Cory Wong & Friends // pop-up gig in Brooklyn, NY 

Even after the release of the studio version, I keep coming back to this. There's something very special about this version of Brooklyn Bop. Love the way Jordan Rose plays the intro groove.

How is Louis Cato literally a master at every instrument. It’s insane!

Can we expect Brooklyn Bop on an upcoming record? That's a jaaaaaam.

That sax solo on Gumshü, holy...

That sax solo starting off at 2:53 like a 30s classic jazz tune and turning into progressive frenzy at 4:45 is gold 😁😁

I was there!!!

Right at 11 minutes in all I could think is, as good as Corey is at the rhythm stuff, every time he breaks out an actual lead solo all I can think is, damn, why doesn't he do that more often?

Can't stop myself from listening to Brooklyn Bop all the time. I hope it's on your next album!

It’s great to see the musicians having so much fun together. The joy of excellent performance - smiles all around. And what a band when you can get away with hiding Jordan Rose, Louis Cato, and Negah Santos way in the back!

That fucking Barbash sax solo in the first tune…he really speaks through his saxophone. Like, the human voice - through speaking, whispering, yelling, singing in this style or that style - the human voice has such a wide range of expression, and it’s often second nature, because we communicate/talk without needing to think. Eddie has a similar range of expression and total ease in his playing. It’s awesome.

Was here at this gig. Can confirm the groove was tight.

Cory Wong and Brandon "Taz" toguether!!! OMG!!!😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩

"Gumshü" is the biggest reason I need to see you in concert. What a groove.

Bruh the groove just oozes from Jordans playing. Such a baller.

Brandon's guitar solo starting from 25:00 was smokin!!!! Great energy!

Cory has some really great friends !

So many great solos!!! 2:53 Eddie (alto sax) 10:08 Cory (guitar) 24:50 Brandon (guitar) 28:31 Eric (organ) 31:58 Sam (tenor sax) 33:56 Louis (bass)

Watching a music scene as fervent as the american funk/jazz one from Italy is very uplifting even if we’re thousands of km apart. Keep gracing us with things like this! I’ll continue to support for what I can

How can you write a so nice tune like Brooklyn Bop just during the soundcheck !!!? So amazing !! And i can't stop making the chicken with my head listning Smooth Move...

Relistening to brooklyn bop regularly

“Brooklyn Bop” needs to be recorded!! You guys nailed it here but it became a favourite of mine over at Martin Guitar’s road jam. Very good job guys

Love your band Corey! I found you via Dave Koz. I play harmonica, 46th year and was full-time pro by age 20. Left performing publicly to work in non-profit work (did not need amps for that period and just played on my own) many years. Then had a Swing Dance, Jazz, R&B, Funk, Blues band for 10 years in Oregon. Rhythm section, female vocalist and myself with 1 or 2 horns so we could play swing/jazz arrangements with our little "section". I have adapted a bunch of Dave Koz tunes (like Saxman) over to harmonica and so keep up with what he's doing. I was in Austin 6 years, many gigs & sessions with various bands and now returned to San Diego. Again, really appreciate your style....and a great crew of players too!

24:50, what a pocket, what a tone

Brooklyn Bop is really challenging Meditation for my fave live track

Um salve pra Nêgah Santos brasileira que quebra tudo na percussão dessa banda incrível!

So this blew me away! I laugh, I cry with happiness! This is nirvana. Thanks !

I knew it was coming but I still cracked up at the "it wasn't me" Great performance all around can't wait to see something like it live

I'm a drummer and man, what would I give to one play something with Negah... just such a great feel.

jordan rose bringing some heat at the home game

Cory at 16:00: CATO ! Cato: Oh yeah ? Look at that, not even waiting for the one. He was so ready

This whole band was killing it. Great show

From a musician to another musician from the other side of the ocean, you have a gift, you bring joy with your music. Congrats

Tastiest, most criminally underrated and original player in the game!

New vibes meet old vibes meets blues meets funk meets old school jazz meets new school jazz meets (fill in the blank). Killer. Just flat out killer!

Brandon's solo on smooth move was too 🔥🔥🔥

So good! Everyone killed it, but keep going back to that Cato solo in Brooklyn Bop. Can't wait to hear where you guys take that track for an album.

I was there! What an incredible show. Such a great group of musicians, but the highlight for me might have been Taz's solo on Smooth Move melting my face off. Jaw on the floor.

Oh man ,the first solo sax was INSANE!!! The whole band is amazing good!

This guy always opens the bag with something new and surprising. Great support musicians as well. Best all round, feel good band I have heard for many, many years. Guaranteed to lift the spirits.

Brooklyn Bop! Wow!! I need to do a cover of that. Nice jam and chord progression.

YES! Just got into the Wong business and i love this one...happy i get to see it live

Shiiii, that guitar at 10:10 is on fire ! Big up from Paris France.

OMG the alto sax solo in the first song made my eyes water

All of you play so effortlessly. I could not tear myself off.

That was on a whole different level.

Dude Eddie Barbash played a perfect saxophone solo. What on earth?! Everything but the kitchen sink in that solo are the beginning!

That Brooklyn song could just go on forever.

Your music is so good, please more vids, it brings a great funcky joy Thanks and cheers from France

My god this is mixed so insanely well

I love you so much more for having a horn section!

This sax section is to die for.

Oh man I hope Brooklyn Bop ends up getting recorded for an album, it really is quite the bop! Amazing musicianship from Cory and everyone involved as always! Also that slap guitar was FONKY

Niiiiice! Missed it live but so stoked to watch it now.

I love seeing Cory showcasing the younger generation. Please bring Brandon "Taz" Niederauer to your show in Denver Cory!
