Yellowjackets

Throughout their storied 43-year history, theYellowjacketshave recorded 25 albums, received 17 Grammy® nominations – won 2 – performed countless sold-out tours, and enjoyed worldwide critical acclaim and commercial success.

TheYellowjacketsformed in the late 1970’s as the backup band for guitaristRobben Ford.They recorded their first album together in 1980. Shortly after that recording, however, Ford decided to part ways and go in a different musical direction. As a result, the modern dayYellowjacketswere formed — a trio withRussell Ferrante,Jimmy HaslipandRicky Lawson. Since then, and with the addition ofBob Mintzer,theYellowjackets have gained and maintained prominence as one of jazz’s most influential and loved groups.

Over the years the band has undergone numerous lineup changes. Never failing to rise to the inevitable challenges of adjustment, theYellowjackets-Russell Ferrante, William Kennedy, Bob Mintzer- have maintained an extraordinarily high quality of musicianship that is the rival of many but a surprise to no one who knows and appreciates the band and their music.
