Among those bands that are capable of combining music of different descent and origin a special place must be granted to Snarky Puppy, a musical collective based in New York lead by bass player Micheal League.
One of the permanent band member is of course Cory Henry, a multifaceted keyboard player with a huge musical taste ranging from jazz to soul, reaching ethnic sounds such as afro-funk and even indian music impressions. Drummer Larnell Lewis deserves a special mention as well, being one of the rising new stars of the last ten years, having played before with the incredible Roby Botos (soon on this blog).
The band’s latest effort, Culcha Vulcha, only strengthens what I thought: great imagination and the ability to blend jazz-rock and mercyless funky with lively mastery.
After “We like it here”, this is yet another jewel added to our collection.
