Two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer David Crosby, who performed with Crosby, Stills & Nash on Saturday in Minneapolis at a benefit for PACER Center, is singing the praises of some lesser known music makers, especially the Grammy-winning collective Snarky Puppy.

"They're a big jazz band out of the University of North Texas. They're excellent. I don't know if it's a good name or not, but they're a helluva good band. About 14 pieces. The last album is called 'We Like It Here.' "
