Mark Lettieri - Montreal (Spark and Echo)

[@michaelobrien1382]

RIP Shaun. You stole the show in so many ways and still shone a light on the art and your collaborators at the same time.

[@ignemiuz5159]

Wow i did not know he died before now. Thats heartbreaking… Rest in peace Shaun.

[@oeaoo]

'(

[@charlescoe5315]

Well said...

[@lovelindsey7712]

Damn. That bass player killed it

[@scoopjazzjazzbass7708]

One of the coolest piano solos

[@WallyPeterson]

The best thing about Snarky Puppy, apart from the obvious, is being able to find other really great music like this from the various projects of the individual musicians. Mark has just made my list of favorite people to listen to.

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks so much, Wally!

[@jackdeidolci]

The sound of a Strat with neck and middle pickup selected - unlimited creaminess.

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

I'm a full guitar head, but jesus christ that piano solo was incredible !!!

[@oeaoo]

Reminded of Ahmad Jamal style.

[@JaredHIll13]

I just recently discovered Mark after just recently discovering snarky puppy... I know Im way late to the party but dang... this is fantastic!!! I tried sharing some tracks with friends and they were like "wheres the lyrics?" I just answer "what u mean you dont hear them... they are telling you the story with their instruments..."

[@Dyshof]

Folks, the last part is some of the best I have ever heard, bass, guitar, drums and that piano solo, outrageous!!!

[@mark1952able]

Perfect sounds for a rainy day..............

[@shaykemup]

the groove and solo at the end is why i will always live music.

[@nickcollins9403]

This is just beyond! Such clean playing from EVERYONE! Thanks so much for the work you do! I’m 53 and you are all a breath of fresh air!

[@davidjenkins3371]

I’m 72 and just discovered Mark. Fantastic tasteful player.

[@nickcollins9403]

David Jenkins hard to get much better!

[@frankyvincent366]

I've learned the bad news for Shaun and immediately came back here listening to this masterpiece solo, like a Funeral's music for him. Rest in heaven and thank you for all the love and soul you've brought to planet earth ❤🥹🙏

[@Almorph]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard

[@legalize.brokkoli]

Yes.

[@АндрейРуденко-у3л]

Reminds "Rivera Paradise" by SRV. Awesome!

[@milkwater1204]

Just when I thought I'd hit a rut with my playing, I see you live with Snarky Puppy and my mind was blown. I was at Wembley and I can't stop rewatching recordings of your solo on "What about Me?"

[@oudskulomello9491]

What a tune Mark. RIP Shaun Martin ❤❤

[@tomitorres7313]

one of the best bass solos ive heard on a long time

[@pauloberlin316]

Thanks for all the great music. Keep it up!

[@bmaurice8032]

I was away from my computer when the song started, so when I heard it I assumed an Allan holdsworth song was playing, then it sound like chet atkins, and it just kept evolving into so many different things. Excellent work

[@Mr.Goldbar]

To me this song sounds perfect to being played in a bar at like 2am, it's so chill but interesting at the same time! I discovered you through this song and I became a fan ever since!

[@nathaniellollis3868]

ALL you guys are "next level" players!!!! If one's got a pulse this music is gonna find you and single you out for a DOSE!!!! Absolutely LOVE this tune!!!!

[@TheRockon11]

The beginning successfully makes me cry every time. I will cherish this song until the day I die. Play it at my damn funeral.

[@francisproulx131]

coming from Montreal this is a blessing listening to this song ! WOW

[@bubblyintentions]

4:50 That ingenious riff.

[@eschaton]

That ending + me = 2 minutes and 12 seconds of pure uninterrupted stank-face. I'm normally quite the metal head but this was fantastic.

[@tomphillips8128]

The intro guitar tone is simply gorgeous. I need to know how to get that sound! Obviously a lot of tone in Mark’s fingers but aside from the tc hall of fame and the grosh, I wonder what else is in the chain. This guy is fast becoming one of my absolute favorite players. Feel, phrasing, tone, composition, super diverse. What else could you ask for!

[@svartsjokolade]

A good compressor and you're there!

[@mjlettieri]

@@svartsjokolade No compressor used here :)

[@jackdeidolci]

Strat with Texas special pick-up maybe?

[@dalerieger5927]

Mark is the missing part of the chain.

[@louiekilleen3276]

Tom Phillips you can get very close instantly by using the neck and bridge pickup (second from the top on a strat)

[@Iszkiewicz]

Everyone killed it! The end groove with Shaun Martins solo wow....

[@Gregorypeckory]

I just discovered your videos, have watched 3 or 4, and really love the phrasing. I hear bits of some of my favorite players; Jeff Beck, Scott Henderson, and Bill Frisell. You have a really nice combination of blues, jazz, open string chords with a nice variety of close and large intervals, volume swells, and that pedal steel/slide guitar, surfish sounding wammy; beautiful stuff!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks Greg, I appreciate that!

[@samcooke343]

Damn that was hot, the last groove was insane. And Shaun's bass never fails, hopefully there's more on the album. Great work Mark.

[@keithwaters8334]

Wes!

[@MarkLindell]

The piano sounds fantastic in the mix. Love it.

[@morelcompasstv]

The solos were undeniably incredible all the way around. Just wow

[@doloopPi]

making the complex sound and look simple.....knows his craft 😎

[@Kingding6]

this is crazy! Amazing also because this is exactly what the city sounds like

[@68caribou]

Thanks for making Montreal even funkier!!!!

[@laloquintanar1]

I like how these guys enjoy every moment. This makes me just want to go practice and try to better

[@slowly7588]

The most coldest song of his records

[@kayo-music]

I don't know how often I listened to this wonderful song but now, seeing you guys doin' it even kicks my a.. more, what a bunch of musicality, taste and musicianship (knowing what to play and what not!!) all the bass-t from kayo

[@hahabass]

Lovin the bass face at 6:38.

[@Fixxou]

Btw Wes did a fabulous bass solo ... thumb up !!

[@anwyllonmusic]

My entire life has lead me to 4:48

[@taliyahumitz9436]

Exactly! Its just a total tease up until that moment! And then when it arrives - its still a bloody tease. The piano sounds so lush. The tempo is amazing. And how the drummer pushes and pulls its just hypnotic.

[@allidoisplay]

Most underrated comment on the internet.

[@skipacuff5104]

I know exactly what you mean.

[@ericdavis285]

Absolutelty Smoking 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥

[@markwaynelangford]

Oh my stars . . . Herbie would be certainly approve of that piano solo . . . and the pocket is so deep.

[@rhcpmd]

that tone is armazing

[@abuventertainment2856]

Gotta HAND it to a brotha... that tone is ARMazing

[@raul2050]

Every note is played with such good taste...

[@franciscoestupinan6480]

amazin woow

[@RhysGilchrist]

Absolutely bliss stuff, Mark! Thanks for the music.

[@sergiohferreira]

I was just listening to this song. I knew that Shaun was playing the piano hehehe I just looked at it fast. Really it was himself. I really like when Mark and Shaun play together. Crazy sound hehehe.

[@nathoutaleternel1307]

I do Ask where such a beauty may comes. 💐🌈 Big thanks Sirs👏 🌺🌺🌺

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

I'm going to watch this one several times because I have a feeling that this is probably one of the hardest slapping songs I've ever heard. It kicks ass all the way to the last drop

[@zyrus2552]

At 2:30 my granddad suddenly popped up in my mind, miss him so much

[@charel5614]

Rip Shaun ❤️

[@ConnorGrail]

when the drums kicked in, I was just like "ahhh yeah thats comfy"

[@jonhanson4817]

Just beautiful

[@peterroot-wiley2760]

The main groove at the 1:30 reminds me of a blusey toy story in the best way.

[@meruemu]

Reminds me of a Julian Lage piece called Nocturne..

[@aniruud]

Yes, I thought so too! I think this arrangement should resonate quite well with you lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2qVh4Nqh8ysj9E

[@msullivan92]

You got a friend in me.

[@supravatdebnath9464]

This song is my ringtone since 2017.....still sounds fresh everytime the phone rings from @5:15

[@sergiohferreira]

5:47 crazy phrases by Shaun hehehe I've repeated many times.

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Man, you guys killed it. 🙌🏻🔥

[@loroc223]

Just been assigned the job of learning the piano solo for a performance in a couple weeks. Wish me luck!

[@Rostro27]

come up with your own?

[@loroc223]

Might have two. Got some of it down but the performance is on monday so I might have to write my own part for that tricky middle bit

[@ShilohMcGroove]

doing both is ideal... we get better by learning what the masters do

[@PeterBilberg]

Hey! I know this might be late from when you did it, but do you know by any chance how I can get the notes/sheets for the piano solo?

[@48956l]

fuck you

[@BunkleMcCrunkle]

5:15 onward is just insane

[@Umziky]

Shaun!

[@jasonkerr931]

oh that Bass!

[@BrandOdyssey]

Wow he’s a great guitar player. Great note choices. Fantastic technique. Amazing sound. And a band to match.

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

That tone...Walls of ear candy!!

[@sonkeh7362]

This is definetly one of the best songs in the world. Is there anything similar to this out there?

[@robertoyler551]

heavenly sounding.

[@acevoncruz]

Your guitar playing is revolutionary! 🤘🏻

[@Almightservant]

Awsome! I would spend hours listening to these guys jamming.

[@lucianmunteanu8751]

Toți extratereștri... respect

[@DavidRDavidRoss]

Just wow!!!

[@Choro_Schweiz]

[@roarskaar-hanssen8350]

Wow, awesome

[@abuventertainment2856]

Is it just me or was that the most tasteful bass solo ever?

[@wjr3092]

Definitely Listened To Some Bill Frisell Along The Way - So Good To Hear These Guys Work Together. Awesome.

[@naihan1978]
