Cory Henry & Nick Semrad - Full Jam session at NAMM 2016

Full jam session featuring Cory Henry and Nick Semrad at the Nord Booth, NAMM 2016! #iseenord

[@scottyweb5864]

The smile on Cory’s face in hearing the chord Nick played was priceless. Anyone that understands music HAS to love this.

[@johndoe-nh9sh]

Absolutely, just watching them feed off each other.

[@George-rb6bv]

priceless! I know exactly what you mean...that's the love and beauty of music, and when you are playing n sync with a fellow musician it's heaven on earth. These two guys were in each other's soul, and it transcended age, height, weight, colour, ethnicity, culture, etc., and united in the beautiful gift and universal language of music. The only thing that mattered to those two boys was the magical, precious, lucky, prized moment that they were so lucky to share together. Those are those rare moments in life when fate deals one the perfect hand of cards, a rare gift from an almighty power, that for a brief moment in time creates a perfect universe, and does away with anger, hate, envy, and instead fills each others spirit with perfect peace, friendship, happiness and love. That kinda shit cannot be found - only appreciated on the deepest level of ones existential being, a language of shared musical love that cannot be taught and learned, bought or sold,, but rather experienced and soaked up by all that is good within the deepest recesses of the human spirit and soul of our collective human experience, a rare and fleeting state of nirvana, a blessed gift from the gods to be savoured and appreciated for all time! Long live music, friendship, love, peace and happiness and the brotherhood of humankind!

[@reginaldlacoste1035]

The only thing that bothers me about this video is that Cory's hat is to small and Nick's is too big.

[@elliotbjorksdottir2878]

Reginald Lacoste LOL 🙈

[@Littopastor]

Hahahahah...gross...how could you see that amidst all that music? Now I can't hear the music, am looking at the hats. You're a bad person Lacoste.

I love the body language between them. The nods, stank faces, bouncing together, smiles...was all part of a pure jam session 🎹🎶🔥

[@abs117a]

Yep, jam gestures....loved it!

[@djlarrysouldtd]

It's called pure joy

[@RMoribayashi]

A love the look on the little bald dude who walks in at 2:10. He looks like he's had a rough day of wheeling and dealing but the smile on his face and the way he very slightly sways and nods speaks volumes. To me it says; "Thanks guys for reminding me why I got into this business."

[@andrewwatts9385]

Was not just me then,,that guy made my day bless him

[@richardhedderly]

@@andrewwatts9385 Indeed, you can just see him feel the music right there, in his face, in his stance.

[@stealthshot28]

It's nice little story you made there and I'd like to believe that was the case but I really think you're lookin way too far into this guy lol

[@DaRealNaga]

LMAO

[@drumtravelfun]

Nick is no joke. He's playing with Cory for a reason. Love the chemistry between them.

[@gabriel67946]

+Ivan yea that's true. but Cory is better in ways also. you need to know that every musician has there own gifts in the styles of music they learn that makes them stand out from each you just personally prefer Nick apparently. I love them both tbh

[@NickLandess]

... you do know that that is a figure of speech, right? " is no joke"

[@swifftouch]

+Ivan the only joke here is you. Nick was putting his all in. Cory was toying around. Cory would run circles around Nick.

[@NickLandess]

I think you're kind of missing the point here. Cory is having a blast in this video. That's all that really counts. at a certain point, worrying about who is "better than" who is kinda silly.

[@beloved3244]

LISTEN - ANYONE WHO STARTS A SONG IS OBVIOUSLY LEADING! LOL YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LEADERS LEAD BUT LETS NOT BE CONFUSED HERE...THERES NOTHING..AND I MEAN NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT Nick Semrad PLAYING HERE. AT BEST ITS INTERMEDIATE... I THINK Nick Semrad IS A GREAT MUSICIAN BUT HES NO CORY HENRY AT ALL ON ANY LEVEL

[@RoySFord]

"I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" - Reverend Dr. James Cleveland -- This song always reminds me of my early days as a young child going to church with my grandmother.

[@haroldfethe3601]

You were lucky to get that experience when you were "imprinting age". Now you can always carry it with you.

[@momohkakulatombo-misoi126]

That’s right!! I love Mariah Carey’s rendition. Thank you for the correct song reference. I was thinking it was a mashup of somewhere over the rainbow and something about the name Jesus.

[@crystaledwards7146]

Yesssss ❤❤🙌🏽🙌🏽❤❤

[@sbstn451]

It's impressive how he can be a thousand percent more creative in improvising than most pianists alone while searching for the right settings.

[@komentattor]

He's not searching. On organ it's part of technique to alter the sound intentionally multiple times. And this guy plays organ since he was 3 or sth around that.

[@dalbertonyebuchi]

...i just feel like weeping. there is something about this playing that screams: "this is how happy we can all be if only we can let go of all the hurts and embrace oneness!"

[@_sonicfive]

Oneness? I think you can achieve more if we sit down and actually practice.

[@dalbertonyebuchi]

@@_sonicfive we can practice unity. 🙂

[@dartme18]

@@_sonicfive Yes, oneness. Think oneness. 10,000 hours of practice and oneness.

[@cicholasnage]

man, right on the spot. There's just something so warm and positive seeing people just have fun with each other, devoid of the ugliness of the world. If only people could let go of their ego to just try and connect with each other, life's too short to be dealing with conflicts

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

I love Cory, not only because of his brilliance on the keyboard but because his overall life and belief and what he does as a person in his personal life. Diamond geezer!

[@BeFaithful00]

This session drives home the importance of being wise about guarding what you listen to. Music does something to your soul; something very real. This right here is a go to if you’re having a crappy day. You can’t help but be encouraged when you listen to this. Two talented dudes just letting it flow and enjoying themselves.

[@apollolanding1972]

Cory's left hand instinctively reaching for the non-existent Leslie controls... Amazing muscle memory. Great jam gents!

[@apollolanding1972]

just Googled it and I think you're right. There's a half moon switch attached on a photo of the organ+pedal board combo. I couldn't see it in the video.

[@musicman_cmack]

There is. a Leslie 1/2 Moon there.

that was the "white boy got chops!" face lol

[@metashrew]

2:04 I love this part. Cory's is just playing some lines while looking for a way to fix the sound. Eventually you can see him think: _"well, I can't find anything. So I guess I'll just play some sick basslines"_

Both guys - like many talented musicians - grew up on music in the church. That's where they got both the opportunity and the encouragement to experiment, play with other musicians, and develop their chops, all while glorifying God with the gifts He gave them.

Take time to understand what you are seeing my comrades. Two people, one black and one white, who speak the same language. NOT from their mouths mind you, but from their SOULS. Two men who may not know one another but who can become bonded through their hearts (the passion from the musical well that they both draw expression and partake of), and ears as they take the time necessary to hear one another speak through their keyboards. They coexist in step and harmony, just as the black and white keys do on the keyboards they play. So why can't we all, people of planet earth, take the time necessary to hear one another and understand that we all want the same basic things, and that SHOULD be to live in peace and harmony with mother earth and each other? My God, that would be a wonderful place to live. :)
