San Francisco Jazz

The five-time GRAMMY-winning juggernaut Snarky Puppy returns to the intimate environs of Miner Auditorium for a highly anticipated run of performances.

“An exultant throwdown of smart danceability” (Village Voice), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band or a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of The New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”
