OK, many of you already know about this band.  I’ve been into them for a few years now.  Wow, lots of talent working together here.  I’m a big Cory Henry fan, of course.  How can I not respect such a talented keyboard player.

Here’s the quintessential Snarky Puppy recording, complete with the audience in the studio.  It’s Lingus!

Those who know me are aware of my love for jazz, particularly Chick Corea. I’ve followed him and heard him performance since the 1970s.  He’s a virtuoso player, but also so very creative.  Each year, he takes new ideas on the road and expresses them by playing with a wide range of other amazing musicians.

Here’s an example. Bobby McFerrin is also a virtuoso. His voice is more than a voice.  He can move between genres with seeming ease.

Here is Bobby and Chick, playing the well-known Chick composition, Spain.

You’re welcome.

OK, I must admit that I just discovered this recently. At one of our jazz hangs, our drummer suggested a link to this tune. I checked it out at home. Whoa!  So cool.  Amazing rhythms and so tight.

I think I’ll have more to say about that after I get done being blown away.
