Snarky Puppy - Shofukan (Glastonbury 2022)

[@mykonomen]

Instrumental music getting big crowds in 2022, who could have imagined that? Fusion/jazz bands were mainstream in the seventies, selling millions of records. One can only hope we get back to a fraction of that.

[@benink5690]

These guys are actually enjoyable though. A ton of crappy jazz fusion music. Like it's mostly garbage to my ears. Anytime i hear "Oh so theres a jazz band playing" i run for the hills. This is like Funky motown cat, electronika James Bond meets perfect percussion and brass.

[@zayaanderson5486]

not just any instrumental music, snarky puppy

[@snazzymcnazmy]

It's the 20s jazz is in babey

[@martinpaddle]

Herbie Hancock even drew a bigger crowd at the same festival, at 82 years of age. There videos of him performing Cantaloupe Island and Chameleon at Glastonbury 2022, with Lionel Loueke on guitar and Terence Blanchard on trumpet

[@andycurtis3405]

Snarky Puppy got a bit stiffed by the scheduling. Diana Ross was on the Pyramid Stage at the same time so for the first half of their set it was dead, the crowd was about 6 rows deep. It filled out after she finished at least. Nubya Garcia was on before these guys and got a tiny crowd for the same reason. I was happy to be able to just casually stroll up and lean on the barrier to watch both acts at least

Left to Right: Chris Bullock - Sax Mike Maher - Trumpet Marcelo Woloski - Percussion Jason "JT" Thomas - Drums Zach Brock - Violin Mike League - Bass Bob Lanzetti - Guitar Bill Laurance - Keys (It looks like him back there but we never get a good camera shot of him) Justin Stanton - Keys/Trumpet

[@skipmessier765]

Great version of this tune. Curious as to why so many members are missing. No Mark Lanzetti, Bob Lettering, Bobby Sparks or Shaun Martin ? Also I could be wrong but I think that’s Jay Jennings on trumpet not Mike “ Maz “ Maher.

[@findingascia4100]

@@skipmessier765 can confirm it’s Maz, not Jay on trumpet! And indeed it is Bill behind Justin on keys. They usually only tour with 8-10 members of the band, and it rotates as band members have other commitments, like different tours and family. As I’m sure you can imagine, it’s neither cheap nor easy traveling with a band this size!

[@ondolite3789]

@@skipmessier765 You got that a bit mixed up. Bob Lanzetti is playing guitar whilst Mark Lettieri and Chris McQueen are absent. Definitely Maz on the trumpet!

[@jasonthomas6486]

@@skipmessier765 Nobody’s missing. This is the touring band. Guys come in and out according to the rotation or availability. All except for Mike/Maz/Justin/& Chris. Everyone else is on rotation. You’re thinking of the “recording band”, that’s 19-20 people. We never tour with more than 10.

[@jasonthomas6486]

[@reverendbarker650]

@@tonyrice3774 A rather over the top comment, obviously you think YOUR opinion is more valid than mine, but quite honestly , I don't give a fuck about what you think , Ive seen most of the top bands around of the past 60 or so years and I rate them highly. Kamazi Washington could give them a run for their ,money, or the Ezra Collective, but your poxy opinion is just that , yours , and when you don't even back it up with reasons or examples then it means even less than fart in a drainpipe as far as I'm concerned. .

What a trumpet solo Mike Maher, thank you so much for that beauty!

[@anotheraleks]

way too much spice for me

[@jonathanbower863]

You like your trumpet solos with salt and pepper only?

[@anotheraleks]

@@jonathanbower863 well, it's not black or white

[@jonathantsbower]

​@@anotheraleks what do you mean (about the trumpet solo)? Actually curious. P.s. pepper and salt are black and white 😂

[@anotheraleks]

@@jonathantsbower I'm sure you understand what I mean but anyway=) Dissonances in music are usually called "spicy notes" and it works just like when you cook: if you don't use them at all, you will sound boring (especially when it comes to jazz styles) and on the other hand too much spice gives a lot of tension and feels uncomfortable. And what I meant by black and white is it's not "spicy" or "not spicy", the amount of spice can vary and different people like it differently. Original Shofukan solo is closer to my taste

[@AnnDVine]

is Michael League ever not having the best time of his life? he's so cheerful! he deserves to be too, hell of a composer

[@jonathanbower863]

he makes stank face and nods his head when he eats breakfast in the morning
