Snarky Puppy
LazzarettoBergamo Jazz summer events at the Lazzaretto organised as part of Bergamo-Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023 The sponsors of the events are Intesa Sanpaolo and Brembo, through the Bergamo Brescia 2023 Committee Snarky Puppy are the most highly acclaimed American band of recent decades: with five Grammy Awards and numerous other honours behind them, they continue to identify with their 'underground' soul through a creative drive that spans all music genres and embraces generations of listeners. More than just a band, they are a true sound laboratory in which different styles and languages, jazz, funk, R&B, written music and total improvisation fuse. The mainstay is bassist Michael League, the true catalyst for the musical energies of a ‘collective’ that sees 25 musicians involved in rotation. And it is in their live performances that Snarky Puppy express an all-encompassing, explosive, surprising musicality: each concert is unique and tells a different story that belongs to a longer, much bigger one.
