Bassist and composer Michael League feeds his exuberant jazz-fusion crew a constantly rotating cast of tasteful guest players and singers, making Snarky Puppy's jams fascinatingly unpredictable—though reliably rich. Collaborations with Dutch big band Metropole Orkest and American crooner Lalah Hathaway swing the mix from string-drenched funk vamps to Rhodes-and-guitar-driven soul in the style of Steely Dan. And whether executing sensational solos over tempo-shifting instrumentals or sitting back beneath sweet vocals, the Texas-bred group reshapes its ever-changing sound with electronic twists.
