Snarky Puppy Live at Java Jazz Festival 2014

[@sitgesstudio]

It’s 2021 and I’ve found Snarky Puppy. I feel I’ve been living in a freezer all these years

[@kumatv9730]

Same feeling

[@JonathanMacher]

You're late to the party man!

[@anthonydavella8350]

Very impressed, the one dude just got his own sig PRS

[@alikajohnson9250]

I just found them too

[@ks5553]

KZbin recommended "drummer hears enter sandman for the first time"...not understanding how this was even possible I clicked thinking it would be a fun forgettable 6 minutes. It's been 2 days with no sleep and I can barely remember what life was like before Snarky Puppy.

[@GingerDrums]

So nice that the percussionist is good and loud in this mix. That dude is slaying all over the place

[@jawshoowa]

I was thinking the same. I love his playing, and he is way more up front in this mix than other SP stuff I can find.

[@gustafsone]

Yep, all of the Snarky drummers are unbelievable. This is Sput Searight playing here, and they also rotate Larnell Lewis and Jason "JT" Thomas in and out depending on who is available at the time. All of them are great.

Mark Lettieri Solo on Lingus is just unbelievable. Amazing!

[@gustafsone]

Yep, there's no denying that Cory's solo in the live studio recording was nothing but otherworldly, but Mark absolutely owns this thing, too! It's so cool to hear this solo section on a different instrument.

Are you any nearer re-uploading the new version with HD sound? Can't WAIT to see/hear it!!

[@zed9zed]

The drummer really drives the whole performance. They're all exceptional musicians, but the drummer is the engine behind it all here.

[@jcrawford068]

always. Without a good drummer, it's not the same gig.

[@jasonboyd4057]

It's a percussion section. 1 dude on the traps & the other creating a rhythmic sound that's solid.. Indonesia? Sorry to say , across the pond anywhere but this country ( USA) so many still live a modest & mysterious lifestyle..

[@jasonboyd4057]

No money to be made here anymore.. skinny social media retards that support a retarded corrupt government.. pos.

Totally. Noting the percussionist as an essential part of the drum sound.

[@danedmiston7734]

You know it's really good to see a group of young and very talented musicians tearing it up. I now feel more comfortable about the future of music. Keep it up fellows and get back to Charlotte, NC asap.

[@lesnyk255]

+Dan Edmiston I second the sentiment!

[@BarbeRace]

Exactly!

[@kurtberlingen3549]

that is true!

[@wheelie63]

thats what i was thinkin'..........wb

[@JoseVazquezEd]

Everything, everything, everything. Jazz changed how I listen and appreciate music. I am forever grateful.

[@dmisso42]

Jose Vazquez Use that jazz tuned ear to listen to ALL music. My son is a drummer who makes his living banging out pop covers, but his passion is Jazz and he'll often slip in a riff or two into some "standard", just to keep his hand in.

[@jamro217]

How refreshing to see and hear fusion being played by youthful musicians. What a talented and tight band.

Mark's solo in the beginning of Flood is amazing.

[@duncanmagee]

51:52 is soooo gooood

[@samba-v8c]

51:04 onwards reminds me of The Fearless Flyers' Swampers, which is funny since Mark went on to record it 4 or 5 years later, haha

[@matecarrillo]

Extraordinary musicians. Nice combination of technique, virtuosity and a lot of heart.

[@Hodge329]

I'd heard most of these tracks before today, and was so excited to hear these live takes, but then Flood just smacked me in the face with how gorgeous and groovy it is. What a treat.

[@RonvanMiddendorp]

The guitar solo in Lingus is one of the best tributes to Eddie van Halen ever.

[@TA-to7kt]

Apart from being amazing musicians, these guys are completely humble and sincere. Got to meet them after a show in Melbourne, Australia and they were ALL very cool cats. Nothing but love and respect.

[@mariposa9877]

I was at their concert October 30th 2015 in Berlin - it left me breathless. Fantastic people!

[@benjaminsayers4300]

Represent the VH. shows how much respect Ed had across all genres. The hippest musicians of all styles always knew what a genius he was. RIP. Just discovered Snarky Puppy. Glad that fusion is alive and moving forward. The old generation are nearly all gone. Glad the young dudes are doing much more than just a nostalgia trip.

[@youtux2]

So far the best performance of Snarky Puppy among those available on KZbin, IMHO.

[@timstanton368]

+youtux2 this one, and "southland ballroom in raleigh"

[@youtux2]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

[@EmilSaks]

It's so unbeliveable how they manage to play with such a confidence, strenght, and love for the music. It seems that the crowd didn't get what is going on in front of them. I would scream my throat out out there...

[@EmilSaks]

Tom Floor I agree. But this is so much more than 'just' a jazz, wouldn't you say? Ok, let me put it this way, thay didn't applaude much and yell 'bravo' neither. :-) Anyway I would be a fan with the worse manners at their concert, I couldn't help it.

[@mwilesbass]

Its a cultural thing. American audiences are really the only ones that get rowdy when they really dig something.

Matt Wiles You clearly haven't been to Portugal.

[@besnico]

Sérgio Castro clearly not... For some reason, every artist falls in love with Portuguese crowds

[@DustyChalk]

Matt Wiles DC area crowds suck, for the most part, so it must be a regional thing.

[@Jolafunk]

Audio quality is one thing the ambience is so nice this concert is unique to everyone in the audience People in the audience are part of the exprerience. thanks to ALL involved (and still are maybe)

[@celiapaula2859]

that drummer is not human! INSANE! amazing talent ... I am still in shock with Snarky Puppy... missed Weather Report and such.... now I have them

[@horatiovelvetine787]

48:30 - 52:20 ...AHHHHH So soulful and beautiful! Damn near shed a tear..

[@hnoerdli]

I cannot get enough of this. I've been listening to it about 2 times a day since I discovered it about 4 days ago. I'll call out the guitar solo trading starting around 6:30. At one point the drummer can be seen with a huge grin. I think he may have been enjoying it more than anyone else. Typically not a fan of guitar wank-offs; I think it is fair to say this is anything but. Also at 59:10 when the rhythm section modulates tempo is just masterful. These guys have achieved a level of musical mastery hitherto unknown.

[@jamesrmore]

Right, some great stuff. As long as it's not just technical masturbation. Love the Van Halen t-shirt and the Jaco ending "shave and haircut". The piano right after cool too. Having two guitarist seems right here ;>

[@jasongravely7217]

I agree with all that! He gets weird enough to stray from the straight 16th note or 32nd “watch how much metronome I have played to” a lot of guitarists fall into. I’m only about 15 min, so now you’ve got me primed for 59:10. Much love to other Snarky Puppy fans. These guys inspire me all the time.

[@pierreloubert8389]

Snarky Puppy are brilliant, beautiful and talented, all of them. Thanks for sharing. This filled my morning with wonder and joy.

[@Fluffykinggaming]

1:13:08 Michael and Sput! Absolutely crazy! They have such a nuts connection!

[@ziererodolph]

[@gscgold]

thankfully there are still people interested in good music.

[@slowhand5922]

There are so many influences you can hear. Allow me to direct your attention to King Crimson's "Red". Not that I have any problem with that. In opposite I enjoy every reminescence I discover. What a great band! One of the most exciting things is to see they have much fun together on stage and respect for each other. And they have so much energy. As a guitarist myself I want to say that I really like what these two guys do on their instruments. It's not only the technical perfection but the abundance of ideas and the tasteful melodic and harmonic playing. I'm thrilled and impressed.

[@joypresleyify]

I hear some Zappa influence, without the xylophone, but the horns are astounding! They ice that cake well!

[@samba-v8c]

A lot of Bob Lanzetti's playing reminds me of King Crimson

[@Mathuradasji]

Absolutely fabulous. Saw them this summer at Womad festival here in England. They are new favourite band. Accessible, groovy, virtuosic, melodic, funky Jazz at it's best.

[@apointonacurve]

This is some of the most amazing music I've ever heard! How have I not heard these guys before? 'Face is officially melting off...

[@wombat2248]

A PointOnACurve I left some words on another live vid of there's almost exactly the same as yours , I was after the drummer - liked his style and but ended up watching whole concert surprised myself not usually into jazz much

[@brandonlbartlett]

My favorite classical composer is Bach. His melodic/lyrical writing makes him special to me. If i could some how bring JSB to 2022, once i got him to stop hyperventilating about...well...everything, for obvious reasons, id put a very good set of headphones on him. Id play Awaken by Yes first, the opening will give him a little familiarity. As soon as Awaken is done, we'd take a snarky trip down the rabbit hole. I hope 100 years from now these guys are given the God Tier recognition they deserve. Its criminal how often i have explain what they are. They should be a household name!

[@LUckybones25]

BTW I never heard anyone do a Jeff Beck riff and sound like this guy has pulled off. Simply incredible!!!!

[@Releets]

I can't get over the part at 56:43 where Sput drops a stick, catches it mid-fall, and continues to play, all while not taking one step out of the pocket.

[@JDrums_94]

He didn't drop the stick , he had a towel on his left knee and it was slowly slipping off , he tried to catch it before it hits the ground but he didn't :) , still amazing for doing all of that without missing a beat !!!

[@chrisrussell5498]

34:30 if you wanna hear a bass solo that's fun to listen to, without any showing off, fiddling or shredding. just a nice bass solo. makes a great intro to the amazing song that follows!
