At Snarky Puppy shows, Michael League never knows what kind of music head will be sitting in the front rows. “There are people in Slayer or Biggie Smalls T-shirts,” he says. “Sometimes it’s folkloric musicians. There are people who were around when Weather Report was doing its thing and see some sort of continuum happening. People come up to me all the time and say, ‘I can really hear the Mahavishnu or Return to Forever influence.’ It’s a very diverse audience.”

Jazz-meets-funk mini orchestra Snarky Puppy has unveiled a new video for “Bad Kids to the Back,” a crisp, strutting new track written by trumpeter-keyboardist Justin Stanton and slated for the group’s upcoming LP, Immigrance. The clip combines studio footage with whimsical animation that shows everything from band members playing against a desert backdrop or on a moving school bus to animal-headed musicians replacing Snarky Puppy’s own trumpeters and saxists.
The visuals closely mirror the music, such as when flashes of light stream out of a saxophone. Before a...

One afternoon this past spring, David Crosby found himself facing two unlikely scenarios: He was in New York’s grimy East Village, on the other side of the country from his California home, and the notoriously assertive musician was being given orders.
“Turn off your cell phone, Croz,” says Michael League, the bearded, Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and leader of the multi-genre band Snarky Puppy, sitting in the control room of a funky studio above a bodega. Singer, guitarist and songwriter Becca Stevens then dashes into the booth where Crosby is about...

The surviving members of the Byrds may be touring without him and Crosby, Stills and Nash may be irrevocably split, but David Crosby hasn’t let either situation dull his creative output. On October 26th, he’ll release his new album Here If You Listen, his fourth solo album in five years. (By comparison, he released a mere three solo albums between 1971 and 2013.)
Crosby previewed the album with first single “Glory.” The track is a pensive acoustic ballad that finds Crosby sharing vocal duties with members of his Lighthouse touring band,...

This is where I'm supposed to summarize the past year, find some overaching theme or thread running through my choices, spot trends, or something along those lines. Instead it's just another mea culpa for my continuing and accelerating estrangement from mainstream pop music. Don't mind me, I'm just a grumpy old fart. But these twenty new albums made me less grumpy.
1. Diiv: Is the Is Are (Captured Tracks)
I enjoyed their first album, and far from a sophomore slump, their second is even better. Sure, I'm heavily predisposed to love bands that conjure a moody '80s vibe with thrumming bass, chiming guitar jangle, and submerged vocals, but this is greater than the sum of those parts, simultaneously updating the sound while tapping into a new level of melodicism for this band.
2. David Bowie: Black Star (Sony)
I wrote about this at length. What can I add now that...
