In February of 2015, Grammy Award-winning band Snarky Puppy recorded Family Dinner Volume Two in front of a live studio audience with guest instrumentalists and vocalists from all over the world. The project is a true testament for showing first-hand how music can be a bridge between diverse cultures from countries from all over the world to create a unifying musical statement for the average listener or the devout music-connoisseur.
Texas collective Snarky Puppy are more cult than band. Every member has a day job – generally with some big shot pop star – but they save their best for these large ensemble gatherings when “the family” meets and the trademark Snarky grooves go down.
The Family Dinner idea involves luring unsuspecting collaborators into the Puppy den, recording (and filming) the results live. Since Volume One produced a Grammy-winning performance from Lalah Hathaway, one imagines the Puppy’s founder, bassist Michael Leagues, is finding the guests a little easier to book these days. On Volume Two, grandees like David Crosby, Salif Keita and Susana Baca rub shoulders with rising stars like folk-jazz vocalist Becca Stevens and the soon-to-be-massive prodigy Jacob Collier.
