Rock, jazz, funk and fusion – these pups have it covered…
There are underground bands, bands with a cult following, and then there’s Snarky Puppy. They’ve stacked up four Grammys during their 18-year career and boast a core of 25 members from which founder member, leader and bassist Michael League will draw. 19 members are present on this album.
So how exactly do you describe Snarky Puppy’s music?magazine quote the band as being “religiously unclassifiable” and they’re absolutely right. There are elements of classic jazz, 70s funk,era. This means the answer to the casual question, ‘What sort of music do they play?’ isn’t a short one by any means.
