Snarky Puppy at the Ogden Theater
by Geoff Anderson
Snarky Puppy Ogden Theater Denver, CO May 24, 2016 The Snarky Puppy website describes the group as a “quasi-collective." Indeed, an organization that numbers perhaps as many as three dozen doesn't really fit the traditional definition of a “band." Thirty six members? That almost sounds like an orchestra. Well, they don't ...

It's a sad fact: records can sound dreadful. Yet... Records ...

Al Di Meola at the Soiled Dove Underground, Denver
by Geoff Anderson
