Cory Henry- Switch (Live at the Piano)

[@swensonjonah]

I just saw him perform this last night, and I think people don't appreciate here the amount of things Cory Henry is doing at once. Especially the footwork where he is managing the legato pedal for the release of different chords and notes on top of controlling the kick drum, while also playing either a bass line or chord (or both) on the left hand, while soloing on the right hand, while also singing. So he's actively controlling six different separate rhythms at once (kick drum, legato pedal, bass line, chords, soloing, singing). The amount of skill, control, and dedication to be able to play at this level with such control and feel is insane.

[@robertklokk]

This is so satisfying to read! I was wondering if that was him playing the kick drum :D Haha! He's extremely talented, and I bet he works hard as all damn hell.

[@samjohnsonmusic942]

His ability to do this so flawlessly most definitely comes from his Organ 'programming' (as I would say) from a young age... the doc knows best...

[@PeteBluesman]

Cory is so full of music it fills every corner of the room, and the audience's reaction to it is infectious.

[@DGY6766]

The piano slap of the day - A little complicated musically but it grooves to death. Cory Henry in his piano works. Actually dude is a genius on the keyboard. It's incredible to hold a groove with something this disjointed! He wanders between different rhythms, surfing between tonality and atonal! And the independence of right and left hands is madness

[@steverichardson7971]

Cory’s feel of time is insane, creating groove out of thin air

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

That's what I'm talking bout! Man just generates this insane driving rhythm from nothing. Ridiculous level of musicianship!

[@noratouma299]

God talks to him 😊

[@PhatTrumpet2]

This man is a treasure and must be protected at all cost.

[@lakanbass]

If one day internet goes down, the only thing I'll be so mad about is not having this video to listen to. I swear we are not grateful enough for the things we are given...

[@RahulSrivastava-dk7wf]

That piano sounds divine 💥

[@ataylor992]

Preach! I love when Cory goes jazz on em and some people aren't sure if he's going to come back to the groove but little do they know he always comes back.

[@noratouma299]

😂 yes..true

[@NeonVines]

Hell yes

[@LoikBredoleseOfficial]

5:48 Bam bam bam bam ! - *cosmic hammer groove* - Bom bom bom bom - (loopable)

[@vanofono3296]

Yeah, my favorite place in this work

[@joebuono8793]

Yessir!

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

5:07 There's that insane effortless hand independence again. Cory's musicianship is out of this world man

[@ianmoore5502]

I wonder if the "mm, mm" at 5:13 is right when he is just double checking his left hand is still grooving when he was just barely hesitant on the F octave for a second. It's like he''s reaffirming himself lol

[@emmanuelbanda784]

Cory is an Apostle

[@arlenemassey3346]

I'm thinking of Bill Evans 60 years later, piano genius brothers 💖

[@JIsaacMardis]

Dynamics for days

[@resheed.reid_]

This song is a groove !! Especially his rendition on organ 🤦🏽‍♂️🔥🔥

[@rolandoofficial8735]

I believe in this song, good Player

[@DiegoooTech]

Beautifull

[@beamannydanny]

Bro is GOATED WITH THE SAUCE 👏🏻👏🏻

[@spreiselbeerleprv]

Very nice performance. =)

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Now I'm into the high double digits rewatching this performance. Currently I can't think of another musical performance that I enjoyed more - and I've seen Herbie Hancock live. Man, I really need to make it to one of Cory's shows! Edit: Now triple digits...

[@christophersykora6223]

This is amazing.

[@kacperiwomatuszewski5395]

I hate the fact that the word "genius" has been devaluated so much recently, by using it to describe mediocre producers. Now I lack words to describe this phenomenon. Absolutely stunning.

[@vanofono3296]

❤❤❤awesome

[@ronsmith1364]

That piano sounds like it took a shot to get started & then polished off the 5th for well deserved pat on the back. Sooo Lush!! tfs

[@booter5956]

i would run across the world to be there

[@israelsprince]

Dope!!!

[@ghalmenschlager]

Can’t stop listen to this… just listening repeatedly over and over… what an amazing performance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it just has it all

[@robinkinser4306]

❤❤❤❤

[@danielhutchinson7073]

The Engineers seated Cory inside the time machine. "We'll see you in 70 years, when the current catches you up with our timestream." "And what is my purpose until that time has run?" "You must locate keyboards. Show them how it's DONE."

[@gwgwgwgw1854]

I watch this for Spiritual Nourishment!

[@noratouma299]

Yeeeah !! See ya on 13 Nov in London! Can't wait for some preaching 😊❤

💪🏽✊🏽🖤

[@soulive.]

💫

[@mickaelmarin1221]

the best keyboardiste all over the word !!!!!!!!!!! It is fucking groovy YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mrquick6775]

Definitely in the top 10! Amazing virtuosity!

[@mrquick6775]

Actually yep the best all around keyboardist! When you add in his ability on organ, synths, Synth programming, non traditional keyboards like the rolli keyboards(seaboards) and others. It becomes apparent that he can do just about anything on keys! So I think that qualifies for best all around keyboard player. Now of course there are other piano virtuosos who may display a little more virtuosity like Oscar Peterson(but he’s dead), Hiromi and people like that who could probably churn out jazz standards as well or better than Corey because they mainly just play piano, just like he mainly plays organ and I doubt if they could churn out an organ the way he does either so.. man shrug 🤷 Again pound for pound he’s the BEST! Peace and blessings’

[@puntaescala]

bebop

[@antonioasderti3855]

after some second everything around gets rythm and music ,we don't know if the music takes Cory o Cory takes the Music, anyway for some minutes all the spaces around is music prisoner.... repeat with me they are only 7 notes , they are only 7 notes , they are only 7 notes :)

[@booter5956]

12*

[@mrquick6775]

Yep, there are 12 notes!

[@WinrichNaujoks]

Are you really going to retire from music soon?

[@waltgdrums1]

What is creating all that percussive bass content? Is it Cory stomping his foot?

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Cory's doing it with a kick drum

[@antonioasderti3855]

if you look at Cory when he plays the church hammond, he plays bass with left feet , plays tunes but also create a bump.... rythm bump
