Snarky Puppy returned after a 6-year hiatus to bring their brand of fusion jazz to Auckland and the sold-out Powerstation crowd was very happy to have them back.
If you're a music buff who longs for the good old days – perhaps as far back as the last century, when musicians played their instruments with such virtuosity and poured every ounce of their being into their playing – you need not look too far back in the past to find extraordinary music presently being made
Snarky Puppy is not a conventional band, rather they are a loose collective of extremely high-quality musicians, typically focussed on a style of music perhaps best thought of as jazz fusion.
