Snarky Puppy

Snarky Puppy is an American jazz-rock band performing at The Hall, Aviva Studios in Manchester. The group plays jazz fusion and has been active since its formation in Denton in 2004.

Snarky Puppy was formed in Denton in 2004 and plays jazz fusion, drawing on jazz-rock traditions in its compositions. The band signed to Impulse! and released its first album, "The Only Constant", in 2006, which marked the start of its recorded output.

The group's music sits between jazz improvisation and the rhythmic drive and textures of rock, with instrumental pieces that give the players room to solo within structured arrangements. Their records have been released under Impulse!, the label associated with a long line of influential jazz recordings.

The Hall at Aviva Studios hosts concerts and shows in Manchester, and this evening suits listeners interested in contemporary jazz fusion and the band's instrumental approach. The concert is part of the venue's music programme in the city.
