Snarky Puppy Release First In Series Of Bonus Tracks From Immigrance Recording Sessions Today Hear “Embossed” here Massive 98-date, 20-country 2019 world tour underway. UK headline dates in November + Love Supreme in July April 26, 2019 – Snarky Puppy, who have already kicked off their massive 98-date, 20-country world tour, have a special gift for fans – a series of bonus and extended tracks from the recording session for their latest album Immigrance. “Embossed,” written by Snarky Puppy member Bill Laurance, is out today, and the remaining five tracks will be released throughout the remainder of 2019. Immigrance is the follow-up to 2016’s GRAMMY-winning Culcha Vulcha. “During the Immigrance sessions, we recorded more songs than we could squeeze onto the album,” says band leader Michael League. “So, over the course of the year, we'll be releasing three brand new, full- length compositions by Bill Laurance, Marcelo Woloski, and Bob Reynolds, as well as extended versions of three of the album's tracks.” Laurance says of the track, "Embossed is a reaction to the social, political and environmental anxiety of the times. It's a musical call to arms, asking the listener to engage both as an individual and as a member of larger movements for change." Immigrance has garnered a wide swath of critical praise including: The Times ★★★★ “it’s a lot of fun” Mojo ★★★★ “Immigrance is a grown–up affair and Snarky Puppy’s best yet” Evening Standard “vintage Snarky Puppy” Classic Rock Presents Prog “hip and hopeful thrills” Record Collector ★★★★ Snarky Puppy – 2019 UK & Ireland Tour Dates July 6 - Love Supreme Festival - Glynde, UK Nov 6 – O2 Academy – Bournemouth, UK Nov 7 – Rock City – Nottingham, UK Nov 8 – O2 Academy – Bristol, UK Nov 9 – O2 Academy – Oxford, UK Nov 11 - Ulster Hall - Belfast, IE Nov 12 - Olympia - Dublin, IE Nov 14 – Royal Albert Hall – London, UK Nov 15 – O2 Apollo – Manchester, UK Nov 16 – Barrowlands – Glasgow, UK For more information on Snarky Puppy, please contact Republic Media [email protected] 020 3213 0135 snarkypuppy.com/ facebook.com/snarkypuppy twitter.com/realsnarkypuppy instagram.com/snarkypuppy/ groundupmusic.net/ 7 Broadbent Close, Highgate Village, London, N6 5JW t 020 3213 0135 f 020 8348 7776 e [email protected] www.republicmedia.net @republic_media .

The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

Snarky Puppy's Eye-Popping New Animated Video Is a Surreal Visual
Snarky Puppy’s Eye-Popping New Animated Video Is A Surreal Visual Adventure 68-date 2019 World Tour currently hits 19 countries, more shows to be added Watch the video for “Bad Kids to the Back” here New album Immigrance out March 15th on GroundUP Music February 22, 2019 – Inspired by films like Richard Linklater’s Waking Life, Ralph Bakshi’s American Pop and Disney’s 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the surreal video for Snarky Puppy’s “Bad Kids To The Back” utilizes rotoscoped visuals to turn an in-studio performance into one of the wildest animated videos you will see this year. Animator/co-director Michaël Alcaras drew frame-by-frame over live footage of the band recording the song in studio (shot by the video’s other co- director, Stella K), and turned it into an eye-popping four minutes and forty-five seconds. The Snarky horn section suddenly have animal heads; band members shoot lasers from their eyes and tall buildings dance along to the song’s hypnotic grooves. “Bad Kids to the Back,” a “crisp, strutting” (Rolling Stone) track written by Snarky Puppy member Justin Stanton, comes from the group’s upcoming album Immigrance, out March 15th on GroundUP Music. A global touring dynamo who have played to thousands of fans at shows on six continents, Snarky Puppy will embark on another ambitious world tour in 2019. This weekend, the band will be accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles before officially kicking off the 68-date world tour April 11th in Osaka, Japan.

Snarky Puppy Releasing Moodier, Raw New Album Immigrance March 15th 2019 on GroundUP Music 2019 Tour Dates – UK Tour Announcement 25th Feb. Group performs with L.A. Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall Feb 23. World tour begins in April Multiple GRAMMY-winners host 3rd annual GroundUP Music Festival in Miami Beach February 8-10 Listen to new song ‘Xavi’ here Pre-order Immigrance here Snarky Puppy, the three-time GRAMMY-winning genre-defying collective, will release their new album Immigrance on March 15th via GroundUP Music. Like their last album, 2016’s GRAMMY-winning Culcha Vulcha, Immigrance is a studio project, and it features most of the same musicians. And though it shares that project’s ace musicianship and dynamic, kinetic spirit, it is also rawer and moodier than its predecessor. Several of the compositions put a new-found emphasis on delivering simpler, streamlined impact, and bassist, composer and bandleader Michael League, as producer on the album, left in the tiny flubs and unvarnished textures that accompany great organic performances. Immigrance is also all about movement. “The idea here is that everything is fluid, that everything is always moving and that we’re all in a constant state of immigration,” explains League, who founded Snarky Puppy in 2003 and has helmed it into one of the most popular, virtuosic and influential bands of the current jazz and instrumental-music renaissance. “Obviously the album’s title is not without political undertones.” But Immigrance doesn’t aim to scold or condescend; rather, its mission is one of uplift, a testament to what humanity can achieve when cultures are able to come together without fear.

Snarky Puppy – Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Snarky Puppy – Live At The Royal Albert Hall (50:22 + 48:57, 2 CD, 3 LP, GroundUp Music, 2020) Erstaunlich, welche Acts abseits des allgemeinen Mainstreams mittlerweile die Royal Albert Hall füllen. Es gibt also doch noch Hoffnung für den guten Geschmack. Das formidable amerikanische Musikerkollektiv Snarky Puppy um Bandleader Michael League machte auf seiner Tour im letzten Jahr ebenfalls in der altehrwürdigen Veranstaltungsstätte in London Halt. Bei diesem Livealbum stand logischerweise der Fokus auf dem letzten Studioalbum „Immigrance„, welches gleich mit sechs Songs vertreten ist. Die Setlist fokussiert sich trotz der inzwischen recht umfangreichen Diskografie der Amerikaner neben dem Material von ‚Immigrance‘ lediglich auf weiteres Material aus den Alben „We Like It Here“ (2014), „Culcha Vulcha“ (2016), sowie überraschenderweise zwei Songs aus der wesentlich jazzigeren Frühphase „The World Is Getting Smaller“ (2007), die aber wesentlich luftiger und dem sonstigen Material angepasst daherkommen. Warum sich Snarky Puppy über die Jahre mittlerweile eine recht breite, teils altersmäßig sehr junge Fanbasis erspielt haben, liegt vor allem im differenzierten Stilmix begründet, der sich eben recht weit außerhalb des reinen Jazz bzw. Jazz Rocks bewegt. Da sind Elemente aus Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul, Latin, Electronic oder World Music zu vernehmen, zudem vorangetrieben durch feingliedrige, mitreißende Rhythmik und sehr lässiges Feeling. Die sehr große Besetzung versteht sich immer als Einheit und z.B. trotz der vierfachen(!) Keyboardpower wirkt hier nichts überladen, sondern immer exakt auf den Punkt gebracht. Zudem gelingt es, moderne Klangästhetik mit herrlich analogen Sounds aus den Keyboardburgen zu vereinen, die bisweilen durch messerscharfe Bläsersätze gewürzt werden. Die Band interpretiert das Songmaterial im Vergleich zu den Ursprungsversionen keineswegs anders oder bricht die Songstrukturen komplett auf, dafür werden jedoch die Soloparts beliebig verändert bzw.

Is This Jazz? Newport Jazz Festival '17: Where to Start
Is This Jazz? Newport Jazz Festival ’17: Where To Start On Friday, August 5, the world’s best jazz artists will once again make their yearly pilgrimage to Fort Adams for another exciting Newport Jazz Festival. Over the past few years, the festival has been stepping up the line-ups and has done an amazing job of balancing the old guard with the young lions, simultaneously showing how this music has gotten to where it is and where it’s headed next. The diversity of groups and sounds is no less prevalent this year, with what has to be one of the more stacked bills in recent history. While we may not be able to hit on every “must see” act in this feature, here is a glimpse into who to watch out for and the sets you’ll probably be running to. For the past few years, Snarky Puppy has been a relentless force in the international jazz scene. Formed in 2003 by composer/bassist Micheal League, this powerhouse ensemble has performed thousands of shows across six continents, and has collaborated with Lalah Hathaway, Laura Mvula, Salif Keïta, David Crosby, N’Dambi, Becca Stevens and Jacob Collier. Their intricately arranged and flawlessly executed charts are as stunning as the whirlwind improvisations traded off throughout the group. I can’t say this enough: Cécile McLorin Salvant is the best jazz vocalist working today and absolutely one of the all-time heavies. Her melodic phrasing and command of the depths of her voice are truly unmatched. Beyond her once-in-a-generation talent, her band is loaded with chops, giving this ensemble an edge in crafting unique interpretations of old favorites and outstanding originals and letting Salvant’s voice stretch and dance above the music swirling around her.

Schneller, Höher, Lauter Virtuosität in Populären Musiken
2017-07-26 12-29-29 --- Projekt: transcript.anzeigen / Dokument: FAX ID 0327467428330502|(S. 1- 2) VOR3592.p 467428330510 Aus: Thomas Phleps (verst.) (Hg.) Schneller, höher, lauter Virtuosität in populären Musiken August 2017, 188 Seiten, kart., zahlr. Abb. , 19,99 €, ISBN 978-3-8376-3592-8 Der Zusammenhang zwischen Virtuosität und Popularität scheint – denkt man an Musiker wie Jimi Hendrix, Charlie Parker oder auch den »Fernsehgeiger« David Gar- rett – auf der Hand zu liegen. Aber die Sache ist komplexer und widersprüchlicher als erwartet: Virtuosität ist konstitutiv für zahlreiche populäre Musiken von Jazz über Bluegrass und Metal bis zum HipHop. Zugleich kann fehlende instrumentale oder vokale Technik als Ausweis von Authentizität gelten. Und mitunter soll Virtuosität po- puläre Rezeptionsmodi geradezu verhindern. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen: Worin gründet die Faszination an und der Argwohn gegenüber der Virtuosität – geht es vor allem um das zirzensische Element, das in Ausdrücken wie »Griffbrettakrobat« oder »Tastenzauberer« durchscheint? Und: Wel- che Parallelen und Unterschiede zum Diskurs innerhalb der »E«-Musik lassen sich beobachten? Gibt es eine spezifische Virtuosität der populären Musik oder tendiert virtuose Musik generell zur Popularität? Thomas Phleps (Prof. Dr.) (verst. 2017) lehrte am Institut für Musikwissenschaft und Musikpädagogik der Universität Gießen.
