Yellowjackets (USA)
JAZZ OF FOUR CONTINENTS

LEGENDARY FUSION BAND AT JAZZ DOCK! 

The Yellowjackets have consistently forged ahead in their evolving artistic statements. The band has recorded close to 30 albums, been nominated for 17 GRAMMY® Awards, and has adventurously amplified the eclectic, electro-acoustic soundscape, creating a unique jazz sound since its fusion beginnings. While the Los Angeles-based Yellowjackets have been a creative force on the jazz scene since 1981 when they recorded their eponymous debut, their fourth Mack Avenue Records album, Raising Our Voice, once again ups the ante with bold new strides by inviting vocalist extraordinaire Luciana Souza to collaborate with the group for seven of its thirteen tunes, as well as subtly taking a resistant stand against the status quo of the cultural and political undercurrent of our times. The Jackets are comprised of pianist/keyboardist/co-founder Russell Ferrante, bassist Dane Alderson (in his second recording with the group) and drummer Will Kennedy, who joined the band in 1987 and then in 2000 took a 10-year hiatus before returning to the drum chair.
