Fun Fact... Judging by the comments, it appears that a lot of people aren't aware that we've been using 3 drummers since Culcha Vulcha(though only 2 per track. Immigrance & Empire Central is all 3 on every song, as you see.) Means we achieved our goal, to sound like 1 drummer with a gigantic kit... Awesome!
And it is AWESOME!!! seeing the three of you together at the recordings was mind blowing. Keep up the great work. 💪🏻💪🏻
yup!
The Kits are on fire, so much tention built, love it when you throw parts to eachother spur of the moment. Feel the energy! All so good
@@billywilliams9284 Thanks man. Though there wasn’t anything done spur of the moment. Some mistaken switching of parts but definitely very planned and thought out.
It’s truly fantastic. I love the three drummers concept. Three master players blending their unique styles in such a tasty way and having so much fun with it. Love it. The whole band is cooking on this track, especially on those solos from Bob and Shaun. Inspiring and amazing.
THE SOUND ENGINEERS WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NEED A DAMN GRAMMY!!!!!!!!
PHENOMENAL WORK!!!!!!!!
What's not to love? All this, and wait, Shaun Martin? My ears can't take it! Great stuff...
if you know anyone on the committee bring it to their attention... it could happen
That's exactly what I was thinking... When you consider there are 19 musicians and if you listen closely, you can hear each instrument clearly, each of 3 drum sets has slightly different sound etc. ... Just unbelievable!
Say it again!!!!
asin 3 drum sets, only geniuses can pull that off
Even triangle guy killin
😂
Larnell is my hero
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@LarnellLewisMusicI LOVE YOU
He's phenomenal, they all are down to the sound engineer, heck the video folks are amazing too
@@LarnellLewisMusic you really are on another level, your city lights solo in 6/4 5/4, extraordinary 👌
You have chosen well.
Honestly, I don’t know what to think anymore. Musicality of the highest caliber, yet humble. Humbleness, mastery, all smiles, players bouncing and just having fun. Just existing and enjoying it. I’m not saying it’s easy to play these pieces but still, the fun vibe is so strong makes me bounce with them like I’m in that room. Snarky Puppy is one of the best things I’ve come across in my life. Truly a reason to be grateful for life as it is. Thanks a million to everyone involved in this.
Honestly, you are going in the right direction.
Great tribute from humble guy.
3:32 talkbox solo
I'm going to cry...
I can't imagine what goes through Michael League's brain when he's composing such masterpiece
actually, on this album, a bunch of them (if not all) were brought to the group from members. Cant wait to hear the rest!
@@brandonlbartlett yeah but this once is composed by michael league
"Holy crap I have to write 19 parts?"
@@brandonlbartlett they played a song Nathan wrote at the steely Dan show and it was incredible! Gave me DC go-go vibes!
This one is a bit on the "cheesyy side", subjectivity...
4:30 When Larnell makes that face you know shits gonna go down
“Bet!” Lolllll
@@LarnellLewisMusic you're a monster man. Wish I had taken a moment at the session to say hey to you and JT both. Yall are killing it here when I wasn't there lol. Early session on the 8th was my night.
Really liked your work on Binky The Dunlop Sessions....awesome work!
I CAN. NOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS. ALBUM. TO. DROP!!!!
Just don't drop it on the sidewalk...or it will crack the street it's gonna' be so dope!
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS!
I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THEM AUTUMN 22 IN HANNOVER😎
Got the chance to listen a few songs of the album live. Can't wait for it to drop!!!!!
@@rafaelsantana7563 ?
Bob Reynolds is such an incredible saxophone player... that solo was killer. Such amazing musicians ...
He played the solo in Lingus last week in concert and it was absolutely spot on! Crazy dude
Yeah I mean I've probably listened to this album 100X already, and @Bob Reynolds an extra 2-300X on top of that since most times I need to skip back and listen to it over a couple times.
Yeah, got "Michael Brecker vibe/chills"
One of my favorite parts of the whole album is how his solo ends - perfectly hands off back to the rest of the horn section.
1:53
The dude with the triangle thing is killing it - the rhythm his accents add are fire!!!!! 🔥🔥
that thing is indeed called a triangle, my friend! ;)
Marcelo Woloski! Check out his song 'Palermo' from one of Snarky's previous albums, and his solo album 'Mundo Por Conocer' is incredible too.
My little joke comment was going to be that that triangle guy is probably the best triangle guy around to get into this band
@@dczzzz55 If the triangle guy walks, the band is done.
@@oprime9361 powermind indeed✨
The Shaun Martin solo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭
Watching Shaun Martin solo is one of my absolute favorite things. Yet another incredible song, I’m so psyched for the rest of this album.
Ikr, his phrasing is chef kiss
I heard some new tracks live, you will not be disappointed 👍🏻
he's so good, you can just hear how much fun he is having
hell yeah
Yep just a joy in life. If you're not in the best mood you just put on some Snarky and somehow all is well.
Snarky "More band-members than audience members" Puppy at it again hahaha, loveeee it
still cant believe the band is soooooo huge. Theyre so awesome
Shaun's crazy piano uncle vibes hypes you up better than 2 cups of coffee.
OMG WITH TALKBOX! I am on the floor right now
Shaun Martin does it again! His solos are so melodic, singable (is that a word lol?) and never just sound like a random assortment of notes. Perfect!
it is a word and also exactly the one I was looking for - agree 100%! So nice
where I'm from, "singable" is often used to refer to exactly what you described. "technical but singable" as is usually said
Tastefully
Corey Henry's work on 'Lingus' not withstanding, Shaun Martin's solos take a backseat to no one's...
There’s gotta be a word for that!!!! Great comment, I appreciate your insight.
Hell yeah! that’s all I’m saying... hell yeah!!
0:21 - That lick! 👌🏽
🙏🏾
The music is great but it's the percussion I love the most
I'm from Brazil, and this melody remember to much music to my country, this is amazing
Shaun Martin on that talkbox though!!
Shaun Martin's solo absolutely hits the spot on this one 👌
These people live the dream life of musicians. Play among great musicians, Supervised by sound engineers who have good ears and experience, Play in classy gigs and come home with money!
Three drummers??How in the world🤯
Everything is so tight though. No one is overplaying and they create space for each other. Musicality of the highest calibre🙌
They create space because they play one by one, not together :)
"They're listening, they're playing. Listening, playing."
That's snarkey puppy ,everyone is tight and right on .
The difference between musicians and those that want to be .
Larnel is beyond incredible!!
I’m listening this song everydays, again and again😍
The incredible musicianship and seeing everyone full of smiles at the end is everything, such a vibe!
I agree good to see another musician here 1 Love
I’m so glad to see you here man you were my child hood lmao and also got so much more into you too cause you played guitar aswell!
Simply spellbound watching Snarky Puppy perform this evening at Wembley Arena. Almost too much to take in. They are beyond brilliant.
best concert I've been at since seeing them November 2019 at Royal Albert Hall
I love the fact that Shaun Martin hits his octaver just in time for his last three notes. Absolutely love this song!
Haha yeah that was tight!
they look so happy playing their music
Bob Reynolds solo please ... and Shaun Martin one ..please again ...hmmm those cats really made my ears meow ! Time to take a glass of fresh milk before roaring on this fayaaa upcoming album !!
Bob Raynolds and Shaun Martin, greats solos! WooooooooooW! Michel League is the moster of arranjers!! The begin of music with samba, is wonder!
makes me feel just like i did watching their videos in 2014
Same!!!!
There is a magical moment everytime Shaun Martin is doing solo, he makes everyone nodding hard and smiling.
LARNELL!!!! Hahahaha, with the excellent, almost-too-eager fade-out on the ending... got me dying, dude! hahahahahaha
Bob Reynolds went absolutely hard
4:32 larnells face had me dying and he was waiting for that moment too lmao
Sean Martin + vocoder = magic
Bob man, that solo was beautiful!!!! I hear Chris Potter all over the place :)🔥🔥🔥
There are more percussion instruments in this room than I have seen throughout my entire life, and yet nothing sounds cluttered. Amazing.
The drummer with his hat backwards is so chill bro love it
that shaun martin solo with that high note sends chills every time
The dynamics on that snare roll at 3:12 are absolutely insane
It's two different drummers, one takes over half way through. Might be JT as him and Larnell do it again in reverse on the last chorus. Such a cool effect.
@@samcooke343 It's so good
3:52 that lick does something to me and I don’t know how to describe it 😪
3:34 Shaun went crazy bro, that solo spoke to my soul man great job guys, with love❤️❤️❤️
That’s what I’m talking about !!!!!!! Ohhhh we all were missing this format !👌🏿👌🏿😩😩🙌🏿🙌🏿😂😂😂 thank you my ears appreciate!!!!
Two notes in and we makin stank faces!!! Close ethe door!! you letting all the funk out!!!!
Everyone is amazing but I just can never get past Nate Werth's gloriously joyful energy - he always looks like he's having the time of his life :)
Of course, with Bobby looking underwhelmed af like he always seems to be lol
He has the same energy for his shows too. I thought he stole the show at the concert I went to.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 Bobby always looks like he's just there for the paycheck and can't wait to clock out lmao
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 lol yeah Bobby is like Mono Neon in the sense that they are very unexpressive outside their instrument, but they are master of their craft.
Best band ever
This might be the best ad for Audio Technica m50x headphones ever!
Jazz Samba Fusion ! Out of this world !!
JT's drum fill at 4:11 combined with Shaun's slow bend and vibrato is 😍🤩
yessss dudee insane moment, how can many musicians blend and create so weell
Shaun Martin' solo is the perfect example of a 4-bar scheme solo. The structure of the ideas and how he does the crescendo throughout the solo is absolutely amazing!
I'm a professional musician but the way you all lock step with such grace and enthusiastic joyful synchronising is beyond. You should be the UN special envoy or something - 'cause you take humanity to a higher plain. Just remarkable!!!!
I love the handoff drumroll between Larnell and JT at 3:12 and the matching handoff between JT and Larnell at 4:32 is so tasty. I like the contrast in styles - JT's is smooth and Larnell brings so much power to his to launch everyone into the next section.
It never fails to amaze me how clean everything is with so many musicians. I can't imagine having Jason Thomas, Larnell Lewis or Jamison Ross on drums and thinking "You know what we need? ... More drums!"
Shaun Martin killing it!
Modern day funky orchestra😊
How many people does it take to make a song great? YES
2:03 that last lick of Bob’s solo 😮💨😮💨
yesss
Whole solo, my God...
these guys are recording some of the best music of all time
Smiles in the audience's faces as the song ends, says it all! Man what a groove!
4:32 - me waiting for the album to drop
I first saw Bob Reynolds playing in John Mayer’s band and I’ve been a fan ever since. Love to hear his solos
DOMi and JD Beck come out with their album last night, and now this? Awesome!
I‘m sitting here at night on my balcony and can‘t stop grinning and bouncing 😍
What a masterpiece 🙏
Have not stopped listening, jamming and groovin' to TRINITY every day for two weeks straight! I get home tonight and this gem pops up on my screen. I cant get enough. Thanks for the music boyz! Your evolution and "industry message" speaks for itself through the tunes... music for the soul, heart and brain and a constant creation of musical space for everyone to gel perfectly and get everything across. Come to Ecuador please!!! You have quite the following here. Believe me. Your sound on live records is unmatched now. Shout out to Nic and your incredible sound and production crew, they're amazing artists as well. Keep it coming please!
This comment makes me want to see them with you! 10 years plus I’ve loved them and only recently found a friend who appreciates them. I’m always introducing my friends to the music!
Bob Reynolds take a bow!!!!!
Yes! Plus I have discovered his videos on You Tube he is a great guy!
💯
@@francesschaeferWHAT A SOLO!!!
Reminds me of my covid days, I used to listen to this all day till night back then.
YES BOB. What a solo! Cant wait for the album and more of these vids 😀😀
Hot dayum. Not only the playing.... The recording and mixing is a masterpiece in itself, each and every track the Puppy releases.
Thank you...
@@nichard1 You're very welcome. I preordered the album not just for the music itself but also for the way it sounds. Whenever a recording makes me smile while listening to it, it must be *good* . :-)
Also, I don't think enough people understand what an engineer's nightmare recordings like this can be, with a literal *crowd* in the room, risks of mics picking up sounds from other instruments, from people moving, cross-talk, it must be an insane job to position everything to make it work like you made it work.
@ 1:27 Michael's bass fill handed bass face to both percussionists. Amazing as always
C'EST JUSTE PAS POSSIBLE DE JOUER COMME CA !!! Ce groupe, ces musiciens, sont magnifiques. Je suis en extase TOTALE !!! Grosse claque de Shaun et son stratosphérique solo... Les percus de malade et les cuivres... J'y RETOURNE !!!
Bruh... the synergy... the chemistry... the space... bruh... the amount of space in the mix... uncluttered.... masterful.
Yeah - I focused in on that space, too. Laser-cut.
And with three entire drumsets, to boot.
the SPACE! came here to say that
I'm so glad Daniel Radcliffe gave up acting to found Snarky Puppy.
Mike, Sean, Bob, Mark, Shaun and the rest of the guys.... bravo. You're all just stellar.
LET'S GOOOOOO SHAUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
Top notch sound engineering!!!
This mix is perfect. It's so good. Congrats Nic Hard and Dave McNair.
When you have Larnell behind a kit, he's the only drummer you need!!
but they do have 3 more drummers there... ;-)
Killer! It feels like the band is back together on these videos! Gives me 'We Like It Here' vibes and that was one of my favorite albums ever. Love it!
Percussion brazilian music. Perfect !!!
Beautiful! In Brazil we called this kind of rhythm « Samba Rock » and « Maracatú » 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Em que parte tem maracatu?
onde cê tá ouvindo maracatu aí?
Matheus Almeida - Thank you for your comment! You just got me into a bunny trail of videos to learn more about Maracatú :) Any time I think of Brazilian music immediately comes to mind Samba or Bossa Nova but had not heard of Maracatú before. Any other brazilian rhythms you could share?
@@JONCOR2004 , search for "ijexá".
@@JONCOR2004 Any time, man! We are very proud of our music history. Maybe you’ll get into “chorinho” e “frevo” too. 👍🏽😁
Wow…! It’s so great to see a group of very talented musicians killin’ it …!
SAMBA!!! Got the reference! Brazil salutes you.
From the two singles, you can tell this album is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see them in April!
Apr 21 is sooooo faaaaar away
@@brandonlbartlett March for me😩 at least it’s all snarky though! Just saw them open for steely Dan-all new stuff-45 minutes! Can’t wait to get to see them playing a whole show for their fans!
I'll have to book another ticket. I saw them back in April of this year and I was stunned, and so were my friends that I brought along and hadn't listened to them before.
What can I say , Snarky Puppy you have done it again as all the band members are Stars. You are redefining the whole music concept. You have a fan all the Africa in particular Zambia. I cannot wait for album release.
Indeed Zambia love SP! Awesome musicians and musicianship🙌🏽🙌🏽
Killer solo by Shaun Martin! I love all of this.
Bob Reynolds....Damn. You hear a solo like and that, and your first thought is to jump out your seat and think - I hear Brecker; I hear a little Pickett,; even a little sbit of sparseness like Whalum - but then I suppose that is disrespectful to Mr. Reynolds. Who has cultivated his own sound. What a talent. I want more!!!
They're all in there! (and many, many more) Thanks, Bruce. 🙏
Michael League is a GENIUS...
I have been listening to this track every single day this week! It’s smooth, groovy and so much fun!
I love you guys so much, and cannot WAIT to have lunch with y'all. Michael, you're awesome!!!! All of you are amazing. Thank you for this.
Can I have lunch with you guys? I make great onion soup
May I join also? I make a banging mushroom soup.
I want to come as well! I eat hell of a lot.
Can I come? I'll bring dessert!
These are a few of my favourite things.
I FELT the brazilian groove with the percussion in the beginning and the triangle. I'm brazilian, so I just looove it! great job, you guys, as usual. I can't stop listening to it, y'all made my day!
This screams samba fusión all Over The place. greetings from Chile.
Com certeza usaram ritmos brasileiros, muito bem aplicados, diga-se por sinal
As a brazilian, I felt the exact same thing. These guys are gods!
Feliz de ver os amigos aqui
Sonzeraaa
Snarky Puppy has done it again with some of the best musicians performing in a live setting while matching them with perfectly engineered sites and sounds.
Thank you.
You guys are so damned good. One of the best groups ever IMO. Thank you.
Eine Bassitin, mit der ich um die Welt Touren würde UND extrem coole Big Big Band Danke HR
Having 3 drummers?
This is nothing short of a work of art. The sound engineers are not taking chances here.
I mean. Everything about this is a whole essay of excellence.
Shaun!!!!
Wah! Ok.
This is amazing! And how many drummers and percussionists is too many? Apparently never enough at this caliber!!
