LONGER BIO
Saxophonist Bob Reynolds is an in-demand jazz performer, educator, and sideman, as well as a regular member of the Grammy Award-winning band Snarky Puppy. Born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1977, Reynolds grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he first started playing saxophone at age 13. Although he listened to a range of music as a kid, by his late teens he was a dedicated jazz student. After high school he honed his skills at Boston's Berklee College of Music, where he mentored with George Garzone, Hal Crook, and others. As a leader, he debuted with 2000's The Bob Reynolds Quartet, followed by 2006's Can't Wait for Perfect. That same year, he joined fellow Berklee alum John Mayer's band and spent the next five years with the pop star, touring and appearing on such albums as 2008's Where the Light Is and 2009's Battle Studies.
In 2013, he returned to his solo work with Somewhere in Between, which reached number one on digital jazz charts. He then made his Snarky Puppy debut appearing on the genre-bending group's 2014 effort, We Like It Here. Two years later he was back with Snarky Puppy for the Grammy Award-winning Culcha Vulcha. In 2017, Reynolds delivered the EP Guitar Band, which featured appearances from Kneebody bassist Kaveh Rastegar as well as fellow Snarky Puppy members Robert "Sput" Searight (drums) and Mark Lettieri (guitar). ~ Matt Collar

Bob Reynolds whats lossless audio

[@alexambroise111]

Anthony Buck it's non-compressed audio. Mp3 is compressed, FLAC is not. On cheap audio gear, you'll hear the difference between super compressed audio and well compressed/lossless, but not so much between well compressed and lossless. Where the fun begins is with a decent pair of earphones or speakers. Enjoy the audiophile journey! Cheers

[@anthonybuck1044]

Alexandre Colas-Jeffery Thanks, when's I hear, "lossless format" it reminds me of Vulfpeck's "Guided Smile Meditation"

[@janrahtkens]

Beautiful piece! Any chance I could buy a play along and/or midi for this? I play alto, but you make me wanna go tenor :)

[@ryanexsus]

Man, what a song. Weird to be learning about this genius musician 10 years too late.

[@bobreynolds]

I don't know which musician you are referring to, but on the chance it's me... I'm still around! :)

[@ryanexsus]

@@bobreynolds Wait I just realized the way that read I'm so sorry lol. I meant like I'm way behind just now discovering all this great music.

[@tr1standotcom]

Reasons I wished I lived in LA: 1) Being able to see this live

[@osanan]

Me too!

[@philjudd3473]

Me too...your music has soul like nothing else out there..

[@jonasfrehse]

They went on tour this year. When they were here in Germany I asked Janek (on the bass) what his plans where for the near future and they said they will definitely do more tours around the world next year! So stay hyped! :D Those cats are cool!

[@scottlane8157]

wow, thats what its about. to have every note sound that sweet and master dynamics and tone. my goodness.thats fantastic

[@osanan]

Mr. Reynolds, I've been in love with your work since the very first note I heard you playing, and "Closer" is my favorite song from you. Thank you for the great music, performance and video, and for sharing your excellent songs with us! Best regards and greetings from Brazil.

[@ralphgillies8614]

When Reynolds plays like this I Will do my best to transcribe it.

[@jensclarberg6419]

During my 2nd year of studying my music degree I discovered Bob and Janek and used to listen to Janek's live at 55 Bar and Bob's A Live Life 24/7, so you can imagine how happy I was to hear this on a new album.

[@cjbcross]

Dang - that is just gorgeous. Roots from blues. Does not get any more pure than that.

[@chrispotter3190]

Man, you got yourself a killer band here. You guys sound perfect

[@ozeelangol4699]

Excellent and classic 👌 👏

[@blok31092]

One of the greatest harmonic progressions ever. So much emotion in every chord and note played. My dream is to write stuff like this.

[@Dee1962z]

First Jazz concert I ever went to Wow Bob!! Was yours at band on the wall. Wow you were all. Amazing Still are...

[@manansarupria600]

Ohhh god!!!! This piece is simply mind blowing. I already got all the fucking chills out of my body at 2:10. Cannot handle the entire song at once honestly. Much love Bob. Always a big mad fan of your works

[@ralphhopper9865]

Daaaaamn, so good. Love your playing Bob but the whole band is killin'. A great example of guys really listening to each other. This CD is great. Just about worn my copy out. :)

[@sbaiar]

Damn!! That was awesome! Chaun has just graduated... He's now one of my favorite drummers. (pseudo Vinnie) Ugghh!! Bob, your control kills me. I'm a tenor player and you have ALL my respect! Wanted to attend the sax camp. Who knows, maybe next year. :)

[@bernhardmonzeljazz]

Simply great...amazing....thanks..

[@qibert]

Hi Bob, I was at the masterclass you did in London earlier in the summer, which was like spending a couple of hours with a friend, chatting about Jazz and playing. I bought the album, which you signed, and have it playing nonstop in the car. It is exquisite to say the least. Bring on the next one.

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks, Bert. :)

[@rodericktech5643]

This album is so good. Bought it on the release date and can't get enough. Thank you for making great music, all :) As a pianist I particularly appreciate and enjoy what Ruslan adds to the mix but every player is top-notch and the tunes are well-written. Also the recording quality is superb! I've been recommending this album to everyone I know who enjoys good music.

[@TiagoLageira]

[@andrewparks754]

Congrats on 50k subs!!!

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks! Vlog returning next week. For real. Just been so much going on...but I'm gonna dig back in.

[@legoblox01]

After listening to a ton of hard bebop, this is a nice thing for my ears

[@RiggedVedist]

Hey Bob do you get to gig around San Diego much? FYI every Wed. night gilbert castellanos hosts a jazz jam in Balboa Park and every Thursday night Bill Cabellero hosts Latin jazz jam at Border X in Barrio Logan. Thurs tends to be more fun ;) and there are always top shelf local jazz musicians in attendance including amazing local Tenor players ...

[@kindnick58]

JG!

[@legoblox01]

The energy and connection in this quartet is magical. Any plans for sheet music/lead sheets?

[@amparopoint2246]

Apolíneo..

[@attekarm]

I'm coming to LA soon, hopefully you're playing some show there during 1.-10. of September! Are there any must-go clubs to see some jazz?

[@bobreynolds]

sep 6; baked potato

[@attekarm]

Bob Reynolds Great! Hopefully I'll make it there!

[@WilliamCarterII]

Whoever mixed those drums needs several raises.

[@L33M_0]

Also was that a Gbmaj7#11 in the last chord?

[@inktapemusic2221]

What mic did you use for your saxophone?

[@WZMstqm]

How can i get music sheet for your song

[@caferrara]

Bring back Chaun Horton. He inhabited this music.

[@sbaiar]

Also gotta say that big 'ol fat 'G', with quarter note triplet vibrato just hangin' out there. I may have to go get checked. I have the unfortunate malady of permanent "stank" face!! It's all your fault. lolol
