Yellowjackets with Mike Stern: Lifecycle
by Woodrow Wilkins

The first Yellowjackets recording in fifteen years to feature a ...

Yellowjackets: Altered State
by Jim Santella

Yellowjackets: Altered State
by Woodrow Wilkins
There's something distinctive about Yellowjackets' sound. It's contemporary in that the music is fresh and employs some modern conveniences--such as the electric bass and the EWI.
