      And the ‘purpose’ of 3 drummers is what? I’d damn well expect them to be ‘tight’ but aside from their solo performances thrown in, this is a simple exercise in ‘gilding the lily’ and superfluous to the needs of already great music from Snarky Puppy. A redundant sham!!

    This is a pure gift. Bernard giving way too less notes than what usual puppies give us but that results in so much groove, while 30 or so musicians grooving in unison, and three top notch drummers trading in solos to finish up. What a champ.

      ​@@maziarnoei4191 That's only one side of the coin. Bernard's solo leaves lots of pocket to the point it's hard to see what's foreground and background. But every once in a while he stabs with unusual timing and notes to claim he's at the foreground, but barely. I can't stop frowning my face every time he does that. It's such a fine balancing between who's grooving and who's soloing. Perhaps it's partly his personality, seeing him leaving the stage right away while everyone is applauding.

      My only problem with Snarky puppy is that that all the musicians are "to perfect". There is no Jimi Hendrix element in it. Yea it's jazz but two drummers and no out of the box rythm section... Vain. Empty. Too perfect! I can listen to Snarky Puppy and admire the
      musicianship but their lacking the dept. Too good musicians to make the "grooove"!
      I admire the musicianship, the proficiency of the musicians, their skillz! But their music is "to perfect". If Snarky Puppers would like to get an extra notch, they'd have to hire Charles Berthoud to spice up their rythm section. ua-cam.com/video/xSn_fUKpCHs/v-deo.html

    Nard! My mom used to play his music all the time when I was younger. This brought me to tears, man. I also heard the trumpeter slip in "Jean Pierre." Anyway, the use of space on Wright's solo. The purpose…the patience. These young, busy dudes need to take notes. Space matters. Journey well, bruh.

      Dude I recognised that trumpet reference, I had a jazz pianist friend who taught me how to play that tune on piano years ago at uni (well he showed me how to play a basic version of the melody and it's always stuck with me) and I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called! Scoured the comments in the hope that someone else caught it...thank you man! Jean Pierre! Peace and love!

    This truly makes my soul happy to see such an incredible performance by the greatest band that featured one of the greatest innovators/keyboardists/ of r&b & funk for the last 50+ years. I bought Bernard's first solo album back in '81 and I followed him until the end. Peaceful rest to you, sir and thank you for all that you taught us!
