  • As a lover of jazz funk, I couldn't resist taking a look In this at Cory Henry's amazing solo on "Lingus" by Snarky Puppy. I look at how the solo is constructed and how Henry deals with harmony and rhythm throughout the solo. I also cover some of the jazz techniques he uses, from 'locked hands' and block chord techniques to quartal harmony, phrygian dominant scales, and bebop major scales.

    One more thing to add to this solo analysis - harmonically, melodically and timbrally I always felt it's influenced by the choices Chick Corea would make, especially in the tune Song to the Pharoah Kings. Snarky Puppy is basically millennial Return to Forever with more horns.
    Great video!

      Couldn't agree more about Chick Corea's influence on this. I think there's some influence from Chick's comping while Scott Henderson solos on Silver Temple (Chick Corea Elektrik Band) especially near the end of Cory's solo.

      This guy Cory Henry kind of just got out the gate and people already trying to steal his stuff! That's the way it's always been. You music thieves with no real originality, rhythm or talent! Always stealing music from black people. Just like you stole rockin roll, jazz, blues etc. You study, finagle, plot, and copy everything to steal from people you don't want to live next door to or even sit next to on the bus! Just because you want to feel superior! But in reality, black people are the greatest humans to ever walk the earth! Despite the horrific things done to blacks in slavery, and how they are mistreated, criminalized, disinfranchised, purposely miseducated they have excelled and surpassed everything that they have been allowed to participate and compete in! And although blacks are being forced out of urban cities with excuse being gentrification! They are waking up! We near the end of 400 years!

    Thoroughly enjoyed your analysis. I majored in Jazz Theory and Composition, and have transcribed many solos too, and followed them up with the analysis, and you nailed the details.
    a simpler way to break it down is just the standard jazz improvisation technique known as "inside|outside" for the purpose of tension|release
    The E minor/pentatonic/blues material is the inside, so it can start or finish the phrase in a cozy or familiar way that eases the tension
    every other technique is just his way of going outside to create tension, before releasing the tension with another inside scale.
    It almost doesn't matter if the outside is quartal, chromatic, phrygian, diminished or whatever, it's there for tension, so he can just endlessly toy with our emotions by how long he stays outside versus how often he lets us off the rollercoaster to go back inside.
    The structural stuff is there to build energy, and golden mean proportions tell us about 2/3 is where you want to peak, then you descend back to the normal flow and it seems like you performed a magic trick, but its all premeditated at the macro level. His technique is so virtuosic, that he can zoom out, read the crowd, and hype them up, scare them, and then delight them at will with his choices of when to change up the structure.
    Chick Corea does tons of this with Minimoog solos across his career. I do however love this particular solo. My favorite part is how the other keyboardist is both loving it, and dismayed simultaneously in his reactions. I understand and concur.

I remember looking for a bassist called Dil Katz who was in every second band I saw in the 80/90s. Scotts Bass Lessons appereared in my feed, this led to Adam Neely and Rick Beato and then to Michael League and thence to Snarky Puppy. Sometimes the algorithm does GOOD STUFF!

    Another thing I noticed is that the notes DGAB, often replacing D with E, seems to be an important motif that he comes back to frequently. It's in the top voice of the very first thing he plays, and he often plays them at significant places like around the turnaround. He also gives that big excited smile when he plays it at 7:55 in the original. Timestamps below are all referencing the original video.

The structure, the principles and the stacked 3rds and 4ths and where the phrases come from - Peterson, Hancock, Corea - the modal feels, the chromatic movement. Also how he's clearly taken phrases and chunks of harmony and notes he's clearly worked out before and pulls them in to such great effect. Thank you for your analysis.

    David that was EXCELLENT. You took what was obviously very beautiful and artistic and explained it very thoroughly. I am a jazz pianist/private educator/arranger. When I 1st heard that solo it blew me away. I literally just took it for what it was and could barely comprehend anything about it. I only knew in fact that I loved it. I've learned in college that if it sounds good, that there is always hard theory underneath to support the sound. I just didn't have much of a clue until watching your EXCELLENT video. I'm 64 years of age and originally a voice major when I was much younger. Went back to college in my 40's and majored in Jazz piano performance so I'm relatively new. Whenever I'm teaching I always tell my students there are 3 stages to learning a concept, lick, solo, song, progression, etc. 1. I don't know what you're doing and I can't do it. 2. I know what you're doing, but I can't do it. 3. I know what you're doing and I can do it. Thanks to you, I'm now closer to stage 2, whereas though I loved what I was hearing before, I was certainly at stage 1. Thank you. You have a new subscriber and a thumbs up from me for sure. Peace to you.

  • @hnatyshyn

    Really interesting analysis, thanks. One thing though is you missed to incorporate the gospel background of Henry in your analysis, the core of his sense of harmony. This is where a standard jazz approach cannot find proper convenient explanation. All the intro section is a good demonstration of the gospel harmonic thinking. And it is very interesting. Look for "gospel reharm" and "walkups", these musicians can do very amazing things.

    This is one of the great keyboard solos in the history of jazz if you ask me. I can only listen to it every few months - too devastatingly amazing... Fun to hear it "explained" but it does go well beyond a logical dissection:) Love it.

    Dude you crushed that analysis. I've got some synth solos that I don't know WHERE they came from, lol. The best thing for any solo is structure and building energy, not the number of chops and chords. Outside chords only work with good voice leading, like follow a melody or its nonsense. I'm just glad so many people are watching videos about jazz improvisation :)

    Thanks for the shot of Cory playing at 4 years old. Reminded me of Amadeus. I would have to guess his technique has much to do with being a prodigy and playing constantly. Also as you say building into his brain and muscle memory a catalog of what be enjoys and finally having a great ear and friends to play with.
