SNARKY PUPPY

It’s Saturday Night everywhere at least once a week…. it’s my turn tonight.  Jazz and Mozart are my preferred non-toxic escape from reality when I need a Jolt of Joy you can only get from artistic perfection……  In this masterpiece of jazz perfection, the Grammy Award winnering group Snarky Puppy performs.  Cory Henry – keyboards (solo) – demonstrates why electronic keyboards were invented in a solo performance that is beyond genius!  We are not worthy of such sounds on this planet……

Snarky Puppy is a Brooklyn, New York-based instrumental fusion band led by Grammy Award-winning bassist, composer and producer Michael League.
