As he speaks with Relix, League, who formed Snarky Puppy in Dallas but ascended to international acclaim while based in New York, is partway through a residency at the Manhattan Blue Note that will stretch through most of January. During the extended run, he will play in numerous different configurations, blurring the lines between sounds primarily classified as jazz, funk, folk and world music and debuting a slew of new original material.
