[@nathaniellollis3868]

I'm really sorry I couldn't find it within myelf to give you a "like" on this, bro. In my opinion, you stop the video WAY too much. And I find your commentary too... self-promoting? Reaction vids are actually supposed to be just that. Not so much your "critique". I can take a little "commentary" and be able to enjoy the music. But, when you stop the video (consistantly) throughout to talk, then I'm not getting REACTION. I'm getting someone who "feels the need to promote" their own self. I see your fingers moving around on your keyboard (as if YOU can play what's being played and I automatically become distracted by YOU; wanting to see YOU do it. It takes a WHOLE LOT away from the REACTION that I'm looking for and used to seeing.

[@HowardBuksbaum]

Totally agree. This guy is a total tool. He just doesn't get it. If we wanted to hear his reaction we'd watch his reaction video not a video of him pausing every so often to offer his comments and insight. I've unsubscribed and gave it a thumbs down. F him and his pausing.

[@MusicShed]

I’m sorry you feel that way. I just react to videos as I watch them. I hope you’ll check out future videos.

[@HowardBuksbaum]

@@MusicShed Have you ever seen a reaction video before? You wait until the end and then you react. That's why it's called a reaction. No one is watching to hear your reaction while you're watching. It's annoying and unprofessional. I DO NOT PLAN TO WATCH ANY FUTURE VIDEOS. You pause during almost every video.

[@MusicShed]

Are you serious? It’s You’re, not Your

[@HowardBuksbaum]

@@MusicShed I said "hear your reaction" and "while you're watching" how is that wrong? And yes, I'm serious. Also, you're really not a great piano player and it's annoying when you play over the music. Maybe focus more on the video and not the piano. Like Nathaniel pointed out, you're too self promoting.

[@Bobbias]

"That solo is historic" absolutely! That solo is going to influence thousands of musicians who come after it. The fact that this is a single take in front of a live audience is also a callback to old jazz recordings since that's how so many of them were recorded too (minus the headphones).

[@MartinLear_CChem_MRSC]

Interrupt for comments and thoughts as much as you like - love to hear your take and perspective. Hearty cheers to you 🤓

[@MusicShed]

Cheers!

[@TheSeeking2know]

Exactly! Pause away and share your opinion. There are enough gushing videos that is good to hear from someone who is obviously very accomplished and understands the actual language of the music as well.

[@HarryZumwalt]

Any hate you're getting is from people who haven't seen you channel or don't understand the perspective you have to provide. Excellent reaction. Would love to see you react to that video of Cory playing at 3 years old! I feel similarly to you; that talent boils down to hard work much more than people think. But that video always make me question those firmly held beliefs, HA!

[@amymalina5073]

I have heard this at least hundreds of time and I wish I could recreate the awe and wonder of hearing it for the first time again but hearing you react to it was the next best thing. You are a gem too.

[@tsg_frank5829]

Lingus Is probably one of the most impressive showcases of musical talent ever. Everybody is just bringing their best at every single second.

[@Bobbias]

One thing I realized recently is how the brass players are really listening to eachother when they take their solos. One guy plays lots of different notes, the next plays off the same note a bunch, the guy after that plays a simple rhythm to contrast the complicated one before him, etc. It's a real conversation, and it's probably the clearest example of that concept I've ever heard as a non-musician.

[@herveysherd3682]

Nobody: Needs more cowbell. Snarky Puppy: Needs more keyboard.

[@ShovelChef]

I forgot they really have an absurd number of keyboards. 😂

[@Slappyhorse]

i love what you said about hearing the music in his head and being able to play it and not being handicapped by his technique is so true. thousands and thousands of hours of practice

[@eliminoh_p7877]

Best “reaction” video on KZbin I’ve seen so far for Lingus. When you talked about the feeling of playing in an ensemble that really spoke to me. Obviously I’m nowhere near the level of these people but the feeling of being inside and adding to a thing that’s inside of you and outside of you at the same time is an experience that you just can’t describe, but you came close. Fantastic video. You got a like and a sub from me.

[@chucku00]

Larnell Lewis learned the full set on a flight from Europe to the US because he was replacing their usual drummer on short notice. This guy is an absolute beast. And Cory is in the zone. He's channeling his inner Herbie Corea, or Chick Hancock. Edit : I see we are on the same wave length.

[@frankfertier34]

I have watched a lot of lots of "reactors": your reaction is by far the most skilful and musical of it. keep up the good job.

[@Kwert]

As you said, that magic doesn’t come without the thousands of hours of honing the nitty-gritty of your craft. Cory Henry is a true master of his instrument and as such can just channel what he hears and feels. Every now and again a musician will channel some otherworldly energy through them and create something insanely special, but that can’t really happen without complete mastery.

[@rollomaughfling380]

Malcolm Gladwell "10,000 hours" new-age "American Dream" bullshit. I've been playing for nearly 45 years and have played with absolute prodigies. Some people come out of the gate running. Face it.

[@Kwert]

@@rollomaughfling380 Some people come out of the gate more inclined to be good at certain things, yes. If they don't direct their energy towards being good at those things, they don't get to the insane levels of people like Cory Henry. Nobody coasts by solely on innate talent - all these people also practice their asses off.

[@rollomaughfling380]

@@Kwert O' tell me more about life, and its mysteries, ye olde sage of a KZbin commenter! JFC. Full of yourself yet? 👀

[@Kwert]

@@rollomaughfling380 The only one here that seems full of themselves would be you. I’m sorry you’re so bitter about your failed music career that you have to immediately be aggressive when you engage with people.

[@rollomaughfling380]

@@Kwert "Bitter," "failed" lol. That's cute. On the contrary, Kwert, I'm very grateful for my long career doing what I love for a living. I haven't worked for anybody but myself for decades, and I pick and choose the people I work with, and the projects I work on, as I actually don't _need_ to work unless I want to. That's called "The Cut" my friend, and there's hardly any bitterness in The Cut that doesn't quickly melt away. Let me let you in on a little secret, 'Kwert': There have been people who operate like I do without a daily 'practice regime', like say, Todd Rundgren, and feel that over-practice/shedding/'running the changes' leads to clichés. This solo, and song, is a montage of previously established Jazz tropes, from the '70s on back. Is it a good montage? Yes, it is. In fact it's an extremely well-crafted one. But it's only mimicry at its most obsequious. And Malcolm Gladwell is still just another 'TED Talk' lookin'-ass wrongheaded hack thinker whose lazy assumptions have been repeatedly discredited by better minds in the media. You take care now.

[@gub3630]

This has been the most excited I've been to see a video of yours pop up in my subscription box. I couldn't for the life of me remember this song, other than I loved it when my high school jazz band teacher showed it to us probably 4 or 5 years ago. Huge wave of nostalgia just hit me, great video as always :)

[@craigchapman8220]

I shouldn’t pause this… Yes you should! Incredible observations sir. Thank you. Loved the reaction!

[@Paulfighteronline]

Thank you for this video! Such an amazing song and your commentary is both educated and blissful. Keep it up, David!

[@bobsennick7403]

I just listened to Snarky Puppy for the first time yesterday! Some playlist on Apple. So freaking good.

[@K-R-O-L]

welcome to the rabbit hole

[@Marcus-ym2kg]

I love the way you're emphasizing that this is as much about how the musicians experience making the music as it is about technique and skill. Music still is expression of emotion and these guys show it. Great video, love the way you comment these! ❤️

[@patfagan5645]

Here are a couple of Snarky Puppy pieces you might be interested in if you haven’t already. Michael League wrote kind of a suite of music called SYLVA recorded with the Metropole Orkest. The opening piece, The Curtain, is stunning. Also, Something with Lalah Hathaway from Family Dinner Volume 1. Great arrangement, as always, from SP along with outrageous singing.

[@rachidvanheyningen]

Bro I think you're the only one that caught that dizzy gillespie reference

[@OldishGoalie]

What I really appreciate is you not censoring yourself by holding back cuss words!! Most other reactions I've seen, you can tell when the person is thinking "fuck, man! What am I seeing?" like the rest of us!! 🤣🤣🤣 It's actually refreshing to see honesty... thanks for your potty mouth!! Don't stop!!

[@jfs70ss]

I think what you meant to say about Corey's sole is that 'It's Magical'...!! Magic as of 'Fairy Tales'. Corey Henry's dedication to his craft shows here in so many different ways. He's a Musical Genius and a Prodigy no doubt.

[@user-ov5nd1fb7s]

The keyboard solo was awesome. I find myself hearing a lot of Chick Corea influences in that solo. Harmonic, rhythmic and sound wise.

[@Mikebumpful]

Have you seen the clip of Corey shredding on the Hammond organ at a church gathering at 4 yo? He's one magic boi indeed!

[@larseikind666]

The horns are deliciously behind on the first section. And they droop more and more behind as the song progresses. BUT they (2 saxophones and 2 trumpets) are in ABSOLUTE unison. This is the best horn section in the history of (contemporary) jazz.

[@SergeantFunkDan]

Thanks for doing this review, knowing you had intimate knowledge of the band, song and now-legendary solo. Your reviews - better than most, because of your musical acumen. But it's the comments about how a soul connects (even prayerfully) to all the years of technical training - that are seldom put into words so well. Much appreciated.

[@berkdoan]

Aaaah it's new! Finally you made a reaction to this! Looking forward!

[@vonzox]

This is the best Lingus reaction hands down. Both technically and emotion "wise" Great stuff.💜

[@bactiarl.toruan4765]

Best reaction and explanation about music so far. Big thnks sir!

[@JoshuaHenryOfficial]

really enjoyed this!!

[@oh-mattias]

congrats on 100k dude thats killing

[@FLmetalhead]

Oh ya this will be good.

[@deroly73]

The wah-wah guitar you mention in the beginning of the song is actually a Moog sound played by either Cory Henry or Shaun Martin 😉

[@Mulavi]

Got a greater appreciation for this performance through your appreciation of it. Thanks.

[@LynneConnolly]

This is, as they say, another level. I mean, it really is. Thanks for your commentary!

[@zatoichiMiyamoto]

Can i get some amnesia and hear this for the first time again?

[@MusicShed]

Totally. Fentanyl?

[@BongoBaggins]

I disagree with a lot of these comments. If you want to listen to the song, go and find the original video. If you want to watch someone listening to a song all the way through, sit on a bus. Watching someone listen to a song and then 'reacting' isn't a reaction video, it's a review. I like to watch someone's REACTION to each part as it happens, and their thoughts on those parts, as they happen. They can't do this without stopping the video. It comes with the territory.

[@patfagan5645]

He did gospel in church as a young kid.

[@MusicShed]

Not surprising

[@fabienclaveau9098]

The latest from Snarky Puppy, Trinity (Extended version) is on YT. It'll be part of their new album released in September. It's incredible!

[@thegeigs1]

you should check out “Lee” by cory wong. it’s absolutely sick

[@PadeMoro]

YES! The entire album is super awesome, but "Lee" is really something else!

[@RoverT65536]

You would appreciate Tim Minchin - Dark Side (awesome version).

[@brianrawlins5401]

If you wanna stick with the instrumental/no vocals, you gotta check out Jason Richardson and Luke Holland's new track Upside down (also features Tim Henson). Absolutely insane funky guitar and drumwork. Their musicianship is on a whole other level

[@monimoni305]

This is past musicianship, this is artistry. This is pure and full of heart

[@Abaddon231]

I love that this song is blowing up again ..

[@daggers9123]

Don't listen to the haters man honestly people just love to chip their opinion in. I love your take on songs and playing along and generally just enjoying what you're doing. Fuck the haters

[@MusicShed]

I love the haters too

[@Joe-zk7ps]

I love that Mike makes a mistake, shakes his head, makes a Bootsy recovery and pushes them to swing all in a few bars.

[@thage7729]

I have another band to check out: Dirty Loops. I recommend “Work Shit Out” … or my newest favorite, their cover of “Thriller” done with the Cory Wong band (double-belled euphonium)

[@Chris-ko7ov]

Saw them live and holy sh.. they are amazing. You should check The Mars Volta out, they are truly unique

[@Byron_Hill]

Please react to their new song Trinity!!! It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kwaspo]

We need a 5 by for Snarky, they are so damn fun

[@ryanphelan6861]

Cory has a great video of him and chic with whom he had a great relationship before his passing, doing an exercise where one gets up from bench and other slides in so quick if you just listen it sounds like one players music:) until they end up side by side for end. Cory amongst all his prodigious talents at childhood followed through with ambition and developed that gift uniquely as you say you hear his voice his though without restriction restraint as you said on that Keith Jarret, Mccoy, Oscar, Chic level of channeling their emotions. He has plenty of pieces where he gets emotional coming from gospel background lot like Keith for me, or Mccoy with Johns quartet when elvin and jim were on fire too those old recordings are like church for me. Keith solo shows too :) Its never not a joy to hear this so swingin' as you say. So much fun. Larnell is another just gift to music world. Cheers...btw he has a tribute to Melvin Crispell that is full of as much feel as honestly Ray charles like soul and feel unicorn level musicianship you would love it if you have not heard. just Hammond and steady percussion. Brilliant stuff

[@patfagan5645]

They record their live concerts and they are available. The next day usually. The most interesting thing is you will hear the same pieces, and they are never the same.

I know this is kind of out of the blue, but you should definitely react to “Euphoria” By Jungkook live at Wembley Stadium. Jungkook is one of the 7 members of BTS, which I think you should check out in their own right, they all have unbelievable voices. But Jungkook is their main vocalist, and is currently regarded as one of the best male singers in the world. His range and control are beyond phenomenal! If you do want to react to BTS, I recommend Save Me, Blood Sweat and Tears, Dynamite, and DNA. Love your content ❤️

[@brbdoo]

Reaction videos that don't stop to add perspective are pretty feckless if we're being honest. Why make the video if you're not going to add anything? At that point you'd be stealing content and just putting your face next to it. I enjoyed the honesty of your take and if people don't want stops, they can just watch the original first. AND you did it in the most logical way - each of your pauses were right before being introduced to a new musical movement, reflecting on the ideas presented in the one that just ended, with only a couple exceptions. People have their preferences, but I, at least, thought it was great. New to the channel as well.
