risingson Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 A great band I've been listening to based now in Brooklyn NYC, originally from Texas. They're all serious players. Not live bass on this particular tune (synth) but still absolutely superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's based in London but travels over to the states for gigs/tours etc. The fisrt time I met the bass player was in Otley... a tiny place just about 20 mins north of Leeds. Easy man, Scott.

Bilbo Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Great stuff but I am wondering why so many people? I can only hear what about 40% of them are there for . Seriously, though. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Got tosay I didn't think much of that. Perhaps a case of 'too many cooks', but it seemed like everyone was just waiting for their moment in the spotlight as opposed to acting as a cohesive unit. In that sense, I found the song a bit disjointed and the Hammond organ sounding solo near the end was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldbass Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Snarky Puppy are immense! I've been digging them for a few months now, and I just received delivery of their CD/DVD the other week. The more you listen to it the more you get out of it, which I love! The fact that there are so many musicians but it doesn't sound like it is testament to their composition and arranging skills I reckon. I also love the fact that they don't fall into cliched funk riffs and always take the music somewhere interesting. In my opinion they are an incredibly cohesive unit with excellent support playing and subtleties that come from a deep understanding of music and performance.
