Yesterday I was treated to an amazing concert performed by a group I have only recently discovered, Snarky Puppy.

If you are a fan of modern jazz music you probably already know of Snarky Puppy and their music. For me however their performance in the Melbourne Recital Centre was a real eye (ear) opener.

Here lead guitarist Mark Lettieri epitomizes the sense of fun and brilliant musicianship exuded by all nine members of the band. I have never seen a band on stage loving what they are doing and having an absolutely ball about it they way Snarky Puppy did.

I’m still not a convert to jazz but Snarky Puppy have peaked my interest for more.
