Guitarist and Grammy-winning artist Mark Lettieri on the Dallas music scene, Snarky Puppy, and his own original project, Mark Lettieri Group.
Jaimie talks to guitarist Mark Lettieri about the North Texas jazz fusion scene, from how he found his way into it to how it led to him joining Snarky Puppy. He shares what he’s learned from playing music with living legends like Bernard Wright and Bobby Sparks, and how he became a part of the Fearless Flyers, the Vulfpeck spinoff super group. (Watch Mark and the Fearless Flyers in their latest music video “Ace of Aces” here.)
We play a song from his 2019 album “Things of That Nature” and find out what’s going on with Mark’s follow-up to his other 2019 record “Deep: The Baritone Sessions“). Check out all of Mark’s music on Bandcamp, Spotify, and all other platforms.
