[@nathankil1745]

Thank you for releasing this, Eric and Spectrasonics. Shaun will be sorely missed.

[@JRCOWBOY78]

Such an awesome Testament to how creative this man was. R.I.P my brother 🙏🏼💯

[@Fateline70]

Thank you. 😢

[@salsanjazz4388]

Great player. Thanks for sharing.

[@jasminedwyer4323]

SORELY 💔💔💔

[@trevavaughn5]

💔

[@modxmike7608]

I learned how to play “Just the Two of Us” and “Just The Way You Are” watching his clip. And yes, I purchased Keyscape in late 2021! R.I.P. Shaun Martin 🙏🏾💯

[@MK-so2iz]

I also learned just the way you are from Shaun and had get Keyscape because of it. a true inspiration in every sense x

[@Kay-vb3li]

Same!!!!

[@alyssablack3025]

Same, those were some of best covers I ever heard had to learn it

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Man I didn't know how beautiful “Just The Way You Are” was until I heard Shuan's version. What a loss, what a gift

[@udonoden]

im also!

[@daviddigirolamo3310]

10 fingers with the capacity to translate every note he played to "I love you, my brothers and sisters". Shaun, thank you for doing your part in giving this world something it sadly lacks and desperately needs more of.

[@josueshinja8792]

Go in peace legendary Shaun Martin

[@brenttauromusic]

This is such treasure! Thank you, Spectrasonics. May his legacy continue to live on through his incredible music. 🕊

[@kinggimped]

Thank you for releasing this video. A fitting tribute to an incredible talent. RIP to an amazing musician and amazing person. I've been playing The Yellow Jacket pretty much on loop on my morning commutes this week. So, I figured I'd quickly share a minor audience moment with Shaun when I saw Snarky Puppy at a jazz festival in Shanghai, China... my girlfriend, friend and I'd managed to snag a spot right at the front after Tommy Emmanuel had finished the previous set and the crowd had dispersed a little (great guest list that year!). Snarky Puppy were setting up, and Shaun was standing behind the keys scanning the crowd, and I happened to catch his eye. I immediately pointed at him and mouthed "you're awesome" to him. He did a double take from across the stage and after a beat he just pointed right back at me and mouthed "YOU'RE awesome". We both laughed, and that was it. They played an amazing set. It was such a silly, fleeting moment, and obviously I can't claim to have known him. But sharing that short, joyful moment with a musician I adored meant a lot to me. Anyway, yeah. RIP Shaun.

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Yep…that’s Shaun! Thank you for sharing that story!❤

[@romualdolinsvitoriano6608]

❤

[@lvnmykinks]

Thanks for sharing. That has been his personality since he was a kid playing the piano. He's my brother and I miss him tremendously 💔 I love these clips.

[@kinggimped]

@@lvnmykinks You're his sister? I'm so sorry for your loss. Or should I say, our loss. Shaun was amazing and clearly meant so much to a lot of people. We were not ready to say goodbye. Wishing you and your family all the very best.

[@lvnmykinks]

@@kinggimped Thank you. Neither were we. 💔

[@mr3n10]

The last time I saw Shaun we were laughing about being dad's and talking about where did the time go? I told him that I was proud of him and he represents us everywhere he goes. He told me how Donald Fagen is a great storyteller and I told him that I was jealous that he saw Mark King play bass live...😂 He said he was gonna take some time off to be with his family and said that we would link with RC to catch up soon... From our years on Five Mile and Pentagon Parkway till that last dap at the Fair and EVERYTHING in between, we had fun🙏🙏🙏 My prayers are with every person that my friend's life touched... Wear your crown Bro❤

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

My condolences to you brother 🙏

[@SylenceJohnson]

Every note Brother Shaun played was like a touch from the heavenly VIP music choir-a gift from the Most High. It’s really sad, but I guess God needed you more back in heaven. Amen.

[@nymbusDeveloper86]

Agree, an amazing musician. God rest him in peace.

[@SolarizedWasTaken]

amen brother

[@trevavaughn5]

Deep

[@kevinnathanson6876]

The sheer joy transcends the amazing talent. So glad that we were blessed, even if the time was oh so short. My sympathies to all who feel the loss of this wonderful man.

[@jasongarey8329]

Shaun was a man of few words, but he spoke volumes with the keys.

[@joshgill3189]

Truly phenomenal musician.

[@klaarover10]

what a loss! The song The Yellow Jacket is a frequently played song in our family. We will remember Shaun as a creative and great musician.

[@blackqueen67]

That's one of my favorites from the 7Summers CD.....

[@SimonBrisbane]

Yellow jacket ❤

[@grubbylittlegoblin]

Rest in peace to the legend Shaun Martin. My heart hurts - did not know he was ill. He left a massive impact on this world.

[@sweetfishmusic5346]

I'm an everyday Keyscape user. Thank you so much for releasing this video! Not only honoring Shaun's legacy, but it reminded me that Keyscape has so many great sounds, and sounds even better when somebody like Shaun uses...

[@sergioenriqueblancofernand70]

I remember randomly writing him on Instagram and he responding in such a wholesome way, treating me as someone so close. I wonder how many people he touched with grace. What a video for crying and somehow keep laughing at the same time. Shaun is definitely one life model to follow. Rest in Power Champion!

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

I hear you

[@D4rKDr34M]

Shaun will never die, he left an anourmous and a endless legade. May God bless you. Forever.

[@birdjacobs]

Shaun Martin's uprighteous video was the reason why I bought Keyscape. He was such a joy to listen to. Powerful musical life this man had, rest in peace

[@nymbusDeveloper86]

Same here

[@pulguinha1303]

Same

[@nuelmuzik]

Rest In Peace Shaun Martin❤🕊️

[@lupash]

This is such a valuable document. Incredible player and musician, a tragic loss for music as a whole. Spectrasonics prove once more to be the best around, not only because the best musicians chose it, but because they chose the best musicians. From Domi to Jacob Collier, to Glasper, Cory Henry, Greg, Herbie, Jesus, Anomalie and so forth. And today we're here remembering one all time best and we can witness him enjoying his musical self and having fun. We'll miss him.

[@sacrificesoldier]

I can't tell you how many times I come back to your videos of Shaun playing. What a big loss for the music community. What a beautiful soul. RIP Shaun, and thank you for sharing this video 🙏

[@SHADOWFOX1464]

Man God I’m going to miss him but he hit me with something at 6:30 with that MKS-20 that’s “He’s Worthy” by Jonathan Greer. It was like he was speaking and said no matter what, remember where I came from. The anointing was so powerful, and yes talent was in him but his humility and his anointing and that smile made you love him so much more. What an amazing life to live. Graduation to heaven. There’s nothing greater than life to eternal life. See you again Shaun ❤️

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Amen ❤🙏

[@kennethbryantii8053]

AMEN BROTHER! Indeed he was not only gifted and talented, the man was ANOINTED and gave us so many great musical moments to sing and worship to. He IS and will be missed!

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

AMEN 🙏......FACT 🙏

[@TonyThomas10000]

Life is a vapor. Every day is a gift!

[@ErnestoComposer]

I met Shaun only once in college, but his infectious energy and passion stayed with me ever since, I'm so sad he's gone

[@kbpaulh]

Shaun Martin inspired me a lot as a keys player. Rest in power. We taiwanese musicians love your music and we think the people on the other side will love it too.

[@SpiralJucifer]

I returned again and again to hear and witness Shaun's playing and the soul he put into the Keyscape Rhodes session. That performance is legendary. That alone made me wish for a whole album of him playing not just covers, but I wanted to hear what else he'd do. I'm saddened by his loss and I truly hope there is an ever better place for us when we go.

[@abeayo4478]

When he was playing the peaceful improve, I almost cried. God Bless his Soul!!

[@elemkay5104]

Had honestly never heard of him until this video was recommended. Immediately understood what sort of a musician and person he was, and why he will be sorely missed.

[@paulwilson4594]

Thank y'all for Honoring Him and Treating us! He was one of the warmest and most supportive Cats. No Question one of THEE Coldest

[@evan_ack]

I met shaun in virginia after a snarky puppy concert, and he was so nice and genuine. He's the one who's really got me into synths, i chatted with him a few times on twitter about the lil phatty synths. Thank you for every thing Shaun.

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

I hear you brother.

[@dy1N-e1l]

The legend. R.I.P. Shaun Martin.

[@henryigugu7027]

I still listen to that snippet of him playing "Just the Two of Us" all the time!! He will live on in the music he has shared with us.

[@thage7729]

I still remember the first time I saw “Quartermaster”; “…and Shaun Martin on the piano… literally … On. The. Piano.” A memory I’ll always hold dear. R.I.P. Mr. Martin.

[@brianburman6580]

Heaven just got a little brighter and everyone there has a bigger smile on their face. Play on Shaun!

[@bensmiling]

I’m in shock - I didn’t realise he’d passed until I saw this. His original vids with you brought him into my life. I have those videos on playlists for the pure joy of them and him. It led me to his solo and collective works. Rest in peace, Shaun. You were loved, near and far.

[@_boof]

You guys have a good culture at spectrasonics. RIP Shaun.

[@Abaddon231]

That worship improv had me damn near tearing up. Pure beauty

[@mallygeedkm]

Because of videos like this it feels like he’s still with us. Man this hurts 😢 but glad to still have these remnants of his work and personality available to view

[@jimkost2002]

One of the greatest and pure soulfulness! RIP Shaun🙏🏽😥

[@V1rowt8]

Nice tribute. Very sad. He was so young. RIP Shaun Martin.

[@joshjamesuk]

What he played at 17:25 is just absolutely beautiful. Made me cry instantly. Miss you so much Shaun. You brought me so much joy with your music. Love you man.

[@dannewton5854]

I just learned of Shaun's passing by seeing this in my feed. Thank you for this! I'm crushed by this loss. I've been a fan of Shaun's music/playing in Snarky and truly loved his energy he would bring to a live performance. (Saw Snarky at least 5 times). He will be missed. Now he's playing for angels and making them get funky. RIP Shaun.

[@1896Dune]

I've been on a Shaun Martin KZbin rabbit hole. Well done a great tribute to a guy that hand his hands in many musical pots.

[@YoSpier]

Thanks for sharing your time with Shaun. His laugh and playing is unforgettable. Rest easy Shaun

[@FastGuy5]

Real tears right now listening 😪

[@francesconegri95]

His way of playing was so unique, he really shines in this piano solo recording

[@bnjmnwst]

11:06 Wow. Beautiful. He played his own tribute there.

[@sabasavila]

Which song was he playing?

[@bnjmnwst]

@@sabasavila I don't know. I thought he was freestyling. If it's a song, I don't know it.

[@moonootoo]

This part made me emotional

[@THEoneandonlystika]

Bb sounds amazing

[@try2tri811]

Please can someone transcribe this song, it’s so beautiful

[@auditiononly]

Thank you Eric with the best laugh and Spectrasonics for releasing. Loved and continue to love the works of Shaun. Too soon, too sad…

[@percyvolnar8010]

Eric... Man, you are loved for doing this, brother. Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done for the community over the years. And thank you for THIS right here. Shaun will be missed. He was awesome!

[@ComedianCDawg]

Man! This was so good. I recently started listening to Snarky Puppy and paying attention to Shaun Martin. I am sad that I am late to his greatness as a musician. He seems to be a super nice guy with a beautiful soul. He will be missed. RIP, Shaun Martin.

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

THANK YOU for posting this. One of the BEST musicians and musical presentations I've seen. I learned of Mr Martin on a tutorial of him playing a Kirk Franklin song. I was DEFINITELY impressed with him. Wish I had the privilege of meeting him. He strikes me as a down to earth brother. DEFINITELY a shocker when I heard of his passing. Wish I could have met him. Thank you again for the presentation 🙏. Blessings 🙌

[@leonelrosado1142]

I had the opportunity to see him play in Lisbon with Snarky Puppy and I will never forget his joy, hapiness and connection with the audience.. A musician with a great soul. RIP Shaun and thanks for your music.

[@intomissy]

I'd totally forgotten about the song, "he's worthy!" I loved it years ago and hadn't thought about it until this. ❤

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

FACT. Thought the same thing. 😢

[@timringgenberg2844]

I am so going to miss music but even more his spirit. Just a fantastic person who always loved what he was doing. RIP Shaun.

[@shodapad07]

Exactly. His sweet Spirit ❤

[@channeloram]

What a huge loss for the world. Rest in peace Shaun. Condolences to his family and loved ones

[@okay1904]

Shaun God be with you - you were always a blessing. Spectrasonics - thanks for this.

[@OrganicGreens]

RIP Shaun Martin. A part of him will always live on threw his musical inspiration in all of us keyboard players. I immediately downloaded this so I can rip it and put it on my phone and in my car. As I did with the first edit. His playing has been an inspiration to me for years now.

[@frederickweeksjr.1189]

FACT

[@MrSlimfinger]

Shaun seemed like a wonderful human being and his contribution to the world of music is significant. What a nice gesture of you to release this video. Made me tear up as soon as I saw the title.

[@AnthonyMorelli]

Thank you. Heartbroken but grateful to have this full session out there in the universe.

[@ThieuNguyen-kh5uo]

Truly sad. My youngest idol. Purchased and love the sounds since he performed back then. Thanks for the capture of the moment and his session. RIP Shaun Martin.

[@BartMassee]

the spectrasonics recording of Shaun was special and I must have played it a hundred times over. What a talent, may you rest in Peace, Shaun Martin

[@BartMassee]

same. hundreds of times❤peace

[@vladinosky]

Oh God! That news broke my heart right after waking up... Shaun Martin was actually was one of my favourite jazz musicians I discovered through Spectrasonics! I actually learned The Yellow Jacket song on the piano from him. Him and his contagious joy will be sorely missed indeed! R.I.P Shaun.

[@huskydigital]

What a gift to us, to hear this incredible musician, but to also see his joy in playing the music! Thanks Eric for sharing this!!

[@ianmeli3294]

I owe all of my musicianship to Sean. He showed me so much of my own heart while sharing his own. Miss you Sean! Love eternal.

[@johnsampan]

Rest in Power!

[@radiancemovie]

Thanks, Eric and team for editing the video and releasing it. Like everything Spectrasonics does, top notch. As others have said, Shaun was a gift to us all and now we have one more piece of his legacy.

[@johnsuggs7828]

Just found this out last night. What an absolute mega loss.

[@martinrockport2485]

[@reneceballos5211]

Thank you for letting us have this. It's comforting to hear Shaun living forever. Physical life is a breeze but it doesn't really matter.

[@kmgtv7572]

Thank you for posting. Shaun Martin was, is still an effortless inspiration. We've lost so many legends in the last few years George Duke, Chick Corea, even a decade ago Joe Sample. Shaun Martin was part of that next generation that softened the blow. But to lose Shaun Martin so soon, it's too soon. Thank you for posting and let's make some music in honor of Shaun Martin. @DavidKamatoy

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Couldn't agree more!

[@thebreathalyzer]

Thank you so much for sharing this extended video. What a beautiful musician, Shaun was a force of nature. His touch on the keyboard was just amazing. And his heart.

[@jeremygoodman1]

Shaun was an incredible gift to us all. He will be missed. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@okolekahuna3862]

Still in shock of his passing. May Shaun rest in peace and may the grace of god cover his family with comfort. That little piece he did at 10:44 is beautiful.
