    Michael League is a graduate of the same university where my wife got her masters degree, though she missed him by about 6 years. We are going to be going to a snarky puppy show in October however, because they are playing our hometown and it's a Friday

    How did I miss this? I LOVE this album ( "Shofukan " , is my favorite track by them still ) slowly working through their discovery) . I love how cinematic they are . One of the things I loved about many Miles Davis albums.....

    Snarky Puppy deserves its own label. In a certain way they are unique - at least I don't know a band to compare with.
    I heard in 2021 for the first time of Snarky Puppy on other friends' youtube channel. Loved it right away. At the same time there was a song by Mark Lettieri on my eclipsed samper, which I liked a lot. I checked on Mark and was surprised, that he's a member of Snarky Puppy. Listening with this knowledge to his song Star Catchers (starting as some kind of heavy blues with great guitar changing the rhythm all of a sudden at 4:30 and you don't know anymore if you hear Earth Wind & Fire or Chicago ... because of the brass section) you can only say : of course, this guy is in Snarky Puppy 😆
    You once reacted to Lingus of the We like it here DVD - what you see is how they recorded the whole album - with a certain amount of fans in the studio.
    In 2022 I wanted to see them live finding out, that their concert was sold out months in advance ... hope they come back one day 🤘

    If you like your jazz funk and you don't already own it, I'd recommend Herbie Hancock's Sunlight album from 1975. His vocoder solo work is brilliant, particularly on the title track.

    Ever listened to a band called thank you scientist?
    They're kind of progressive jazz rock. Think the heavier bits of snarky puppy meets coheed and cambria.
    I think you'll enjoy their stuff.

    Hi Jim,
    Not only a bank holiday in the UK; I think in most of Europe. We call it Pinksteren or Pinksterweekend.
    I remember the bands name from one of your videos. No idea what they sounded like or what I wrote about them.
    Sounds nice indeed. I would call it jazz-rock/fusion; all styles in one go.
    Joe Jackson would use this as background in his songs, David Sylvian also and I love both.
    Yeah, I like this music.

      @@JimNewstead there’s a Dutch phrase for this.
      Literally translated, a children’s hand is quickly filled. Een kinderhand is gauw gevuld.
      Meaning: it’s easy to please one.
      We often use this to tease a person who says he’s very content with what he got/earned.

      In Germany we don't have bank holidays ... most of our holidays are in connection with the church ... Ostern, Pfingsten, Christi Himmelfahrt, Fronleichnam, Weihnachten ... only 1st of May and the day of german reunion 3rd of October don't have a religious background. Actually I don't care for the name and the reason ... a day off is a nice day 😀

    Try as I might, I can't really get around their jazz sound. It's a genre I've never learned how to appreciate.

    I like this, I appreciate it, I admire it, I nodded along to it, I even did a bit of air drumming but do I love it? Sadly, no. There's too much old school jazz noodling and self-satisfied funky grooves for me to consider a rub of Snarky Puppy's tummy. The guitar/drum/synth ending was quite cool though. I'll bring my ball to throw on side 2 if there's more of that.

      Old school jazz noodling? Could you elaborate on that? Do you mean the solos, maybe? I´m not going to criticise you for your opinion, it´s just that I personally don´t see anything old-school in Snarky Puppy.
