Music rooted in jazz tradition, but freely crossing stylistic boundaries, blending funk groove and the directness of rhythm blues into a contemporary sound. Snarky Puppy's concert in Riga is a real event for all jazz music lovers – both those who are just beginning their acquaintance with jazz music and experienced listeners. It is an opportunity to hear one of the most important contemporary jazz ensembles, whose music is based on high professional mastery and precise interplay.
The band's origins date back to 2004, when bassist and composer Michael League formed it as a group of like-minded individuals studying jazz at the University of North Texas. In today's jazz fusion scene, Snarky Puppy is considered one of the most important reference points for the genre.
