Family Dinner, Vol. 2 (Deluxe)

Weather Report's legacy looms large as this hard-grooving, 13-piece crew of sophisticated populists go international on their second collaborative album. Recording live in New Orleans with an eclectic handful of guests, Snarky Puppy explore Afro-Peruvian rhythms with Susana Baca, throw a hoedown with Swedish string band Väsen and mash it up Mali-style with Salif Keita. They also provide a luxurious pillow for hippie crooner David Crosby's blanket apology to womankind. Electronically augmented one-man vocal chorus Jacob Collier anchors the album's extended centrepiece, "Don't You Know".
