so many times. Thanks for sharing this beautiful Christmas mini concert. Hope to see Cory live in the near future!

[@gumwarrior]

Thank you Cory (and drummer) , you truely put a graceful smile on this face.

[@lwendt1]

Beautiful playing, so fluid, soulful, hopeful. Beautiful artists! And the sound engineering - wow! Thanks to all!

[@JalenWright35]

He never disappoint! Stank face the ENTIRE time watching this!

[@seven8time]

Any dislikes are the same people still expecting Lingus.

[@dasha-power-theauthor]

Seriously, what's up with people? I get it if jazz is not to someone's liking, but then please just go to another video, no need to spread the dislikes.

[@brunoandrea4846]

@@dasha-power-theauthor 4 out of 500 is nothing tho

[@dasha-power-theauthor]

You're right, I know. I just don't understand the logic in general. Unless I really disagree with someone's view or I think something is vile, I will never give a thumbs down, you know what I mean? Just trying to understand how certain human work and I'm fed up with the general negativity I guess:)

[@DuhBlueDream]

Yes, hahah. I was thinking they’re the bitter ones!

[@NoBody6662]

Who cares for dislikes? I don't :)

[@tomas5376]

Bring them back! Some of the best jazz I’ve heard in a longtime. Misty Christmas takes me back 50 years to the Purple Onion and Dave Brubeck!👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎵⚒🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶

[@KeenanReimerWatts]

No words! Just incredible!

[@ayomiku22]

Cory is just one of the best immortal status..

Yes! Cory is the realest. He also has a very cute dog

[@SAM197470]

I’ve watched many performances featuring TaRon Lockett and his snare sounds absolutely insane in everyone. Such a good mix this

[@TheSvmurai]

Exactly what I needed this Christmas.

[@Michaelraymondonkeys]

I know y’all are wondering about the first song, it’s a tune written by an artist named Michael Gayle.

[@AMNationMedia]

TaRon Lockett’s head bop on the second song had me 😂. Love this!

[@kukamukipuki]

Just discovered him yesterday and you gave me this today. Wow

Thank God for Cory and TaRon. It sounds like well-made music will survive after all. "Beauty will save the world".

[@drudeadly]

Reminds me of me and my lil brother. I'd play drum set while he played piano for my mom's guest. Amazing skill and groove here. Thank you for sharing.

[@vibiify]

Corey you are amazing

[@rocdocs]

Im getting strong guaraldi vibes! Genius and emotional

[@kolerocks1]

Passion is infectious, when people like Cory and this amazing drummer put their passion out there it’s really a gift to the rest of the souls trying to find the passions in life. When I watch Cory play, and listen to him speak through his instrument I can feel the force of something bigger than either of us behind it. Something so big I can’t even describe the way it makes me feel. That’s what art is about, that’s what a true artist does for the rest of their kind. These are the translators to the great things we often can not understand.

[@suzaynnschick158]

I loved watching them smile as they played. :)

[@augustbramming4926]

I love it, also nice to see cory playing some acoustic piano:))
