The Yellowjackets are unique. The fact that fusion music has retained its vitality and charm is due in no small part to this band, which conquered the music world from California in the early 1980s and has been setting one highlight after another ever since. When keyboard expert Russell Ferrante, bass ace Jimmy Haslip, saxophone star Bob Mintzer and drum dervish Will Kennedy let loose together live, pop fans are just as thrilled as jazz lovers. The passion with which these four virtuosos infuse brilliant solos into smooth jazz sounds and bring sophisticated studio music to life on stage is infectious. Concert from July 1994.
