The World Is Getting Smaller (2007)

The second studio album from Snarky Puppy, "The World is Getting Smaller", features two live drummers (Rob Avsharian and Steve Pruitt) panned left and right (as well as a guest appearance from master percussionist Jose Aponté), and marks a compositional departure from "The Only Constant". It was recorded as most of the band was leaving college at the University of North Texas in 2007. (bron: Snarky Puppy) "Made up entirely of past and present music students from the highly esteemed University of North Texas (affectionately referred to as 'the Juilliard of the South'), the band effortlessly blends a strong sense of musicality and virtuosity with raw, organic musical instincts. The 9-piece group is doing something very relevant, and something very honest- they're making music as a generation immersed in diversity. Bjork, Dave Holland, D'Angelo, Wayne Krantz, Pat Metheny, and Radiohead resonate within the compositions to form the unified, unique, soulful sound that is unmistakably Snarky Puppy." (CDUniverse)
