Description:Die vierfachen Grammy-Gewinner Snarky Puppy mit ihrem brandneuen (Live-In-)Studioalbum "Empire Central"! Eine wechselnde Besetzung mit einigen der talentiertesten Musiker und Multi-Instrumentalisten der Welt sorgt für einen wirklich einzigartigen Sound in der Welt des Jazz-Fusion. Ihr neues Audio- und Videoalbum Empire Central ist ein Liebesbrief an Dallas und zeigt, dass Snarky Puppy zu ihren Funk- und Gospel-Wurzeln zurückkehren. Snarky Puppy, die genreübergreifende Superband, ist ihrer Geburtsstadt Dallas sehr ähnlich. Auf Empire Central ist das eklektische 19-köpfige Fusion-Ensemble gro� und kühn, chillig und entspannt, verwurzelt in der heimischen Kultur und gleichzeitig nach au�en gerichtet, zukunftsorientiert. Mit 16 neuen Kompositionen, darunter der Song "Take It!" - bedauerlicherweise der letzte aufgenommene Auftritt des 80er-Jahre-Funkstars Bernard Wright, den Snarky-Leader Michael League als gottähnliche Figur bezeichnet - blickt die Gruppe voller Zuneigung auf ihre Ursprünge und ist überzeugt von der ausgefeilten Kraft, mit der ihre Mitglieder den einzigartigen Snarky-Puppy-Sound weiter ausbauen. -
2022 release. Snarky Puppy, the genre-defying super-band, is a lot like Dallas, city of it's birth. On Empire Central the eclectic 19-piece electric ensemble is big and bold, chill and laid back, rooted in it's native culture while reaching outward, forward-bound. With 16 new compositions including the song "Take It!" - regrettably, the last recorded performance of '80s funk star Bernard Wright, who Snarky ringleader Michael League identifies as a Godfather-like figure - the group looks fondly at where it's come from, confident in the polished power from which it's members continue to build the unique Snarky Puppy sound. That sound now rises like a skyscraper from a 21st century orchestra comprising three guitarists, at least four keyboardists, two brass, two reeds, a violinist, multiple percussionists and drummers and the accomplished yet modest League keeping it all together with his bass. That lineup was unimaginable when ten friends enrolled in the jazz program of University of North Texas (aka North Texas State) in Denton, 30 miles from Dallas, first convened in 2004. But as Snarky Puppy's core members moved to the city and were embraced by the region's Black churches and stalwarts of that community's music, they matured.
"Empire Central" is an electrifying CD release by the acclaimed jazz-fusion collective Snarky Puppy, produced under the renowned label GROUNDUP MUSIC. This album captures the band's signature blend of funk, jazz, and world music influences across a vibrant set of tracks recorded live in Dallas, Texas. "Empire Central" pays homage to the musical heritage of their home state while pushing creative boundaries with intricate arrangements and dynamic improvisation. Snarky Puppy has earned multiple Grammy Awards for their innovative approach and virtuosic musicianship, establishing themselves as leaders in contemporary instrumental music. GROUNDUP MUSIC is celebrated for supporting genre-defying artists who redefine modern soundscapes; their commitment to quality production shines through on this exceptional release.

The fifteenth album and seventh live album[1] by American band Snarky Puppy. It was released on September 30, 2022. It won Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 65th Grammy Awards. I recommend.
