Nearly half a century into the band’s existence, Russell Ferrante, Bob Mintzer and Will Kennedy are bona fide veterans; their bassist, Dane Alderson, just hit 10 years as a Jacket. And their new album, Fasten Up (on Mack Avenue Records), is the band’s 27th studio achievement.

“The Yellowjackets sound as vital and tight as they ever have. Welcome to decade number five.” — Glide Magazine
