The jazz ensemble Snarky Puppy came to mind during a conversation on social media a while back, and I decided I needed to listen to more of their music, especially in light of the fact that they do have a new album coming out soon. (I forget when exactly.)
Today's song reminds me of a jazz classic. I think that is in part due to the voice of Lucy Woodward. I have to say that I think Michael League is earning a place as one of my favorite jazz composers. And in my book, the fact that he is using a baritone guitar on this song is an added plus. They don't show up too often. "Chain of Fools" by Aretha Franklin, and "Rock Lobster" (technically a guitar tuned to baritone) by The B-52's are 2 songs you probably know that use that deep sound. There are more, but not too many.
This is "Too Hot To Last" by Snarky Puppy featuring vocals by Lucy Woodward from the album Family Dinner - Volume 1.
Good tune, I like it! I always like when other sites and bloggers run music or music videos. And I always listen to them...always something new to hear, listen to and learn.
