SNARKY PUPPY @ 60th JAZZ FESTIVAL LJUBLJANA
22 June 2019, at 21.00
Kino Šiška
One of the most exciting music bands of the century is coming to Ljubljana: a category-defying jazz music figure putting its own trademark twist to the genre. A number-one live attraction of some of the globe’s most prestigious music festivals, Snarky Puppy will provide a spectacular finale to the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the Jazz Festival Ljubljana. The fusion-influenced collective displays a rare and delicate mixture of sophisticated composition, harmony and improvisation.
Formed in Denton, Texas, in 2004, Snarky Puppy feature a wide-ranging group of over 30 musicians affectionately known as "The Fam," centred around bassist, composer and bandleader Michael League. The band’s live performance features a selection of 12 musicians from the rotating cast, insuring that each show is different not only due to the ever-changing setlists but also because of the various permutations of musicians.
Snarky Puppy have won three Grammy Awards, two for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album and one for Best R&B Performance.
“One of the more versatile groups on the planet right now.” - Rolling Stone
“Maybe you didn’t notice, but this is Snarky Puppy’s world, and the rest of us only live in it." “A barnstorming, groove-centric instrumental act with a rabid fan base.” - The New York Times
"Many artists have attempted to bring jazz, kicking and screaming, into the modern age. Snarky Puppy, a loose collective from New York by way of Texas, makes it look effortless." - SF Chronicle
JOHN ZORN – THE HERMETIC ORGAN
18 June at 21.00
Gallus hall
John Zorn, organ
The music is breathtakingly beautiful, and distinguished by a spiritual mood that only a huge pipe organ can create. A perfect outlet for Zorn's dramatic sense of color and contrast, we hear the composer’s mind at work in all its bizarre permutations—huge blocks of sound, chords, clusters, counterpoint, drones, ostinatos, lyrical melodies and more—often all at the same time.
