Hey Steemit!
As I inted to do this "Get Some Jazz Steemit" posts a daily thing when time allows me to, today I'm sharing with you an amazing live performance by the great band Snarky Puppy.
The song is called "Lingus", and to me is the best performance of the band so far.
Snarky Puppy is one of those new "Jazzy / Funky / Electric / etc* bands, but they managed to be unique.
With a formation that usually changes, they have 2 drummers they usually switch based on availability, there are many shows where they play with fewer musicians, others with more, etc, they succesfully created an unique sound and project.
This album, "We like it here" is an album that was entirely recorded live with an audience. They are all using headphones for that purpose, and they managed to get an amazing sound.
...Oh man they sound solid and groovy!!, and Cory Henry's solo (synth) makes you want to be re-born again several times to see if you get the talent you need from an early age to play close to that.
You can even see the other keyboardist just "leaving" the instrument due to what Henry played.
One thing I truly loved about this video, is seeing people dancing on the control room, and feel the joy of all the audience in such an incredible performance.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I first watched and listened it.
