Snarky Puppy

*2008 Dallas Observer Music Award Winner (Best Jazz Act)*

We are a large ensemble devoted to bringing uncompromised, original music to a non-exclusive audience. In a crazy, twisted way, we play dance music. It's also art music. I suppose it's just music.

Snarky Puppy's third album is now available for pre-order (no tax, free shippping)! Which means that if you order it now, you'll get it by the first week of September instead of having to wait until September 26th like the rest of the world. And it also means you get a sweet SP sticker for free as well as sweet advance mixes from the album and some sweet viedos of us recording it. Sweet.

And a cute little blurb...

"Bring Us the Bright is Snarky Puppy's most ambitious, eclectic, and hard-hitting release to date. It features 8 tracks from 5 different composers and a slew of guest artists including violin prodigy Zach Brock, "Lefthand" Kevin Williams, Bobby Sparks, Jose Aponte, Jorge Ginorio, Mark Lettieri, and William Barnes, and particularly highlights the talents of SP members Bernard Wright, Bill Laurance, and Robert "Sput" Searight. From klezmer to hip hop to Brazilian funk, this is by far the best representation of Snarky Puppy's live energy and spontaneity."
