Over the past decade, the JZ Festival has grown to become the largest jazz festival in China. To commemorate their 10th Festival Anniversary, the JZ Group has put together their most distinguished lineup of world-class musicians to date in Shanghai. There are also three jazz masters’ performances in Yugong Yishan, Beijing, as a part of JZ Festival, including Jojo Mayer & Nerve, Snarky Puppy and Marcus Miller.
SNARKY PUPPY
Snarky Puppy seamlessly fuses a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that is able to reach the most diverse of audiences. The once Texan, now New York-based quasi-collective has gone from the best kept secret to now one of the most respected names in instrumental music. The band has always used live performance as its chief form of evangelism, and maintains a more intense tour schedule than almost any band in the idiom.
Snarky Puppy is a three-headed creature: first, and most obviously, an original music ensemble. Second, a production team and session band for individual artists. Third, and probably most importantly, Snarky Puppy is a group of musicians enthusiastically committed to music education and community outreach. Through clinics at colleges, high schools, and middle schools worldwide, the band has made a strong commitment to spreading their love of music and general positivity to a young generation looking for something real to be inspired by.
