Throughout their storied 43-year history, the Yellowjackets have recorded 26 albums, won 2 GRAMMY's and received 16 GRAMMY nominations – performed countless sold-out tours, and enjoyed worldwide critical acclaim and commercial success.
The Yellowjackets formed in the late 1970’s as the backup band for guitarist Robben Ford. They recorded their first album together in 1980.
The most recent addition to the band adds Australian bass player Dane Alderson in to the mix. With his exceptional rhythmic sensibility and natural disposition toward groove, Dane brings a new energy to the band and adds a youthful approach to the music.
Their album Jackets XL with the WDR Big Band was nominated for a GRAMMY in 2021. Their latest album Parallel Motion (2022) also received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album and is a true testament to the longevity and resilience of a band who debuted over 40 years ago. Consistently reinventing themselves through elevated instrumentation in their signature electro-acoustic soundscape, the current lineup showcases a collective at their prime.
