More than 35 years after its inception, the Yellowjackets continue to evolve artistically on Cohearence. Founding keyboardist Russell Ferrante, longtime reeds player Bob Mintzer and drummer Will Kennedy are joined by new recruit, virtuoso electric bassist Dane Alderson, on these songs featuring a range of jazz flavours, including a rousing Weather Report jazz fusion vibe, a swinging switch-up on John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, a moving rendition of a folk song classic, a funky soul-jazz excursion and the chamber jazz-like grace on the final track, Cohearence. The album plays out as a multifaceted document of how far the once fusion band has come.
"There’s a lot of gratitude (celebrating our 35 years) ... it’s never been a given to us that we’d continue to be able to have the opportunity to write and record for that length of time. But you couldn’t have that in place unless you had a band of generous, giving musicians, none of whom have ever been ego’ed out.”
- Russell Ferrante, keyboardist
