Cory Wong is a Grammy Nominated guitarist, producer, variety show host, and podcast host. In addition to his skyrocketing solo career, he is also a member of Vulfpeck & Fearless Flyers.
Snarky Puppy, the five times Grammy® winning collective, “has always been a band that prioritizes the sound of the music,” says bandleader and bassist Michael League. Displaying a wide array of influences including funk, rhythm & blues, hard rock, classic soul, modern gospel, new tech, fusion and jazz, Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band, it’s not a fusion band and it’s definitely not 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.”
The Wootens have racked up 10 Grammy wins, and 26, yes, 26 Grammy nominations. And the youngest of the family, Victor, the brother who learned from all his older brothers, has been named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the ten greatest bass players of all time.
Keyboardist Sam Fribush is on the frontlines of the Hammond organ revival. Hailing from Greensboro, NC, his 2021 debut ‘Sam Fribush Trio, Vol. 1: Riverboat’ was produced by Charlie Hunter and recorded in North Carolina. Sam went on to establish himself as one of the Atlantic Coast’s freshest young bandleaders and collaborators, sharing the voice of his incredible instrument – an authentic 1958 Hammond C3 organ – with audiences and studios across the country.
Cosmic Collective is a transmuting ensemble of jazz musicians. The group’s effervescent chemistry evolves from performance to performance contingent upon the accompanying star sidemen, making each show a truly unforgettable, unique, and personal experience.
