Yellowjackets - Live from Jazz St. Louis

Throughout their storied 40-plus year history, Yellowjackets have consistently forged ahead in their evolving artistic statements. The band has recorded dozens of albums, been nominated for a vast array of GRAMMY® Awards, and has adventurously amplified the eclectic, electro-acoustic soundscape, creating a unique jazz sound since its fusion beginnings. Now the band returns to bring brilliance to the Bistro stage!
❝ …a perfectly combustible electric-acoustic outfit whose smart, often challenging and unpredictable compositions draw from fusion, postbox and contemporary jazz. ❞

[@pikerflinn]

Been at the centre of my jazz universe for at least 25 years, and great guys to meet and talk to. Always a great pleasure to hear them.

[@Oeg925]

Bass player… amazing feel

[@mscher769]

I'm a big fan of Bob Mintzer. He is a musician's musician and so are all the members of this musical group. Just like MJQ these guys are the best in the business. Their playing, arranging and composing keeps the music we call jazz interesting and fun to listen to. These guys are an inspiration to musicians and jazz fans alike and their music will live on long after they are gone.

The best,Legendary tight ensemble ...this is the University right here,so much to learn from just listening to these masters of their craft!

[@paulwilliamsoniii7224]

Love Will Kennedy.....what a guy...his play style is just so unique.!!

[@TonySchopp]

The earliest that I could jump on the fan wagon was 36 years ago. What a marvelous ensemble to follow over that time span. Each LP and CD in my collection is a time capsule in my life, much like chapters of a book. Every time I’ve been fortunate enough to catch them live, I’ve treated the experience as a Jazz Pilgrimage. Thank you for posting this amazing show! Salute to Russ, Bob, Will & Dane. This production did them proud. It’s lush treat to hear and feel!

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

All very good Musicians. 👌🏿 The very steady Will Kennedy and the youngest member of the group, the incredible Dane Alderson make a great rhythm section 🔥

[@gulbalagulba23]

Still unbelievable... after all these years...next level...

[@fgauer1]

[@marcopezzola]

[@loungegroover1]

This band is one of reason why i started to play saxophone - Marc Russo first and than the incredible Mister Mintzer. And í´ m becoming a pro as a saxplayer and still love their music. Since over 30 years í´ m still with them. Best Fusion Jazz ever😊

Ferrante Legend. 🎹🔥

[@fulviasordelli3015]

il miglior concerto che ho visto quest'anno. Sempre GRANDI!

[@MrDaveaccord]

Been following them since the beginning when they backed up guitar player Robben Ford on his Inside Story record. Simply one of the greatest quartets on the planet. Over forty-five years of excellence.

[@dagostinoification]

yes they are great musicians ! J'ai rencontré Will à Paris ! Quelle gentillesse ! MAGNIFIQUE !

[@helenatyukodi5227]

I had the pleasure to hear and see them few times in Europe, in Hungary and Switzerland. YJ was the first jazz band I discovered in my youth and I'm still big fan of. Being bit sad about Jimmy's leaving but still my favorite band and Greenhouse my favorite composition.

[@giorgiofanunza9930]

I love Will, he had changed my vision of drumming.....Since 'The Spin' they are among my favorite bands.❤❤❤❤

[@RawAngelix]

WTF...

[@edsonluiz7385]

I' m down on my knees...bob mintzer. Belong to old school

[@1masterfader]

Yellow Jackets influenced my writing over the years. My song "Zappa" & "Pocket Potts" are Yellow influenced. I wonder why I can't find the Four corners album on Apple music or spotify.

[@helenatyukodi5227]

Drums and bass changed place compared to the past?

[@josedejesustorresgutierrez]

😊

[@leoniea138]

What happened to their vocalist

[@JJamJ]

They’ve never had a vocalist fronting the band to my knowledge. However, they have guest vocalists now and again.

[@pascaljeanne8002]
