Snarky Puppy - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Snarky Puppy isn't exactly a jazz band. It's not a fusion band and definitely not a jam band. It's probably best to heed the advice of Nate Chinen (New York Times), who said in an online discussion of the group, "take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they are." aren't.« Snarky Puppy, winner of several Grammy awards, is a kind of collective with up to 25 members in regular rotation. Each of them has busy schedules as sidemen (with artists like Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo), producers (for Kirk Franklin, David Crosby and Salif Keïta) and solo artists. At its core, the band represents the convergence of black and white American music culture with diverse accents from around the world. Japan, Argentina, Canada, Great Britain and Puerto Rico are all represented in the group. But even more than the cultural diversity of the individual musicians, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy's music is the joy of making music together and the constant striving for creative growth.
