On March 8th, 2013, Snarky Puppy and a host of special guests convened at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA. The project was to record a series of live performances in audio and video that would bring attention and benefit to the ongoing work of the center. The Jefferson Center is a non-profit arts organization that is revitalizing a key neighborhood in Roanoke with the restoration of Jefferson High School and the renovation of the Shaftman Performance Hall. The hall brings world class music to the local community through the Music Lab, providing education and recording space for local children.
The Music Lab at Jefferson Center is working daily to pull from every social and economic class of the Roanoke community and create the next wave of real, human musicians. They host low cost or free after-school programs for any interested young people filled with visits by guest artists, private instrumental instruction, and recording training. Wafting out of the little studios and rehearsal rooms on the third floor of Jefferson Center, you can hear Afro-beat in Swahili, hip-hop in Liberian Kreyol, the blues coming from the guitar of a 13 year-old prodigy, and the undeniable sound of young musicians growing. It's a thing that needs to be supported at all costs across this country, and by purchasing this record, you've done it.
A portion of every sale will go to the Music Lab at Jefferson Center.

[@zenith2070]

[@AllThingsToeseen]

[@Prof3ssrBrando]

And N'Dambi dropped this tune at the end of the 90s...

[@lauratippett]

I cannot handle how good this is...Snarky Puppy is life!

[@MrLowercase42]

This song is pure, unadulterated porn for my ears. I have to stop everything I'm doing because my knees get weak during Bill's piano solo paired with bass clarinet. Thank god every day for Snarky Puppy.

[@mayaallmighty]

[@reginaldtoussaint8386]

THE NEW SOUND OF THIS MUSICALLY DEPRIVED GENERATION.....THANK YOU SNARKY PUPPY FOR PUTTING EFFORT INTO MODERN DAY MUSIC EXCEPT YOU GUYS NEED RADIO PLAY.......Because musicians and scholars who study music need this type of... i guess acknowledgement like they use to when it came to playing an craft (instrument) or overall musical arts and performance, which MJ, Stevie Wonder, led zeppelin, and etc did....which you guys exemplify here... WE THE MUSICANS (performers including singers who put musical efforts) must show mainstream music, society, the people that WE THE TALENTED MUSICIANS (including singers) that put creativity into action ..THAT WE ARE THE PRIMARY PRODUCERS OF CREATIVE SOUND rather than POP LOOPS with NO Variety or creativity....just straight up linear and communist......well thats MY OPINION lol GREAT JOB GUYS LOVING WHAT YOUR DOING!!!!!!!

[@blmcbride06]

I can't deal...Lawd this is too much. #GROOVE

[@groundUPmusicNYC]
