Dan (MusicStudent) got me going on Youtube this AM. Came across this. Wow, this group Snarky Puppy is really good...very tight! The horns add a nice Chicago feel to the song.

Right, thanks to you and Jim Fogle, I changed to link to the correct one. Just listened to Snarky Puppy again...these guys really are good...and they're having such a good time with it all!

They are terrific. When I first heard the name, I thought it was a joke. It isn't.
I played their chart, Blinky, last year as a guest with a college group. The music feels insane at first, but as you get to know it, it hangs right.
Here is their recording of the song I played:

Agree...a very good band.
After listening for a few minutes they somehow reminded of a more energetic/funkified Chuck Mangione.
I love the funk.
When I was in college (geology/music major) during the Pleistocene Epoch they came and performed in our band room....very cool, I might add.
Back to it....
Yes! So glad to see Snarky Puppy getting some love in the forums here. Probably my favourite modern jazz group. I'd love to see them live one days.
Snarky Puppy is all over the Keyboard Corner forum because of Corey Henry. He's one of the new, modern monster keyboard players. Killer gospel organ live in church. Check out those vids it will blow your mind, killer acoustic piano, killer Herbie style outer space synth player, he does it all.
Now, the big question is when will PGM come up with a Snarky Puppy style? Haha, good luck with that...

Sensationally disciplined musicians.
Not a weak link to be found, anywhere. The horn section is knockout.
Jeff,
I'm late getting here but I've been a Snarky Puppy fan for a few years now. They are top class musicians.
Thanks for posting the link.
