Snarky Puppy feat. Jacob Collier & Big Ed Lee - "Don't You Know" (Family Dinner Volume Two) 

Give some bigass round of applause to whoever mixed this. you can hear everythign so clearly.

The audience having headphones is the only thing stopping a jazz mosh pit from happening

I'm imagining the moment Jacob Collier and Cory Henry each discovered the existence of the other.

Fun facts: two of the backup singers are sisters, the third is Sput's (the drummer with the sunglasses) sister, and all three of them are former members of God's Property, a gospel choir founded by Sput's mother. Amongst the choir's band members were Sput himself and Shaun Martin.

you know you're killing it when your solo gives cory henry the stank face

Can you imagine the incredible puzzle of getting all the musicians together to practice all this, setting up all the gear on the live sound side (all the cables and routing and speakers so they can hear each other), then routing all the recording cables, getting all the levels right for each other and for the recording, then adding lighting and camera equipment?! What a god damn production!!

Cory Henry going crazy at 8:43 never fails to get a laugh out of me.

Jacob : hey guys this is my harmonizer Snarky : yeah man but we have a full choir Jacob : this is my harmonizer Snarky : but Jacob : my harmonizer Snarky : Jacob : H A R M O N I Z E R

Discovered Snarky Puppy, Jacob Collier and Corey Henry all in two videos. Pretty efficient.

The man on tuba holding the baseline is ridiculous! Mad respect!

I want nothing more than to be immortalized as an audience member in one of these Snarky Puppy videos

At first, I though “Oh cool, Jacob Collier is playing with Snarky Puppy !” ..and then, i realized... “Snarky Puppy are playing with Jacob Collier.” Incredible

This ain't even music anymore. This is some magic.

Collier to me is quite probably the greatest all around musician of this generation. Don't shoot me just yet. Think about the effortless way he plays EVERY instrument (other vids) plus sings incredibly well, and his ear for harmonizing with those substitution and accidental chords he uses is other worldly. Then there's the intricate rhythms. His talent rises to the level of a Mozart in my opinion. He's only 18 years old and the fact that Quincy Jones is singing on his video should give you a flag as to the importance of this kid. He is the future I think.

6:51 is done with one foot.... Larenell is wild.

8:43 When the beat so funky you lose your headphones to the stank face

this is the healthiest way I've gotten this high

I listened to this while trippin on shrooms. Boy was I not ready

Stage Arranger: How many pianists and pianos or keyboards are we looking for? Jacob: Yes.

5:21 - cory is giving jacob the same look Shaun Martin gave cory in lingus

**Jacob uses harmoniser** Backup singers: "Are we a joke to you?"

Out of control. I think this just made me pregnant.

This song is sooo organic that at moments it literally sounds like a psychedelic trip in the middle of a rain forest filled with cycads, birds, monkeys waterfalls and just pure life energy. Holy shit what an experience.

6:53 Michael League: *GROOVE WITH ME BOY* Brass player: ⚆ _ ⚆ Michael League: *G R O O V E*

Jacob is a genius..snarky is a group of geniuses. this is just genius

5:21 Corey Henry's funk face seal of approval on Jacob's wicked runs 😎

its like when all the grade a students decided to group together for group work

Ok, so I've watched this video at least 20+ times in the past six years... and tonight I got to see Jacob Collier perform live at the Majestic Theater in Detroit... and he played this song in his set. It was like a cosmically joyous punch in my solar plexus... and I loved every second of it. Another big bucket list item checked off: I saw Jacob perform live, in front of me... and it was truly wonderful. But after I came home and began the long process of winding down from such an experience, I knew I had to revisit this video. Because this captures a truly miraculous point in time. Yes, I'll say it. This performance was a miracle, and we all get to revisit and witness it again whenever we want. I'm so grateful for that. Thank you, Jacob; thank you, Snarky Puppy; thank you RU-vid. You've no idea how important this will always be to me. Truly makes life worth living.

Idk why I put myself through this... Every time y'all release a video, I watch it, I go to 10, chills, unbearable thrill, and I end up crying. It's like this is so good, I feel unworthy, and i need like 20 cigarettes and I don't smoke. I can't love Snarky Puppy, this is unhealthy. I'm calling the police.

8:42 cory was feeling it so hard he knocked his headphones off hahahah :D

This band pleases me. They"re young enough to be my grandchildren and though I'm not sure exactly what genre they fall into (funk, fusion, etc) they're a breath of fresh air for a type of music that had been ignored for a long time. The instrumentation is wonderful, there are expert soloists in every chair, the sound engineers are wonderful, too. LOOK AT THEIR SMILES!

I haven't seen people having that much fun playing music in years. A true testament to quality of the music. Jacob is like Pat Metheny on steroids, while drunk and having a manic episode on acid with mushrooms and too much candy and soda after being given a promotion at his job and then holding his baby for the 1st time and just generally feeling very good and shit. I think. I'm not sure. It's....he......I'm.....How.... Ah.....I mean.....ah.....What.... and....never mind.

Who else wants a Jacob Collier/Cory Henry piano duet?

I don't know how every member of the audience isn't completely losing their shit. The only thing I can think of is before the shoot, the producers told everyone "don't completely lose your shit."

this is the product of a collective of mentalities focused mainly on cooking rather than eating

the fact that this is live is out of my mind

The groove in the room from 8:10 to 8:54 is off the charts... Hearing this live must have been one of the greatest pleasures on Earth.

Cory Henry @ 8:43...my life is complete.

couldn't believe that this was uploaded 7 years ago

I have been watching Snarky Puppy videos, the stank face is lasting for hours and I can't do nothing about it.

I can't even put into words the amount of talent that Snarky Puppy really has. I wish the mass media would recognize music such as this, unlike the other big names that media focuses on. It's truly a shame.

This must have been a sound engineers nightmare

8:09 to 8:53. The pure enjoyment on the face of every single performer, indescribable.

Jacob Collier, Cory Henry and Snarky Puppy in one song.....wow.

This album is another guaranteed Grammy win. At this pace they're set to crank out a Grammy winner annually lol

Seeing as there are a sufficient number of comments praising his talents, I'm gonna comment that Jacob Collier looks absolutely amazing in spots.

I'm annoyed there aren't enough shots of Larnell when he's doing crazy stuff

I keep coming back to this time & again. I think it is my most watched RU-vid video. At least 10a of times; have I hit a hundred yet? Maybe. Soooooo tight. Every single artist is totally on form. The arrangement is mind blowing. Thank you all.

You guys are the future of music.

Is this the second coming of Chick, Herbie, Lyle Mays, Weather Report all in one entity...who can also vocalize? I think the next generation of jazz has been launched. And wow, what a massive take-off. Thrusters at full power.

Why is no one giving Big Ed Lee his props???! The tuba is giving this the kick ass it needs!!!

7 years late but holy shit. I have no words

Collier was what... 21 when he did this? A true genius. You have to be at the top of your game to be playing with Snarky Puppy anyway, but at that age? I was smiling all the way, like many of the folks in that place. This was truly a magical moment.

Until Jacob Collier, it was Pat Metheny who would take me to those heights. I've fallen in love with this young genius. Fierce!

Man, what is that chord at the end?! Unreal! These guys flip me on my head!

To me, this is an unimaginable jazz feat, feast, feastival. I've listened to a lot of music, nearly all genres, in my 75 years. This stands among the unequaled masterpieces. Sublime.

2 things... 1.) what the hell just happened?... 2.) there is still hope for music.

little skinny kid can generate BIG power and move musical mountains.

I cant believe this has been out six years and only has near 80k likes... pplz asleep?

i was on the verge of tear this whole song. This is so beautifull and powerfull

I've listened to it many times and the best realization is how great michael league does what he does. At the beginning of the whole vamping section right before jacob collier's solo, michael league keeps a constant steady pulse before the percussion section drummers and all join him in keeping time (and also in the intro with the drone of eighth notes coming from the synth or something...). Throughout all of the cymbal flourishes, synth effects, and all of the beautiful unorganized connection into collier's solo, he manages to keep the whole ensemble together with a little more than 4 or 5 notes in a steady rhythm. If you listen closely, you can hear him. It's not only until the percussion section joins him, he has more freedom to change up what he's playing and if you wanna be exact, he syncopates his parts more and makes them more groovy and complicated but not too complicated. Out of all of the craziness, technical, and mind-boggling parts, his role in this song is the best part out of all of the parts in the ensemble in my opinion. I've come to respect Michael League on a very different level than most other musicians.

jacob collier is incredible

I like how Jacob reacted and complimented to Cory's run at 9:22.

How they can get that many players all playing on top of each other without it going to mush is beyond me. What a joy to listen to!

I love Michael's passion for music, when Jacob's solo kicks in you can see his expression say "oh boy, I can't believe Jacob freakin Collier is playing with us!" as if Snarky and himself weren't writing their history in golden letters already.

He was 21. 21 at the time of this video. 21.

If humanity ever considers sending another golden record in space, I believe this is the perfect candidate.

Whoever wrote this arrangement is a f**king genius!!!!!!!

I expected nothing less out of Snarky Puppy with Jacob Collier & Big Ed Lee. This is a celebration of the Art of Music!

If Cory Henry ever gave me the stink face I would retire immediately.

Everytime I see this in my recommended, I have to click it again...

And nobody is reading! Nobody is reading! I mean, nobody. Its all memorized. Lots of musicians, impeccable performances and not one chart. I rest my case your honor.

it took me like 2 hours to listen to the whole song...... I kept replaying so many different parts. Genius level music !

Cory Henry's reaction to this is priceless.

Amazing pack of geniuses here 😌👌🏼

I really can't say in words what I just felt. Wow.

Really want to see how they rehearse something like this!

that chord progression at 4:30 though.

Jacob's arrangements are so mindblowing.

This is joy. The joy of music, the joy of experience, the joy of collaboration. Everything Jacob touches catches fire in ways that excite even the most experienced musicians. I love this so much

Nate is absolutely killing it on the percussions

I love the look on Cory's face when he gets into that zone.. ;)

Holy shit! The groove from around 8 minutes to the end………..mind blowing!

What a time to be alive. History is being made.

This truly is one of the most incredible pieces of music I've ever heard on so many levels, and that opinion is only heightened by watching the video.

Great, *great* song written by JC -- works so well with Snarky Puppy. Everyone praises JC's extraterrestrial ears and chops, and very rightly so; but this is also just incredible songwriting, not only for a 21-year-old, but for anyone. The groove is in seven, and the lyrics are killer. It's funky, it's addictive, it's hip, and it makes you feel awesome to hear it. You're listening to the pop of the future; he may have other plans, but Jacob could rule the roost of the recording industry for the next 25 years and no one would complain. Speaking of which -- uh, JC, if you ever want any extra keys in the studio, I'm highly employable, I speak your mad language, and I can survive on coffee alone for extended periods of time. (:

As a musician, I didn't understand much of this. I hear the notes and instruments, harmonies (roughly), feel the pulse, count most of the things/parts and funny suncopates, understand the production (how much of the budget went into earphones and amps? haha), I recognize the patterns, lines, intervals (maybe except some of Jacobs singing, I'm not that good at micro intervals).. but.. I can not imagine how to put a thin likeg this together. If I heard every instrument solo they would problably sound kinda random, and rehearsing this must be.. well.. I'm glad I'm not playing trumpet here. I mean.. It sounds great and impressive, truly inspiring, but I can't help to wonder what a mindset this is composed by. Thanks for some of the greatest performances I know of, Snarky!

This is honestly the best thing I've ever heard in my life.

i think this is by far the best arrangement of Don't You Know..... every single one of the musicians is so perfectly locked into the pocket and it flows so beautifully.... I think Collier wrote this to be played with Snarky Puppy

6:51-6:53 Larnell Lewis with single pedal do that shit I'm done

Cory Henry and Jacob collier😭🔥 I’m so blessed to witness a combination like that🤟🏾🙌🏾🔥

This has to be a contender for the greatest performance of any genre of all time. Just. Fabulous. So many incredible moments but the progression starting at 4:36 just kills me every time.

Its so beautiful too see all the people in this room connected...from each musician, vocalist and audience member...transending the boundaries of race, gender and culture...bonded by the sound, magnificently so...

Can we just talk about how much atmosphere Jacob's solo conveys?!

I don't know how many people are in that room. . . But *everyone* is moving their body to the music, or nodding their head in time to the groove, or SMILING. . and most are doing ALL THREE! THAT is good music, to produce that reaction in so many people

The reactions from top musicians hearing Jacob Colliers piano solo around the 5 minute mark is priceless.

0:51 still gives me chills. Just incredible 😬

This is such a beautiful marriage. I'd really love to see more of Collier with Snarky. Can't wait to see y'all in Austin for the second year in a row!

i hope one day Jacob will chillax and finally go into a classic jazz trio

Love the transition at 4:15 or so, Jacob builds a piano solo to the grooving base of Michael Teague and the excellent percussion in the background, then goes on to some incredible runs that shows he has the talent that puts him in a category reserved for the greats - Corea, Hancock, Jarrett.
