Cory Wong X Dirty Loops collab album (several vids inside)

[GregC]

Fun stuff. I'm a big Cory fan but I wasn't familiar with Dirty Loops' music. I think this music strikes a nice balance between Cory's groovy style and horn section, and DL's technical chops.

I am a big fan of both acts so I was pretty excited for this one. It is a great album. I've been waiting for them to get it on Cory's store so I can buy it already. The album is already out for digital streaming but I'd like for them to actually get paid for their work.

I'm looking forward to checking out these tunes, because I'd seen/heard the "Thriller" track and kept wondering "who is this Cory Wong guy and why is he getting top billing when he sounds like he's either out of his element/barely hanging on for dear life, or at least trying to stay out of everyone else's way (not that that's a bad thing)?"

I've subsequently learned that Cory's from Vulfpeck so I guess I understand the "top billing" part better, but I'd still like to hear something where he's actually making a substantive contribution to the tune...which admittedly can be hard when you've got a trio of badasses like Dirty Loops plus a whole horn section.

Thanks for posting all the examples.


[edit: Okay, that first tune "Turbo" has redeemed Cory in my eyes. He's definitely in the driver's seat, tearing that sucker up! Great track.]

Cory's great because he's a wonderful rhythm player who occasionally rips it up,. and he can lay back and be pretty subtle when it's called for. All of this makes him a great fit for Vulfpeck. Check out his solo work to see him dominate more--his solo stuff is gaining more attention.

His colab with Dave Koz is amazing as well. Dude has wide ranging talent.

I don't know why Jonah Nilsson has recorded a new track without the regular, Dirty Loops bass player, Henrik Linder, but the bass player on the following track, Tobias Grenholm is superb.



What's more, I found on the Internet a transcription of that bass line, by Neil Newsome.
