LONGER BIO
Saxophonist Bob Reynolds is an in-demand jazz performer, educator, and sideman, as well as a Grammy Award-winning member band Snarky Puppy. Born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1977, Reynolds grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he first started playing saxophone at age 13. Although he listened to a range of music as a kid, by his late teens he was a dedicated jazz student. After high school he honed his skills at Boston's Berklee College of Music, where he mentored with George Garzone, Hal Crook, and others. As a leader, he debuted with 2000's The Bob Reynolds Quartet, followed by 2006's Can't Wait for Perfect. That same year, he joined fellow Berklee alum John Mayer's band and spent the next five years with the pop star, touring and appearing on such albums as 2008's Where the Light Is and 2009's Battle Studies.
In 2013, he returned to his solo work with Somewhere in Between, which reached number one on digital jazz charts. He then made his Snarky Puppy debut appearing on the genre-bending group's 2014 effort, We Like It Here. Two years later he was back with Snarky Puppy for the Grammy Award-winning Culcha Vulcha. In 2017, Reynolds delivered the EP Guitar Band, which featured appearances from Kneebody bassist Kaveh Rastegar as well as fellow Snarky Puppy members Robert "Sput" Searight (drums) and Mark Lettieri (guitar). In 2018 he began touring with 4-time Grammy-winning guitar legend Larry Carlton. He also released the albums Hindsight and Quartet which both landed in the top 10 of Billboard's Jazz charts. A passionate educator, he cofounded an annual summer retreat for adult saxophonists called the Inside:Outside Retreat and he's coached thousands of musicians through his Virtual Studio, a ground-breaking web-based teaching platform he built and has operated since 2010.

[@Dvilch]

[@PhilTiongson]

Great as always! Thanks for posting. By the way, have you ever talked about how you came to join Snarky? That would make a great vlog if you haven’t done it already. Since you’re going through old footage/reminiscing these days... ;)

[@thomasicekeys]

YEEEEEESSSSSS this is a dream come true! Footage from recording THAT album! So stoked about the next parts!

[@FunkCitynet]

Great stuff Bob, it's terrific that you share this with us

[@mortengismervikmusic]

That last clip with all of the drummers was such a cliffhanger, excited about the next video

[@NathanSMadsen]

I'm SO glad to have these vlogs back! Thank you Bob! I hope that you are well and safe.

[@absoluteunit8628]

i cant wait!!

[@alvinviklund]

Dude is just casually producing beats in the backseat of an Uber... That's legendary!

[@julienz2024]

I was wondering the same thing. But is that not simply the Garage Band project Michael League sends out to the band to help them get familiar with the tracks? I'm saying this because there's 3 drum kits on the project, and 3 drum kits on the actual album. I could be completely wrong though lol

[@alexhowley6262]

Can’t wait for Part 2! It was great to meet you in Manchester in November after Snarky’s gig, Bob. I’m so glad you told me about this channel!

[@benwinstanleymusic]

[@ThePanchomack]

Awesome!

[@pollyperry4444]

It is so great you are doing this. Its like if Johnny Hodges was filming with Dukes band while recording.

[@MorboFry]

As a lifelong amateur player, I really enjoy watching the recording process videos. Thank you!

[@patrickolugbemiro9377]

[@koho]

This is incredible. Thanks Bob!

[@marcosfischer_]

Amazing! Hey Bob, I don’t know if you remember me, I was in GroundUp Festival (2019), that was one of the best days in my life! I was close to the coffee shop and when I saw you I couldn’t believe (I literally cried of happiness hahahahaha) I even took a picture of you and my MD. It would be lovely if you one day post the a vlog from that festival. Thousand hugs from Brazil!

[@ablackshedd]

[@dorianvaughn1915]

Ah yes, the vlog's are back in session baby!!

[@PaulMcKendrick]

Thank you!

[@animalforest42]

i was looking for behind the scenes footage from Immigrance earlier today, and now this shows up in my feed!! what a timing :D

[@jorgelopez9620]

nice editing with the music on the airplane sequence and nice tease at the end

[@Marunius]

How come Lingus did not have all that fancy room separation and it's one of the best sounding albums in the world :D?

[@boujeemelon7305]

The production on that album is godly

[@jonnyainscough6522]

Mixed well

[@drewb5775]

Was waiting for this. Cheers Bob!

[@EllaPlaysSynths]

I love this! Please get some gear shots and maybe a little gear rundown w Nic if you can!

[@bobreynolds]

You bet. Just let me fire up my time machine and head back to 2018. ;)

[@TheAdrian1491]

Great video! Keep them coming!!

[@AndrewBliss]

Loved this, but dying to see those drummers lay stuff down on the next episode! Haha, maybe I'm biased. Keep up the incredible work. Hope you are staying healthy and creative.

[@lordwetyr250]

Dope Bob, looking foward to the next one :D

[@RobiTheophilus]

Need. Episode. 2. 🤩

[@hardiksharma1428]

Hit the bell icon as soon as I saw that next part

[@Mikey-vd6op]

Bob is back 🥳

[@terrellworrell8005]

Dope series!!!

[@vr800]

Bob, have you thought about live-streaming recording sessions? This vlog flashed me back to the Quartet recording night in NoHo. Feels so long ago now. That was a special night! Anyway, this video has me feeling amped up and hopeful for the future. Thanks so much for posting this footage.

[@georgeguerrette]

You, sir, are a PHENOMENAL player! Haha! :) I have that the AKAI MPKmini as well. Great for mobile work, as you show (and I've been in the back of the car with it, myself). As I'm not a fan of drum pads, and the keyboard range is so small, I thought when purchasing it to assign the pads to C0, D0 etc. so that I can quickly select articulation layers in patches without having to transpose the keyboard or step-input the trigger notes. Thing I'm not crazy about with this keyboard is the gamepad joystick for controlling pitch and mod. The the center detent and spring resistance makes it useless for smooth mod wheel work on patches with dynamics assigned to it. So, I assigned the K2 control knob to modulation. PERFECT. Thank goodness for the MPK Editor app.

[@Ceeby]

I'll never forget, and isten to it still, your solo in 'Covered In Rain' a john Mayer song. You were absolutely brilliant! Well done! 💕

[@danielryanmusic]

That room sounds great 👍

[@jbeleni]

Incredibleee!!

[@Timbrink09]

Oh that makes me happy and hopeful

[@asabrown1430]

This is so cool 🔥🔥

[@chrishiggins8387]

Soo cool!!

[@TheSteve0o]

7:08 cool to hear KNOWER

[@saxsib]

This great!!!

[@stangetz534]

Another video! Whoa hold on... -) Hope all is well Bob!

[@josechicas561]

Yay keep up the vids

[@TheMexicanaJones]

Absolutely love the recording vlogs. I love seeing the inner and outer workings of getting a band this size recorded and the rehearsal processes as well. Also the saxophone gear nerd bits. Thank you for the great content, Bob!

[@sinethembayantolo]

I am still waiting for part 2 😅

[@nicolasgiliberti1942]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[@kierangunter4374]

you know you're a big deal as a band when a studio builds a whole extension to their studio to cater for some instruments in your band

[@SeanFenlon]

Wonderful episode Bob. Anybody else recognize the cat at the end of this from the Xavi BTS video sauntering over the threshold? :-)

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Big watch!

[@davigomesbaterista6142]

Sensacional 🤘🏾🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@MikeSmith-go8wk]

I knew it! Snarky puppy !

[@walkaboutarts]

that tracking room looks like a crammed music store :)

[@charlesjackson4003]

Its just such a cool place tho

[@nathanbaker3156]

Boomtown is SIIIIICK

[@lsh3rd]

The best little horn house in Texas?

[@bobreynolds]

Hahaha

[@19Lqueen17]

so, you got out of the house to set the camera and then you entered the house again just to shot you getting out of the house? that's a funny thought

[@SandbrycMusic]

7:09 louis cole!

[@yyais3794]

Bob-Matthew McConaughey

[@reljavasiljevic4222]

Hey Bob, could you please give some advice on how to practice with the ideas that you've transcribed? It seems to me that, when I transcribe a piece, let's say a Jim Hall solo (I am a guitar player), I can't really get those licks and phrases come into my improvisation even though I can play them with or without record well enough. Thanks!

[@christophercalabrese9257]

What is that little keyboard you have?

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

Did you do the concert in Florence already? It was supposed to be the 4th of september but I can't find any news on whether it happened or it got cancelled because of the virus

[@daddywhatchucookin2924]

Were you send charts beforehand, or was it a turn-up-and-play type deal?

[@baileymclean972]

Did you play the solo on shofukan at Royal Albert hall? Or was that Chris??

[@bobreynolds]

‘Twas me (‘Twas I?)

[@baileymclean972]

Bob Reynolds- thought it was you, that solo is fucking killer. Definitely my favourite solo over shofukan!!

[@andyokus5735]

Oh, it is nice to have money! $$$$$$$

[@petercowie5213]

This is great and all, but we know that the best things come out with ridiculous experience and a lack of practice

[@ninjalightning2631]

Bob Reynolds such great player the other guy real chip on his shoulders though when I heard his solo I understood better in my experiences Great players always great personalities the guys with chip in their shoulders normaly insecure and suck, listen to his solo understand better

[@TavoHidalgo]

A 14 sordos con problemas mentales no les gusta esto? Pueden creerlo? 🤦 Grande Snarky Puppy! Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴

[@mauricionavarro8224]

three drums??! why not 5? ajajaja xD
