The Visual Suite 51
With every new project--hell, with every show they play--Snarky Puppy hopes to do something they've never done before. With their new album, Family Dinner, Volume 2, the eclectic, unclassifiable jazz/funk/global collective has set their sights higher than ever.
"We had a wish list of artists we wanted to collaborate with, from a really wide array of styles," says bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger Michael League. "We tried to come up with different demographics, nationalities, even age groups. And then we wanted to write arrangements that the band would really shine on, but would also truly enhance the essence of each artist."
The result is a free-wheeling, wide-ranging collection, recorded live in New Orleans, featuring an astonishing list of musicians from around the world, including Susana Baca, Charlie Hunter, Salif Keita, Laura Mvula, David Crosby, and an all-star group of Big Easy players including Ivan Neville and Terence Blanchard. Various combinations of the three-dozen members of Snarky Puppy (known as "The Fam") act as the house band for an unprecedented journey through different sounds, genres, and cultures.
