Jazz Fusion lovers: SNARKY PUPPY will change your life. 16 pce extraordinary band
Like apparently most of the rest of the Fusion loving world, I had neither heard nor heard of Snarky Puppy before Good Friday less than 2 weeks ago. And yet they have been around for 15 years.
And now I need some sleep....
They. Are. Extraordinary!
Every musician is superb, as is the writing and arranging. They've released about a dozen albums since 2006, and one of them was recorded live in studio in Amsterdam in 2014. "We Like It Here".
The very small audience is all wirelessed up with Audio Technica Bluetooth headphones, and the band is distributed amongst them in the room.
The performances are astonishing! Cory Henry's keyboard solo on the last track "Lingus" is the best I've ever seen or heard. What is killer about it is that he ends up "doubling" his right hand with his left, meaning he is playiong the same thing with both hands on two different keyboards, one set above the other. Shaun Martin (another great keyboard player) is watching in disbelief – ends up just laughing and walking away.
Larnell Lewis on drums....he had to learn the songs on a 7 hour flight....and play them that night, unrehearsed.
I can't commend this vid to you enough: brilliantly HD videoed, brilliant setting, and superb performances of excellent music. Summink else you want?
There are 8 songs in that 54 minute vid, but if you want to cut to the two absolute rippers then go to 38 minutes or so (Tio Macaco, and Lingus). If you like those I'm pretty damn sure you'll go back and watch the whole thing.....several times.

took some getting used too it wa so different, but yes I'll be listening to more of them..
thinking afterwards, for those who were around mid 70's there was a group Osibisa, were a Ghanaian-English Afro rock band, founded in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians. Their music is a fusion of African, Caribbean, jazz, funk, rock, Latin, R&B and highlife.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
