Snarky Puppy Partners with UMC in Label Deal

GroundUP will release recordings by band and others

By JazzTimes

Snarky Puppy has entered into a partnership with their first-ever major label home, Universal Music Classics. The arrangement sees UMC as the exclusive distributor of all releases under GroundUP Records, the label owned and operated by Michael League, the band’s bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger. 

The first release under the GroundUP/Universal Music Classics umbrella will be the band’s ninth album, Family Dinner—Volume Two, out February 12. The record is a follow-up to the Grammy-winning Family Dinner—Volume One (2014).

In February, UMC will release the new GroundUP record from the Bill Laurance Quartet, After Sun, followed by the debut album from Canadian singer-songwriter Michelle Willis in March, and two albums from Snarky Puppy’s electric keyboardist Cory Henry in 2016.

Family Dinner—Volume Two includes both the audio album and a companion DVD that features footage of the recording process, artist interviews and behind-the-scenes b-roll. Recorded in New Orleans, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the set will be donated to the charity organization Roots of Music.
