Musician/Producer Reacts to "I Remember" by Snarky Puppy & Knower

[@stmserio]

Hey Jeff, I was at this session with my wife and son sitting in front of the drummers and next the horn section, simply unbelievable… Cory jokingly complained that the bass part Michael wrote was so hard to play … what a night

[@StrateleStudios]

WOW! Man, I would have loved to have been there! That's hilarious about Cory...hahahaha

[@gabriellan2010]

That IS sick, they’re really showing that they are The Tightest Band from Tightsville here - and Genevieve’s run with the horns is insane…!! Did you notice she’s with them all the way, right from the top?? Mindblowing…Great job from you and what a great way to end the weekend! Watching your reactions is like watching a kid on Christmas Morning opening gifts, haha! 😉👏🏻☄️

[@StrateleStudios]

When I rewatched it I saw her nail that run! So cool! 😁😁😁

[@TiqueO6]

Loving your reactions and thanks for posting! Just wanted to point out, if it hasn't already been, the Genevieve is also a co-writer on many of these tunes, she's a multi instrumentalist as well although she might not call herself that, I don't know.

[@setecastronomy53]

Wowzers!!!

[@StrateleStudios]

Hahaha indeed!

[@fasanov123]

I wonder if you’ve heard of the Metropole Orkest. They are a professional full pops orchestra that plays with tons of artists on things like BBC proms and albums and such. They did an album with snarky puppy which is unreal. One of the greatest jazz orchestra albums ever recorded. They also did a concert with Cory henry (cover of billie jean and purple rain). Checking any of those would be so cool. Really blew my mind when I first heard them. Changed my understanding of a modern orchestra and orchestration at its core and I think you’d find it really amazing. Love your reactions and videos man thanks for keeping them up! Super fun to watch!

[@StrateleStudios]

I absolutely love this concept. I have a song called “The Curtain” on my reaction list! I’ve had numerous requests for that one so I’m really excited to make that happen! 👏

[@fasanov123]

@@StrateleStudios Yeah that’s a killer one. That whole album is a game changer. As an orchestrator it’s totally opened my mind to new possibilities. Insane. Snarky is currently in the process of recording a new album. Really excited to see where it goes this time!

Any tune from that album - Sylva - is worth listening to, the whole album is stunning! The Curtain and Atchafalaya are my 2 favourites…

Don't forget Jeff Coffin guesting on that killer tenor solo. That's why they let him keep blowing.

@@StrateleStudios kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooaweIaoaMdpbck You don't know the half of it, man! I love your channel and you are literally one of the few "reaction" people that I like in all of KZbin simply because you let us see your reactions in real-time as opposed to the people to pause the videos every 30 seconds to talk about it, and then unpause for 30 more seconds, then pause again to talk. You get it! I absolutely LOVE that about you. I feel like I get to see your legitimate first-time reaction to things as opposed to the others who have most likely already seen the videos prior to their "reaction" so they have to pause every 30 seconds to spew their bullcrap. You just do your thing and listen to the whole song, and *then* spend a few minutes talking about what you have just witnesses. PLEASE never stop doing it this way! I subscribed to your channel immediately after watching your first Snarky Puppy reaction video. Please don't let me down! Also, Jeff Coffin might actually be a robot!

[@StrateleStudios]

@@gustafsone This comment is an absolute gift to me. You completely get what I'm doing without ever having a single word exchanged between us! My comments are NEVER more important than the music so out of respect I try to wait and make very few comments during the video. On top of that, how can I enjoy it if I'm stopping the friggin' video every 30 seconds. LOL. I can promise you, this will never change. Btw, that Bela Fleck (V. Wooten) video you linked above made my head explode. That sax solo OMG!!!!!!!! Thanks again for this comment.

[@brucephoenix3989]

Great descriptive reviews Jeff! Power groove, twisted. All right on 😲 🎵

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you so much Bruce! 😃🎉😂👏🤝

[@robote7679]

Love your reactions. Just had to say that years after the hey day for Missing Persons, Dale Bozzio lived across the road from my sister in central New Hampshire. She had the most amazing stories to tell of all her adventures back in LA in the '80's. One of the best story tellers I've ever heard. Including a couple about Prince that to this day still make me chuckle.

[@StrateleStudios]

I saw an interview with her not long about talking about her relationship with Frank Zappa and how they met. I was captivated the whole interview which was pretty long actually. I got to see them a couple time in the San Fernando Valley at a place called the Country Club. I remember Terry having to keep Dale in line a few times LOL.

[@robote7679]

@@StrateleStudios My sister lives in a town of less than 2000 people in the mountains of New Hampshire. About 20 years ago at this point I went to visit her. I had just arrived when there was a knock on my sister's door. She answers it and in walks this still striking woman with a wild haircut, spandex tights, some kinda rock star shirt, tons of jewelry and a leopard skin print jacket. It was Dale Bozzio and she was a riot. I can imagine she could be a major handful. She had retained the Missing Persons name and would do shows at various venues working with regional musicians. I went to one show at an Indian Casino. The show was great, very tight and professional. Her keyboardist had a part-time gig playing the organ at Boston Bruin's games. Sadly the last time I saw her she was playing a backyard BBQ and did not look good.

[@peterkoeppl1186]

@@StrateleStudios blank and Jones may be a bit mellow and elevator music for you. You ever listen to Candy Dulfer...very funky sax and band. Here is a sample....kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIXTh3R-mdmUra8. Just a playful tune on slightly modified funk background

OMG never heard this jam. Beeing a huge fan of Knower this is absolutely awesome for me. That's tight, tight, and ...tight! Louis Cole is such a crazy genius. Great choice! BTW this more a Knower tune style arrangement ft snarky puppy

[@StrateleStudios]

I was thinking the exact same thing. This is more of a Knower featuring SP. Good catch!

[@svetespo]

@@StrateleStudios BTW a tech question for you :D The background chorus looks a bit weird.. is this some kind of "dissonance" or just unwanted out of tune voices? Or maybe 1/4 tones or something else?

[@lilpoo22]

Yeah Snarky Puppy had done two albums called family dinner. The two album are basically songs from others band/artists that are performed in collab.

[@Sassari2930]

It's not a "jam" it's a written arrangement with an improvised sax solo, which Is why it's so tight.

[@lavenderbluemama953]

Ahem. I awoke to this lovely, lively reaction this morning. I suppose it's never too early to extol the virtues of a naked sax solo. (I'm almost certain I'll regret this comment later.)

Hey Jeff, this is not only blending Snarky Puppy and Knower, but also two powerhouse music programs; UNT for Snarky Puppy, and USC for Knower. BTW, you should check out Moonchild, the members of which were contemporaries of LC and even appeared in some of his videos. Moonchild is jazz R-N-B fusion with 3 outstanding multi-instrumentalists/composers. If you like Dirty Loops, you'll at least appreciate Moonchild.

[@lilpoo22]

Please react to Ghost note too ! I discovered them cause they are with the label Ground Up founded by Michael League. It's jazz fusion but more funk/hip hop. The bass player is just unbelievable !! He is playing with a 4 string right hand bass but play it like a left hand player (even though he is right handed) so the strings are inverted. He is a true slap master as well !

[@StrateleStudios]

Oh ya…I’m familiar with Mono Neon…the guy is awesome on bass!!!

[@TheRedOctoberProject]

Ghost-Note was actually founded by Sput and Nate Werth from SP

[@jarreddunlap7065]

Jeff Coffin is a freak of nature... Check out some of The Flecktones videos. It's amazing that Jeff is the current sax guy for Dave Matthews after LeRoy passed away. I even wonder if Dave knows how good his sax player actually is. That sax solo is RIDICULOUS. There's one solo on the Bela Fleck and the Flecktones live album that Jeff plays a solo with two saxophones at one time. Thanks for resting to this. Been listening to SP and Knower for years myself. Clown Core is great also if you want some weird in your life.

[@StrateleStudios]

Man I love how he just lets go at the end of that solo 💪👏👍 Oh wow didn’t know he was playing with DM cool! Oh ya man Clown Core is freakin’ awesome. I’ll have to do a vid for them. The one in the outhouse is so awesome. Has me in stitches!

Genevieve also reminds me of Dale Bozzio! I was a BIG fan of Missing Persons! Her husband, Terry Bozzio is a world class drummer (played a lot with Zappa). And Warren Cuccurullo on guitar! Got to see them live at their peak. I knew you would enjoy Jeff Cofflin's sax solo with the drums. Since you're a big fan of Knower (as I am), are you familiar with Clown Core ? If not, you will be shocked. Yes, there is a tie-in with Knower!
