JEFF, I was wondering when you would get to this one. It is probably my favorite Snarky Puppy tune in a while. It has everything composition and performance wise, and emotionally speaking just leaves me happy and smiling.
Michael League is a genius, and the guys are just SUPER talented!

This song has been an earworm since I heard it 20 seconds after the release!!
Thanks for the reaction... you are the man!

[Jimboblay]

I've NEVER seen a band so happy to be playing together...

Choices. So many players making such perfect choices..

[jcrawford]

Yeah Jeff, thanks, just another awesome Snarky track. It doesn't have the fireworks of Lingus or What About Me, but just a smooth, feel good groove all the way through. Empire Central, which will be released in full next month, has a shuffle tune called "R/L's" which I think you'll really like too.

[FAMUCHOLLY]

The more times you listen to this, the better it gets!
You mentioned Larnells roll towards the end of the song... the fill. I noticed the 3 drummers taking turns playing snare and kick for different passages with the other two guys playing "zones"; highhats and crash cymbals or tom fills and off-beat stuff on the cymbals. Just REALLY great coordination between 3 pros; Larnell, "JT" Thomas, and the youngster Jamison Ross.

Just a REALLY great performance by this ensamble!

Can't wait to see this reaction !!! I hope You feel that fresh brazilian breeze that uplift the self into a joyous state!

[zatoichiMiyamoto]

Oh Yes please Jeff do some Bob Reynold"s ones! Closer and Feedback are two amazing tunes!

[dbcanada]

Thanks, Jeff. It's amazing how so many players can stay locked in to the groove together.

If you havent seen it already, you should react to a performance from the Bob Reynolds Guitar Band called Can't Wait for Perfect. Awesome live performance with a killer long form Mark Lettieri solo.

I love how these guys communicate through music, how they communicate with each other, the way they layer sounds without muddying everything up. And still each listen brings something new that I hadn't heard before. I have a feeling Empire Central is going to be on REPEAT for quite a while!

Jeff to help you on your Bob Reynolds rabbit hole dive, do check out Bob Reynolds Guitar Band - all 6 songs are fabulous. He also has his YouTube channel and one of my favorite things was seeing his behind the scenes when Snarky Puppy did the Immigrance album - so cool to see their process and how all that chaotic energy transforms into incredible music.

[mgbasinski]

Yep, another super fun tune (I had to do a transcription, just obsessed). It's a really interesting composition in so many ways - the basic material is pretty straightforward but there are so many small tweaks, and as always, the arrangement / orchestration is brilliant.

[peterkoeppl]

I am going make an allusion to the Rippingtons....a group that I truly admire. But Snarky Puppy brings that genre to much higher technical level and with more voice and energy.

[zatoichiMiyamoto]

Congratz on reaching the 10K Milestone Jeff!! You rock!!!

[craigchapman]

Absolutely ridiculous. All that talent and they leave egos at the door. The drum section😳😂 what in the world! Incredible!!! Thank you for the reaction!

[moikkis]

5:18 larnell's face is priceless 😆❤

[lisedonsgrnning]

Just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅🙂🙃🙂😍🥰. Thank you so much for making a reaction to this one as well with Snarky Puppy🥰💚🤗.

Us: "Hey Michael League....can Snarky Puppy do Brazilian?" Snarky Puppy: "Hold our beers."

[ThumperKJFK]

😄😄👍👍👍 loved the field they played around in. yeh

[kennethminer]

Hey bro, there is this song called Belmont on the (Empire Central Project) that has an instrument that we don`t see much, taken a very very nice solo, especially in a band this size .I know you will be blown away once you React to it!!

[Catz-ptlo]

Excellent stuff, what a track yet again
