Hi everyone! Hope you'll enjoy this one, I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm going on holiday soon so I'll try to pre-record a few videos. Consider subscribing, we're almost at 500!

Maaan, as I saw the thumbnail, I thought Michael League was reactin to his own music. >_

Michael League is the bandleader period,he writes a lot of the material & arranges everything. He's an awesome bandleader & bass player.

Your face from from 12:50 when the whole things just drops is why I keep watching all the Snarky Puppy reaction videos :)

Two more Snarky Puppy selections: 1. “Something” ft. Lalah Hathaway Family Dinner #1 2. “Don’t You Know” ft. Jacob Collier Family Dinner #2

If you notice not one player has a sheet of music in front of him. This band are all top notch musicians.

the mode is actually a mode of a harmonic minor scale which is where that minor second comes from

The director/editor is in love with the cello girl!

Loved this reaction! Larnell is a beast on the drums here. If you haven't already, you should definitely check out Larnell Lewis at Zildjian live, its AMAZING!

SUCH a joyous arrangement and one that seems to have filled you with joy once Larnell started pelting those drums at the end . :)

Ha! Never thought of that connection to 'Dream Brother', but you're actually quite right... Well spotted!

Always nice to see Chick, John and Dave playing, even if only for a moment :-)

Seeing you smile and just vibe in that ending sequence is exactly how I feel every time I hear this song.

Respect! Thank you for the insight! Also I love your smile 😃

Man that trumpet player has such a beautiful tone!

I love Snarky Puppy so I quite often watch reaction videos just to see more of the band :-) Many reactors seem intent on killing my joy but I like your videos. Good work.

Larnell Lewis is inhuman! Check out his City Lights solo, my jaw reaches the floor every time

Please react to the curtain feat. Metropole Orchest!! Long song but a masterpiece.

13:20 That might be the single most groovy bass lick I've ever heard in my life also.

Imagine sitting in the audience watching them live. Such a great feel good experience

I’ve watched about 40 reaction videos to Snarky Puppy and this one really made me smile… so insightful. You bring a different approach to your commenting that is very thoughtful and refreshing. For example, I’ve often thought about the lack of ego demonstrated regularly by these band mates, but I’ve never heard it articulated in an analysis. Keep doing your thing. Subscribed. (By the way, I was thinking “Phrygian” mode, too.)

I believe it was a 7 hour flight plus a 2 hour rehearsal. They may have done two takes for the album, but if I'm not mistaken he learned the whole album in those 9+ hours.

Snarky puppy react= subscribe. Amazing group. Also check out Binky and What About Me by them as well. EDIT: I just took a look at some of your vid titles as a new sub and you are a human of taste lol. Look forward to diving in

It's funny you look like Michael League! 😂

Oh man, loved your comment about Corey Henry and the fact that those guys can put their ego aside, going from top notch solo on a song to the most simple 4 notes playing on the next. About that, you see Shaun Martin ? You know, the guy that is so amazed by Corey's solo on Lingus that he drops is helmet ? Well, I look forward to your reaction of Sleeper, from the same album... Also, did you count "un deux trois quatre cinq" ? Francophone maybe? Si c'est le cas, super chaîne et continue :)

First time listener, and the fact that you mentioned Jeff Buckley made me sub ❤️🔥

All the tracks from this set are great, but you should check out the Family Dinner collections

so the plane ride larnell took was 7 hours. he was then able to rehearse for 2 hours before they started recording. he went straight from the airport right to the recording studio. mans a beast

The bass player, Mike League, is the composer and band leader.

Check out Snarky Puppy featuring Lalah Hathaway doing "Something" It kills.

you should try "binky" by them

It would be great if you'd react to this, you know... from a compositional standpoint. Talk about the key, how they're using it (traditionally vs non, etc). Even a basic breakdown of the chord structure would be great information for other young composers.

Great reactions man. Nice to see reactions that add something of their own to the songs and especially being honest about your knowledge and experience, and not trying to fake it 'til you make it👍 I would really love it if you coult check out Snarky Puppy and the Metropole Orkest collab album Sylva. It rarely gets viewed, but in my opinion it's their best one yet. The whole album is pure fire, but The Curtain (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLKCqpByzdeWYp8.html) would be the best one to start off with. Also, if possible, the pair Flight and Atchafalaya are amazing, but must be listened to together. And about Larnell, the flight from the US to Europe was around 7 hours and he learnt most of the songs on the album on the plane. He mentions it on Drumeo's video where he listenes a song once and plays it amazingly right after. Cheers from Finland!✌️

Greetings Tanguy, you seems happy while doing those vids, i'm glad to see it. Didn't know that song from snarky puppy, realy cool tune ! Concerning that oriental scale you're talking about, it sounds like a B Phrygian major scale aka B Myxolydian b9 b13 ( but I might be wrong ). It is the fifht mode of the minor harmonic scale ( here it would share the same notes as the E harmonic minor scale ). Good vid anyway =) As for suggestion, i would recommend "Flesh and the power it holds" by Death. It is some metal music though so I don't know if you will like it ( or if people wanna watch you listening to metal ), but I find this piece really interesting. Have a good holyday sir.

I actually believe the main composer on this song was Justin Stanton(trumpet soloist). But of course Michael and the other members contribute. Since you are a guitarists I would recommend Jambone from this same album. Its one that noone reacts to.

Almost the entire first section up to the trumpet solo, to my understanding, is based on two chords: Ami6 and B7. You could say that that is in E minor, and that it is a constant unfinished resolution of IV and V7. But right in the next section that V7 becomes the keynote. So, to my understanding, it would be more accurate to say that it is based on the B altered Phrygian scale (V of the harmonic minor scale). It is a characteristic sound of eastern european, indian, middle eastern, music.

Did you react to any Dirty Loops songs? There are a lot to gift yourself with haha

Hi, great reaction and comments I appreciate. I recommend you to listen Neo Funk by Anthony Brancati with Larnell on drums it’s really cool !!

☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Don't make assupumtions, bro. Larnell (although he CAN read and write music) learned the WHOLE SESSION in flight just LISTENING to the music that was sent to him from Michael. For the most part, I really like listening to your commentary (or reaciton) to the music. You KINDA know your place in the scheme of things: you seem not to put yourself in the categories of those you're reacting to. So it REAL to ME. Just don't over-step your lane when it comes to critiquing others who have WAAAAY MORE experience than yourself. ESPECIALLY on a PUBLIC platform.

I just discovered your channel, and I really like it. You know music a lot deeper than I do, and your comments are very enlightening. Not as a criticism, but as a tip, it really pokes the listener with a knife when you use God's name in vain. I know it is easy to fall into habits like that, but if you could weed it out of your vocabulary it would do well for both you and for the listener. Keep up the good work! Your channel is great!
