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!

[@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..............

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

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

[@oeaoo]

Reminded of Ahmad Jamal style.

[@jackdeidolci]

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

[@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..."

[@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!

[@shaykemup]

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

[@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 ❤🥹🙏

[@oudskulomello9491]

What a tune Mark. RIP Shaun Martin ❤❤

[@АндрейРуденко-у3л]

Reminds "Rivera Paradise" by SRV. Awesome!

[@Almorph]

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

[@legalize.brokkoli]

Yes.

[@francisproulx131]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Iszkiewicz]

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

[@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)

[@morelcompasstv]

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

[@MarkLindell]

The piano sounds fantastic in the mix. Love it.

[@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!

[@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?"

[@tomitorres7313]

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

[@Kingding6]

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

[@68caribou]

Thanks for making Montreal even funkier!!!!

[@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

[@pauloberlin316]

Thanks for all the great music. Keep it up!

[@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

[@doloopPi]

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

[@jonhanson4817]

Just beautiful

[@raul2050]

Every note is played with such good taste...

[@laloquintanar1]

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

[@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.

[@bubblyintentions]

4:50 That ingenious riff.

[@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!

[@nathoutaleternel1307]

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

[@keithwaters8334]

Wes!

[@franciscoestupinan6480]

amazin woow

[@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

[@hahabass]

Lovin the bass face at 6:38.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@Fixxou]

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

[@robertoyler551]

heavenly sounding.

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

That tone...Walls of ear candy!!

[@HarryPotter-mu1qr]

Favorite guitar player

[@BrandOdyssey]

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

[@Almightservant]

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

[@RhysGilchrist]

Absolutely bliss stuff, Mark! Thanks for the music.

[@cleanritewindowservice7926]

Doing it for me love the groove feel makes me in my happy place .

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

Absolutely a Masterpiece.

[@enryclaptone1668]

Bravo! Clap, clap, clap......

[@DavidRDavidRoss]

Just wow!!!

[@slowly7588]

The most coldest song of his records

[@lucianmunteanu8751]

Toți extratereștri... respect

[@DougDopplerMusic]

Just killing me with every note. WOW!!

[@BunkleMcCrunkle]

5:15 onward is just insane

[@naihan1978]

Cant stop listening..its amazing!!!

[@patrickmckay6621]

What a great song,killer voicings

[@roarskaar-hanssen8350]

Wow, awesome

[@PeterLaman]

One word: beautiful!

[@jonathankitavingonyi6312]

This is one of my favourites

[@MrToshtoshtosh]

Right. This just made my 'favourites' list!

[@Choro_Schweiz]

brother... you let me cry with this amazing arrangement! absolutely amazing!

[@Umziky]

Shaun!

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

I love it! Very Soulful, very smooth!

[@sonkeh7362]

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

[@mckendrickmusic6286]

We have the CD but wanted to come back and SEE it being done.. exceptional as always.

[@FAMUCHOLLY]

Awesome!!!

[@damihendrix]

Absolutely wonderful

[@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.

[@pierobalbo3337]

Splendid tone

[@PC0067]

Superbe son. Bravo les gars !! Bel exercice artistique !!

[@jasonkerr931]

oh that Bass!

[@suzannemarsay454]

love love love!

[@roarskaar-hanssen8350]

Awesome, mind blowing👍

[@giacomofontanelli147]

Amazing

[@EconomicSnail]

Absolutely fantastic. Such feel and groove.

[@jorgepazjr]

This is mindblowing. Thank you MARK!

[@sarandeula6194]

So much feel here omg

[@wjr3092]

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

[@brunopal26]

Brilliance.

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Man, you guys killed it. 🙌🏻🔥

[@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 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥

[@SoulOfTheBoss]

This song is has such a damn tasty feel... Stanky groove!! Thanks for the awesome song and great album Mark and co. Keep it up!

[@zyrus2552]

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

[@jimsoloway]

Wonderful piece. Great feel and one of the best Strat sounds I've ever heard. I'll definitely be buying the album as soon as it comes out.

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

Very Landau-ish. I love it!

[@deanzarras7480]

Spot on. Great stuff.

[@arturopopoli2395]

Not sure if Shaun Martin's ending solo is even legal

[@mjlettieri]

Yeah, he's pretty good :)

[@TwoCitiesOneWorldOfficial]

That's how we felt when Shaun played with us a few months ago! He's a monster! And a gentleman and a scholar to boot!! Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Csm4iYqrWlg9E Hope you Enjoy! Peace and Love!

[@enavgarcia5764]

definitively not

[@smicksmookety]

@Matt Bailey They're known to the state of California to give you cancer.

[@tconnell1121]

5:50 just kills me

[@karamalzouhir]

Beautiful chords, amazing arrangement, wonderful and effective solos. You are just great guys !!

[@Fixxou]

Mark this is awesome !! love this song !!!!

[@mariacarmen3667]

GENIALES

[@sanjeevdesai8463]

[@igordossantosalmeida6502]

Brasil!!! O melhor instrumental que já ouvi !

[@pipetrucciable]

Such a wonderful piece of music! Inspiring!
