Yellowjackets/Austria 2024

Formed in 1981 and centered around Russell Ferrante, this contemporary jazz band boasts a career spanning more than 40 years. This is a must-have title for fans, recorded from their latest European tour in 2024 at the famous club "Porgy & Bess Club" in Vienna, Austria, with official sound quality from the broadcast source. The band is centered around Russell Ferrante, who is active as a backing member of Sadao Watanabe, and Bob Mintzer, who is also known as the arranger of Jaco Pastorius Word of Mouth Big Band, and has established a very high quality of originality with sophisticated improvisation, harmony and arrangement. On this latest tour, the moment when the musical personalities of the four members interactively intertwine with their representative songs and songs picked from their previous album "Parallel Motion" is simply magnificent. In addition, the bass is played by Dane Alderson, a transcendental bassist from Austria, making it feel like they have inherited Jaco's DNA.
