David Crosby Sings The Praises Of Snarky Puppy

Snarky Puppy have been around for about a decade at this point, but have only in recent years received the critical and fan acclaim their original brand of music deserves. Count David Crosby among the band’s legion of fans as he apparently can’t get enough of Snarky Puppy and has tweeted repeatedly about the group.
Here’s the pair of tweets from September 17th that started a string of Snarky Puppy love from Croz:
Snarky Puppy is quite possibly the most advanced band in the world …certainly the best I've heard / seen
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 17, 2014
ok so you think you can play … check out Lingus by Snarkey Puppy written by Michael League Inspiring to see such musicians exist
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 17, 2014He even had a specific recommendation for his followers:
try the Snarky Puppy record "We Like it Here"
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 17, 2014The next day Crosby reiterated his appreciation for Snarky Puppy:
ok for you who love jazz Weather report style but …oh my …further..listened to the whole Snarky Puppy "We Like It Here" mmmmmmmmmmmm

David Crosby wasn’t finished, he then implored his followers to check out the band’s YouTube channel:
ok so here's fun ..make sure you have a big pipe to the net and then hit youtube @thesnarkypuppy and make sure you have food and water
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 18, 2014We believe this is the channel Croz wants you to view.
On Thursday Crosby was right back to singing the band’s praises:
if you still haven't figured out Snarky Puppy …try Outlier or Kite
youtube…..breathe ….stay calm
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 26, 2014Watch Snarky Puppy’s “Kite”:
Croz continued on and took aim at those who bag on instrumental music:
the whole band ….especially League (bass ,writer,prod.) all graduated from the University of Mars….PHDs
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 26, 2014
you say but no lyrics ?…4 of the best things I have ever written have no lyrics
music conveys emotion ….all by its self
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 26, 2014
Chopin , Bach , Coltrane, Miles and on and on and on
no lyrics
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 26, 2014And it wouldn’t be a good internet convo without the addition of:
just saying …….
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 26, 2014On Saturday DC was still waxing poetic on his love of Snarky Puppy:
and one more Snarky Puppy … please let yourself go on the sax players ride on Outlier….so totally killer deep… this is their lives
— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) September 27, 2014Just in case you want to let yourself go:
Snarky Puppy has played it rather cool, but have certainly acknowledged the thumbs up from one of rock’s greatest musicians:
“@thedavidcrosby: Snarky Puppy is quite possibly the most advanced band in the world …certainly the best I've heard / seen” Whoa.
