The Funky Knuckles - New Birth

[@nathanradich9374]

God there's so much talent out there.

[@karimtit4897]

AND teamwork

[@WallyPeterson]

Wes is just a monster bassist, discovered him playing with Mark Lettieri.

[@taylorcombs5425]

This is still the new standard for Jazz Fusion compositions along with maybe Lingus. The first time I heard them play this live in 2014, they had just gotten out of the studio where they composed it just a week or two earlier. Evan, the Trumpet player, told me that Caleb had written a new tune that was something special, and he had this kind of evil grin as if he knew this tune was the real deal. Well, needless to say, hearing this performed live for the first time was like going on a rollercoaster. Incredible adrenaline, complexity, joy, determination, odd meters, all of it at once. Amazing!

[@skank6969]

Like the long lost sibling to Lingus, and the same as Lingus is one of the GOAT... wow what an epic jam to spread on my morning toast. Nutritious and delicious +++

[@mattiasjakobsson8233]

This is so tight holy jesus

[@joaoborralho6511]

I cry when i ear the bass solo no matter how many times i have listened to this song! The trumpet and sax interventions are just pure beauty...

[@kameronhale1997]

2:30-2:50 😱😱 Wes is a beast on that bass

[@cpatlynch]

love that auxiliary percussionist, sounding great and enjoying life!

[@SeanFenlon]

GREAT recording. GREAT performance. One of the best videos on the GroundUPmusicNYC channel. Instant classic.

[@jpatrickgreen]

What a groove. I swear I heard the ghost of George Duke, especially making that Nord patch bark around 3:40. Well done all around gentlemen!

[@hightolerance2500]

Them boys go for blood EACH AND EVERY TIME. OAN I swear on Wes’s solo during that minute plus you can just sit back and close your eyes with a subtle stank face 🔥🔥🔥

[@LionSoundSystemVision]

This is new incarnation of the Weather Report. Be blessed, guys!

[@francotirador5434]

That band was Tribal Tech

[@jalfredprufrock620]

that dude on percussion kinda looks like Cory Henry. Thought it was Cory for sure on that first shot where he was grinning at the camera lol. And, of course, awesome track!!

[@jesseferreira274]

I also thought it was Cory

[@Grayham4]

[@beeliciousbee]

2021 and I'm still here... Can't get enough of you guys💃💯

[@Dogman_35]

This has to be the absolute epitome of "Don't judge a book by it's cover."

[@sea6bear]

Man....Unbelievable how many players there are out there, gotta see these guys.....

[@randyclere2330]

The bass players tone is just insane!

[@joaoborralho6511]

6:06 min you guys are CRAZY!!!! Really good bounding with each other, really good music. Awsome job with the precussions too! Please share more of this in Portugal! Really we are sick of spanish reggaeton in our radios......

[@logan1er]

Each musician is a freaking master ! They're don't need to be compared to Snarky who also make this kind of precision surgery :)

[@glenyse]

I loved this...just when you think it's going one way it completely changes course! Loved it!

[@kameronhale1997]

Wes is too cold on that bass 😱😱🔥

[@theadmirables5871]

You right

[@mcsaxdemon]

[@theadmirables5871]

Dope band.

[@samcooke343]

WES MY DUDE. Killed it.

[@rahinhaider]

Such a soulful tune. I keep coming back to it whenever I feel down.

[@joshuavadas]

The amount of caffeine required to play this piece is probably unhealthy.

[@cuties9540]

🤣🤣

[@myname-mz3lo]

8:07 GAHHHHDAAMMMN that synth

[@mikedentino3069]

Saw these guys live last night. They are fucking insane. Blew my mind.

[@NOONband]

[@quartzofcourse]

Came here while listening to the album to say the solos on this track are absolutely NASTY and I love it. Keep up the amazing work y’all!

[@neilnerland6855]

[@pavelvasilyev8981]

Great music!!! Thank you, guys!!!

[@andrewscheldt70]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but this is tighter than Snarky Puppy. Wow. Extremely talented group of musicians. Well done.

[@marcdumont9016]

Snarky's way bigger, and a lot of there stuff is recorded in front of a live audience

[@FunkOsax]

It's not a competition, it's just more great music.

[@PAD___]

Really, really nice! Funky while being tight and groovy! Great job!!!

[@Pankydoos]

Wish you guys were playing at GroundUp Music Festival on Friday also, almost bought the tickets for Saturday aswell just to see you. This is great stuff!

[@ronniebillhicks]

[@MostachoExperiment]

Sick!!!

[@jsteele07189]

that bass player looks like he'd fit in playing Motorhead or Opeth

[@DadGuitarJW]

jsteele07189 Exactly what I wanted to say lol !

[@rubendrakkar]

he might listen to metal

[@billbradleymusic]

Real musicians without stereotypes. Gotta love it.

[@montana9964]

[@chumbo]

Great stuff! There's never too much snarky-like music around :-)

[@francotirador5434]

There's more balls on this band

[@leroykhumalo3408]

@dylan foley well said!

[@briancliftonii9553]

dylan foley bro Corey Henry isn’t and will never be white. That’s just one to name, of many others than played in the band. Get yah facts right on who been in the band

[@georgerussell2947]

@dylan foley Snarky is a great band. it's like saying Djent is just watered down metal. it is its own thing which pushes boundaries which people like my self like the sound of them being pushed

[@christ-stephaneboizi8572]

dylan foley I’ll be real, I agree with half of the statement. We can’t take away the musical prowess that snarky owns. Every band takes their musical influences and uses it to make their own “flavour” of music. These guys are just carrying on what we know as jazz..

[@shoutrite91]

6:00-7:08 awakens me every single time...

[@bmanwells4200]

Whooooaaa!!! SCWEEEEET!! I LIKE this!

[@GordonBurnsVideo]

So glad I found this channel and really love this ensemble. Very nice indeed. Love it guys.
