seeing musicians smiling at each other when they do something cool is one of the most wholesome things on this earth

[antonyvoprez]

"Meditation" has to be one of the greatest songs ever

[Riccardo_Silva]

I can't help but plugging in my bass on the sound card and playing along with you all! Sooo exciting!!!!

[Andrew_M_Ward]

Um... That drummer is an absolute MONSTER time machine.
And it warms my heart to see a room full of young people diggin' the new Quincy jones Orchestra of their generation ( this is a huge development in the right direction)

[SuperBriansmoke]

Sierra Hull absolutely shreds those solos. She is world-class. This was pure joy in miniature format!!

[paulwhetstone]

I love the camera work on this set. It reminds me of when I was a toddler creeping my grandma as she played barrel house gospel piano for her church, The Liberty Street Freewill Baptist Church in Durham, NC circa 1960.

[benthebenj]

Meditation keeps getting better. This is the best version of that tune yet. KG killed it.

[thekittleone]

Jay killed it with that flugelhorn solo!

[surge-tech]

Cory's albums opened my mind up to other genres of music. The whole band inspired me to play my instruments again and experience the joy of being a musician. Happy

[thumbthump]

When guitarists are trying to be more heavy and becoming less musical in the process, along comes Cory Wong and hits it up clean. Doin' it different is always the right flow.

[mandalacrew]

the drum solo on lilypad warmed my heart

[AlexPDudley]

What a great set. Kevin Gastonguay on keys doesn't get enough love. His solo in Meditation gave me chills.

[andre_rubronegro]

Nega Santos is by far the best percussionist out there right now. She’s a beast!

[cowbellthunder]

9:52 This tone is insanely good. Delightfully Scofield-esque voicings too.

[coconutjoel]

Brooklyn bop comes home, happy to be there!

What makes Cory great is that I’d rather WATCH him on YouTube than LISTEN to him on Spotify!

[kenwoodward]

Came back to listen to this again today...lazy monday afternoon!! great mix balance, love the drums, hi-hats and cymbals like feathers, kick & bass... brass, keys, perc....heck it's all good ! lol! great job @Cory !

[billysmith]

Can't believe I'm just discovering this guy. Wow is the only word that comes to mind.

[KaninManeepairoj]

Over the mountain is my favorite composition and performance

[MandKStudios]

I was there in the front row!!! So amazing
