Overview

The Yellowjackets, formed in the late 1970s, have become one of jazz’s most influential groups, with 26 albums, 16 Grammy® nominations, and 2 wins. Initially a backup band for Robben Ford, they evolved into a trio before adding saxophonist Bob Mintzer. Over the years, the lineup has changed, but their high-quality musicianship has remained constant, with current members Russell Ferrante, William Kennedy, Bob Mintzer, and bassist Dane Alderson. Alderson brings fresh energy with his exceptional rhythmic sensibility. Their 2022 album Parallel Motion earned a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, further cementing their legacy. Jackets XL with the WDR Big Band (2021) was also Grammy-nominated, showcasing their continuous reinvention through their signature electro-acoustic sound. As NPR says, “the Yellowjackets remain at the top of their game.”
