Hey Bob, I was re-watching one of your older vlogs about you trying to find a new sax case and I was just wondering if you have heard of Hiscox cases. They are Walt Johnson-esque type of cases that have stronger latches and can fit accessories than the bam cases.
Ok 3 things: 1. Y’all work hella hard, but it’s also nice to see y’all play hard as well! Love the camaraderie here! 2. Mark and Maz are hilarious 😆 3. Your son dancing to New Light was adorable! 😂♥️ Thanks again Bob! Really did feel like a fly on the wall! You are a great story teller with these vlogs.
Thank you Bob for being part of this beautiful music! Me and my fiancée went to see you guys at the royal albert hall, we were front row and you blew us away. You can see us right in the middle at 1:11!!
If i could be given another life and got to choose what type of brain I could I have, I would choose the brain of a musician. This process fascinates me. Also on a side note @BobReynolds: I had the pleasure of being at the Brooklyn Steel show from last years tour. The show was phenomenal! I recall going to buy some records and merchandise and some of the band mates start coming out slowly to talk to the crowd that was still there. You came out Bob and I was so stuck on the idea of meeting my guitar idol, Mark Lettieri, that all I could muster when I met you was “hey Bob, you know if Mark will be coming out?” You were slightly taken aback and I was just completely out of it. I got to meet mark and he signed one of my vinyl sleeves and I was star struck for the first time in my life. To this day I still have those cringe moments while showering where your brain just shuts off and you blurt out some unintelligible noise from the memory of how embarrassing a memory can be. Dude you rock. Side note # 2: you signed my vinyl insert as well. You’re a class act!
When I'm so frustrated about not getting together with band mates, creating music with wonderful people, this video really lifted me up and reminded these good times will be coming around again......SOOOOON ! Thanks Bob, this was highly medicinal 😀 AND WHAT FANTASTIC MUSIC !!!!!!
I've been listening to Semente trying to cope with the fact the mixing and mastering of this track is just "alien technology" it sounds absolutely incredible. I have no idea what this genre is but I love the way it sounds. That guy at the mixer knows what he's doing. Great job guys, new fan here!
I saw you guys the very next day from the Royal Albert Hall gig in Manchester. I’m pretty sure it was your last gig of the year with Snarky, Bob. My dad who was with me is a trumpet player and his mind exploded when he heard the Snarky horns for the first time. You guys are still so inspirational in my own music. Thank you for sharing these studio sessions❤️
Bob, you are my sax hero man. I am primarily a guitar player in my band but when I get the joy of picking up the horn, I channel a lot off your solo album. The CD has been in my work car since I got it. Months ago! Almost a year. Thanks man. You're the best. 👍
Had tickets to the show in Tulsa last year. Was on call and didn’t get out the office until after seven. One of the next tour stops was in Dublin. The only thing that stopped me from flying to Dublin to make that date was my wife’s *strong* NO. I’m telling ya though - after this Covid thing is over, I’m doing it, no matter the location!
Thanks for sharing these vlogs Bob, always interested in seeing the process. Looking forward to the next one and I'd be just as excited to see any footage from the Culcha Vulcha album. Stay safe and cheers!
I thought those claps were dotted eighths over bars of 3. I'd never have considered counting that in 4. Cant wait to listen to it again with the lens of bars of 4!
The alto solo on "One More Night" is KILLIN'! LOL! Great job on the video, Bob! Always so excited to see your vlogs. Hope you're doing good over there.
I hear ya. Unfortunately this isn't a video-crew production. Just little 'ol me with my camera, which means it tends to be where I am...which was in a room far away from the rhythm section most of the time. Parts 1 and 2 have a tad more.
@@bobreynolds yeah. I watched it several times. Hahahaha... Love how SP's workflow values transcribing/learning by ear and I'm trying to exercise that myself! Hope all is well, Bob!
Interesting to see how you work in such a beautiful way in a diverse group :) On a personal view, it's nice to see how, having grown up in lands where gnawa music was present around, in my evolution of musical inclinations these rhythms reappear and come together from the hand of one of my current favorite band such as Snarky Puppy. So it was quite an experience to live those moments in Essaouira in 2018, great and unforgettable moments! Is the song that closes the video "Anti Jam" from the Bullock's album "Boomtown"? I'm not quite sure...
They don't use charts because they want to have everything memorized. This gives the band flexibility when on tour... they are able to swap members on every instrument anywhere in the tour schedule and no one misses a beat since they all know their own parts, plus they can fill in on another instrument's parts with minimal practice. Also, everyone can constantly have their ears open and listen to the other parts. It still blows my mind, but Micheal League did this on purpose for the first years of the band, sending demos where all the parts are played by the same synth and no in-depth descriptions as to who is playing which part. Everyone learned every part and only at the recording session did Micheal then reveal who played what.🤯
ˆˆˆWhat Dennis said.ˆˆˆ Plus, as long as your eyes are on a chart your ears and mind can never be fully open to all the music going on around you. There's a stratosphere of details from articulation to inflections to dynamics that could never be conveyed in sheet music. It's about listening to those right next to you, behind you, and across the stage from you. Learning the music by ear (btw, the same way Monk taught all his musicians his tunes), you do the heavy lifting up front and reap the benefits forever thereafter. Highly recommended.
Seems strange to not have the music ahead of going to the studio with it. Is it because you’re all at such a high level that you don’t have to see it ahead of time? Would that be a waste of time? I guess a lot of it is probably being written or changed on the spot, which makes sense.
I currently only have one Snarky Puppy CD ("We Like it Here"), but I'm sure I will add more at some point; it's a great band. I was unaware of the album "Immigrance" or the fact that it came out in 2019. Thus when I initially saw the date this video was posted (Nov. 6, 2020), I thought this was a current project. I started to freak out a little: what no masks?? At least distance yourselves!! Is everyone tested?? Yikes!! Then I figured out that this was recorded in "The Before Times". Never mind!
A lot of equip, a lot of time and money, a lot of good musicians, a lot of brain storming to come up with music that misses the primary goal of.............. being pleasant to listen to. This band is not pleasant to listen to. Abstract chord structure, annoying dissonant melody lines all for the sake of "being unique". Being unique doesn't make music. Sound that is pleasant to listen to makes music.
To Mike King- I have one of their CDs from several years ago called "We Like it Here", which has some great stuff and even though some of it is complex I would call it accessible and exciting. Besides that one album, I've only heard a little of their music, but I'm looking forward to hearing more (so much music out there, I can't hear it all). That being said, of what I've heard, there's very little that's totally "outside" and most of it is pretty darn catchy (to me) despite some complicated poly meters and "spicy" chord progressions. Anyway, it all boils down to taste and what you're accustomed to and what you're interested in exploring. My tastes are pretty wide ranging. But, as always, "to each his or her own". I don't like to argue about musical taste (although I did when I was younger) but just accept that we all are wired differently.
Hell yeah, broccoli.
Sheeeeerwww Keeeewwwwww And then cut to Mark
yeah sure, "broccoli", Mark... sure!
the brocco king!!
Love you too, Bob!!! Great memories!
Sorry it took a minute, folks. Thanks for your patience. Next one won't be as long a wait. :)
Thanks for sharing this Bob! It WAS great to get the 'fly on the wall' look into the Snarky recording process!
Totally worth it. Thank you very much for sharing, Bob!
When’s the next vlog bob?
Hey Bob, I was re-watching one of your older vlogs about you trying to find a new sax case and I was just wondering if you have heard of Hiscox cases. They are Walt Johnson-esque type of cases that have stronger latches and can fit accessories than the bam cases.
I love mark’s goofyness. It fits him well
Easily the best thing I’ve watched in 2020!!! Miss you guys!!
Holy cow it’s the Sleeper man himself
Mr. Martin - big fan. Just watched your work on Montreal with Mark Lettieri. Soooo good. Can't wait to see y'all in action again. Stay well.
3:01 - 3:25 “Larnell

Haha! Yep.
I absolutely lost it when Maz asked "What do you wanna hear man" and the next clip was Phil Collins
Ok 3 things:
1. Y’all work hella hard, but it’s also nice to see y’all play hard as well! Love the camaraderie here!
2. Mark and Maz are hilarious 😆
3. Your son dancing to New Light was adorable! 😂♥️

thanks for these great videos, love it to take a look behind the scenes.
also great editing, very entertaining. :)
Pls do more snarky puppy content in the future i love seeing the behind the scenes of the guys and everyones personalities are so fun and infectious

I love the moment with coffee in ceramic cup :D (6:06) I"m drinking coffee during watching xD great bts of recording
Bob’s son: “Do you know John Mayer?” So precious.

My dad who was with me is a trumpet player and his mind exploded when he heard the Snarky horns for the first time. You guys are still so inspirational in my own music.

Love you guys so much! Please come to India soon!
Thank you for bringing us in!
Congratulations on another Grammy nomination!

Thanks for allowing us in you guys world showing us your work flow.
always enjoy these back story videos....thanks
I liked the video, the broccoli, and definetely I liked the Barça shirt that Michael was wearing

Fascinating stuff Bob. Thanks for the series.
Great stuff. Love Snarky, and it's great to get a peek at the inside action - keep 'em coming! Hope we see you at SFJAZZ again soon!

So good to see Jamison Ross involved!! Way back when we were in Florida's All-State Jaz Band together....keep it up!
This series of videos is super inspiring! It’s great seeing what happens behind the scenes! 🙂

Fantastic insight into how you guys put your songs together in the studio. Thank you so much Bob, you are an amazing musician 😀
Thank you for sharing us new experience, Bob! I enjoy all the parts. Can't wait for your next videos!

Ahh Man I was at the Albert Hall such a great gig !!!!!
Awesomesauce, Bob!
This was so cool, Bob.
Broccoli was a good artistic choice. And I have never seen a vlog actually show a nap. Thorough.
😅
Thanks I haven't hung out in sessions in a long time so feels good to watch the process.
Thank you!
Your son at the end asking if you knew John Mayer. Just you wait kid. Just you wait.
Yes.
Bad kids to the back! So good. Thanks again for these, Bob.
This is awesome Bob, what at amazing studio!
great insight! thanks
I was there at The Albert Hall, that was an amazing evening :) can’t wait to see what you guys come up with after this hiatus!
Wow, mad props on "Bad Kids to the Back" in particular; I always thought those fast runs sounded really hard in sync
I really love this band. And this channel.
Wanted to see more of the rhythm section tho.
I hear ya. Unfortunately this isn't a video-crew production. Just little 'ol me with my camera, which means it tends to be where I am...which was in a room far away from the rhythm section most of the time. Parts 1 and 2 have a tad more.
@@bobreynolds yeah. I watched it several times. Hahahaha... Love how SP's workflow values transcribing/learning by ear and I'm trying to exercise that myself! Hope all is well, Bob!
I love this part of the creative process and yours with Snarky Puppy is truly impressive to witness (at least for me :D). Thank you for these vlogs!
0:17 is that Ian Rubin in the back, black shirt?
Yes
"Maz's Machine Brand Coffee'' coming to a store near you real soon 😂☕
10/10 Would drink again
Broccoli always a good start!
Snarky Poopy.. I mean Puppy! LOL! Thanks for the tour. Very cool guys.
isn't Ilan Rubin @12:20 in the background?
Loved this !
Hey, Bob! I'm a violinist and I love your videos! Could you write for me the violinist's name at 6:22, please? Regards from Brazil
Zach Brock 👍🏻
@@bobreynolds thank's! ✌
Nailing it !!Excellent ,Cheers ,,:-)!!!
Fascinating band Snarky Puppy look forward to featuring this band on my Jazz Show
So epic!
Is this Ilan Rubin from NIN at one point of the video please ? 😮
yes
Came to the comments just to see if anyone else was excited about this. Great player.
Nate worth 6:04 “maybe not so much like triple trap shit” ❤️ this group
☺️

Is the song that closes the video "Anti Jam" from the Bullock's album "Boomtown"? I'm not quite sure...
Hi Mounir. Probably. Definitely from his album.
The track at 16:05 did it get cut from the album? Or was it just a sound check? Sounded pretty nice.
Drums at 6.42 sound nice which song
0:17 wait a minute. Is Ilan Rubin the man on the back?
Dopeness 😎
what's the track at 18:15? sick drums!
I'm wondering the same thing!
@@seanmuzzi2547 At the very end, it says that the music is by Chris Bullock. Guess we'll have to listen to his album! ;)
@@litelatobalita4317 awesome thanks!
Niiice!
Why don't you guys use charts? It seems crazy to do everything through logic demos rather than write some lead sheets or something.
My thoughts. A rough chart so you don’t have to memorize everything.
They don't use charts because they want to have everything memorized. This gives the band flexibility when on tour... they are able to swap members on every instrument anywhere in the tour schedule and no one misses a beat since they all know their own parts, plus they can fill in on another instrument's parts with minimal practice.

@Doctaj54
Hi Bob love these. Thanks. Hey it's not too hard to cur your own hair. I did it. You would be surprised. Not perfect but hey, passable.
Seems strange to not have the music ahead of going to the studio with it. Is it because you’re all at such a high level that you don’t have to see it ahead of time? Would that be a waste of time? I guess a lot of it is probably being written or changed on the spot, which makes sense.
Yes.....exactly this....yes.....absolutely....this is the life I wanna live :)
nate werth is a hero
1:55 one could say, _"That's the true feel he was going _*_four_*_ "_
I currently only have one Snarky Puppy CD ("We Like it Here"), but I'm sure I will add more at some point; it's a great band.

I want more! Sorry that's selfish of me....but I want more
the good news is I still have a LOT of SP tour footage
nice
And suddenly I start liking broccoli
Drink coffee ☕ 😂
First to comment! What's up, Bob?
#BroccoliBonus #BroccoliBoys
Random Q: favourite moment of Cory Henry?
I liked the moment that had Cory Henry in it... ha
10:09 I thought you were singing in bed.
