Yellowjackets: Twenty Five
by Woodrow Wilkins
Longevity in music is something to be celebrated--especially in jazz, where a “hit occurs with the frequency of a winter storm in August. With Twenty Five, the Yellowjackets have reached a milestone attainable only with sustained excellence. Originally named the Robben Ford Group after the band's leader and guitarist, the Yellowjackets began buzzing in 1981 with ...

Yellowjackets: Altered State
by Jim Santella

Jimmy Haslip plays the most elastic bass since Victor Bailey, and ...
