5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, February 7, 2003

I have followed the YJ's since their first album. I had never seen them live until just one month ago. After seeing them in an intimate small club atmosphere my intrest in the band was rekindled and the flame was intense. It needed to be to swallow the hefty price tag for Mint Jam. It was worth every bite. The recording quality is exceptional and the music is some of the best I have ever heard from this or any progressive jazz group. As a player and performer as well as owner of video and audio production facilities I can say this CD delivers at every point and on all the lines in-between. Buzz, Buzz!

i've known yellowjackets for more than 15 years, but this live version of their performance really makes me crazy about them! This is definitely yellowjackets at their best. you'll feel you're with them in their superb jam session. russell ferrante's playing is definitely breath taking. get one know and you'll forget everything else.

I'm not sure how I have managed to miss this release. This is an outstanding live record. Everyone is really letting it happen and they deliver a fine performance. If you're a Yellowjackets fan, you should already have this release, if you are new to modern jazz, this is a great place to start. These guys are at the very top of the modern jazz world and this record shows why. You get great jazz played on electric instruments with their own unique voice. This is not smooth jazz, this is real jazz and thank God for that. I know a lot of people that are hesitant to try anything modern for the fear that it's really just Kenny G. in disguise. This is not the case with the Yellowjackets. There is a ton of great modern jazz out there that is real jazz and this is a great place to start. Highly recommended.
