Led by bassist, composer, and producer Michael League, this Brooklyn-based collective encompasses 19 members, though mostly they rotate in and out when on the road, with anywhere from 8 to 12 instrumentalists appearing onstage at any given time. Snarky Puppy have taken home three Grammys for their upbeat, brass-saturated (occasionally flute-stroked) take on groovy, funky, R&B imbued jazz fusion. It can get a little smooth at times, but it’s far more full-bodied than the sounds you hear from Kenny G types. Warming the stage is South Florida’s fine-sliding lap and pedal steel guitar player Roosevelt Collier. by Leilani Polk
