Music for your brain and booty. Brooklyn’s Snarky Puppy bring their dazzling, genre-bending, jazz/funk/dance fused sounds to Band on the Wall band for a night of exhilarating music.
With the release of their last two live CD/DVDs, Snarky Puppy has gone from an underground secret to one of the most internationally respected names in instrumental music.
The 3-time Dallas Observer Music Award winning group (“Best Jazz Act” 2008, 2009, 2010) fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most critical- or most carefree- audience.
The core of the group, which remains consistent, features Grammy Award-winners Robert “Sput” Searight on drums (God’s Property, Snoop Dogg) and Shaun Martin on keys (Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu). Led by award-winning bassist/composer Michael League, Snarky Puppy delivers raw funk and sensitive dynamics, relentless pocket and lyrical melodicism, lush harmony and soulful simplicity, and most importantly, a delicate mixture of composition and improvisation. Support tonight featuring the wonderful voice of Maz (backed by Snarky Puppy) who has just released his debut album on Ground Up Records.
“Snarky Puppy is one of the most inventive in sound and funk since Maynard Ferguson’s fusion years.” The New Face of Jazz
