Snarky Puppy • Empire Central ©️ GroundUP Music 2022 #fusion
Snarky Puppy 2 октября начали свой европейский тур концертом в Дублине, а я в этот день начал слушать их новый альбом Empire Central, который вышел 30 сентября и содержит 16 свежих вещей, записанных в студии Далласа. В этом городе создавался этот большой коллектив из 20 человек, но недавно один погиб в автокатастрофе в возрасте 58 лет - это был Bernard Wright (его соло на синтезаторе слышено в треке Take It!). Одиннадцать участников группы сочинили мелодии на темы связанные с местами этого города или ассоциирующиеся с музыкантами, которые стали здесь популярными. Наше правило состоит в том, что это не может звучать так, как звучало раньше. Музыка должна чувствовать, что она куда-то движется. Мы не сдаемся, играя вместе уже 18 лет, и знаем, кто мы такие, а также знаем, куда хотим двигаться, постоянно внедряя новые идеи в музыку, - сказал Michael League. Запись проходила в студии с публикой, и для начала, я советую посмотреть эту запись, что бы понять атмосферу замечательной коллективной медитации. ©️ GroundUP Music 2022 Bob Lanzetti - Electric guitar Mark Lettieri - Electric guitar Chris McQueen - Electric guitar Justin Stanton - Wurlitzer, Prophet 10, trumpet Bobby Sparks - Hammond B3 organ, ARP String Ensemble, Minimoog Model D Bill Laurance - Fender Rhodes Mark 8, Yamaha CP70 piano, Minimoog Model D Shaun Martin - Talkbox, Vocoder, Moog Little Phatty, Korg Kronos Zach Brock - Violin Mike “Maz” Maher - Trumpet Jay Jennings - Trumpet & flugelhorn Chris Bullock - Bass clarinet & tenor sax Bob Reynolds - Tenor & soprano saxes Michael League - Electric bass Nate Werth - Percussion Keita Ogawa - Percussion Marcelo Woloski - Percussion Jason “JT” Thomas - Drums Larnell Lewis - Drums Jamison Ross - Drums #fusion
