Snarky Puppy LIVE @ LEAF Spring 2018

After a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, the Texas-bred/New York-based quasi-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for two Grammy awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance 2014 and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016 and 2017), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”
Snarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. They each maintain busy schedules as sidemen (with such artists as Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and D’Angelo), producers (for Kirk Franklin, David Crosby, and Salif Keïta), and solo artists (many of whom are on the band’s indy label, GroundUP Music). At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. Japan, Argentina, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico all have representation in the group’s membership. But more than the cultural diversity of the individual players, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

Merci beaucoup 😉. Ce groupe est fabuleux, il m a donnée envie de réécouter du jazz rock, ce que je n avais fait depuis 30 ans. Longue vie à eux.
I gitta say, Michael league is not only one of the best bass players, but such a good sicial musician, meaning if you watch him when other players solo, he looks at them the whole time with 100 percent focus and absolutely loves what they do. His face is always moving with thier solos and we reacts with such glee and enjoyment. I love that so much. What a great guy.

You know how many of these videos people have said that?! ;) Nearly all.
I used to listen to a lot of the Mahavishnu Orchestra when I was a little kid. That orchestra was the epitome of fusion in my opinion, along with... I forget the name of the band consisting of Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Al DiMiola and (I think) Lenny White. But Snarky Puppy are all that and so much more. And their youth is a huge promise of even greater things to come. In my opinion. I LOVE these... this band/orchestra!!!!

It's hard for me to love another group of young, talented, cohesive musicians more than My Snarky Puppies
These talented humans never cease to amaze me. I am mind blown
Just discovering Snarky Puppy, blown away and hooked. And I thought I was musically informed, how did I not know about these guys...

I love how they slowed it down for What About Me. These guys are TIGHT!!
Yo I was there high as a kite in the front row!!!! The best band I’ve ever seen live!!!! First time seeing them at Leaf festival and snarky puppy was the only reason my dad and I went to the leaf festival. Such a great band
Those basslines are so simple but yet so creative and colourful.They stand so good with all of these things happening.
Snarky Puppy are just too good! These guys are just sooooo in to it!I just love their music for both "brain and booty"!Please please come to Serbia to some of our music festivals....we love you over here...Respect
I can't believe I'm just finding these incredible musicians. Mind expanding. So thoroughly satisfying.
my mind is blowed up.....grooviest vibe I've ever experienced.......reminds me of seeing Frank Zappa 50 year ago......but the orchestra just kept getting better and ore creative and tighter for every single one of those 50 years. Blowed UP.
That guitar solo beginning at 11:20 is the best Ive heard in years, so expressive and emotional. I was almost mimicking Michael League at times during it.

Michael looking like he's gonna drop a crazy lick but just waits, made me laugh so much. 10:18
This really deserves more views and likes.
"Beep box" track is better than studio version. Astonishing.

I don't care what genre you try to put them in, as the music industry loves to do, they are a fantastic group of musicians making great sounds that feed the soul of music lovers like me. Music is a universal language of sound. I must say though, Michael League be killing that bass!
5 Star quality entertainment 😁😁😁
Ayer pude disfrutar del concierto celebrado en Tenerife y son brutalmente excelentes. Enhorabuena para todo el equipo que forman Snarky Puppy
Excellent!
INCREDIBLE...!!!!

They wouldn't show the keyboardist who was laying it down, though. Bad camera work on that one. Michael's face during that said it all, though.
Maybe the best band of all time. How do you collect so many incredible horn players?!?
completely in love with what happens between Michael and Justin at 35:01 !
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😙I Love the last last song.
Божественно!!!
This band's precision and musicianship is pretty much peerless right now.
Listening to this made me say "hallelujah" a few times
Great concert. The lick at 30:24 btw

Cory Henry's band as has already been mentioned, New Mastersounds, Lettuce, Casiopea, The Square, Dimension, and artists like Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock, and David Sanborn all have top bands. I wouldn't say any one is better than the other, they're all great in their own way.
wow!
Gettin' my Snark on !
j'adore c'est trés bon ( :==)))
That fill from JT at 31:35!!!!!
If I'm not mistaken I remember hearing Shaun Martin quote that same line @48:12 in one of his solos in this song some time ago. Crazy how music works lol.

Oh myyyy@ 16:40 on!!!!😎😎😎🤔🤗🤗🤗
Put me on the play list.
There's a very high-pitched feedback of some sort starting at 27:57 ending around 29:10 that's brutal to listen to on headphones, but isn't very noticeable on speakers
Does someone have the theme from Henry's solo at 49:30 ? I love it

He's not coming back, he's doing what he always wanted to do, & both his bands are Blazin! Go support him....
