Biography

In music, time flies, styles unstoppably evolve, and bands come and go. But there are also rare stable, forward moving forces on the scene—one prime example in jazz being the Yellowjackets. As of 2011, this beloved eclectic, electro-acoustic jazz band that keyboardist Russell Ferrante and bassist Jimmy Haslip built celebrates the ripe, young but deep age of 30—a milestone commemorated with another… Read more in Amazon's Yellow Jackets Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Samba-dy get me a soda..., February 29, 2000

blender - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samurai Samba (Audio CD)

This is one of the Yellowjackets' least remembered CDs, but still good nonetheless. From this album came a lot of the innovative world music influences observed in later albums (most notably Wildlife from the Four Corners CD).

I had this one on vinyl a long time ago, but haven't replaced it with a CD yet. Good to listen to, but not in a hurry to get it back into my library.

Peace Out.

If you want to hear the ORIGINAL and TRUE Yellowjackets sound, get this CD! This CD along with their "Four Corners" CD are a must have for any true Yellowjackets fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars A tight piece of work, November 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Samurai Samba (Audio CD)

Good tunes, snappy rhythm section. Reminiscent of Spyrogira but with more complex flavors. I had this in vynil and regretted not taping it. Now I am going for the CD version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Old Yellow Jackets
If you're a Bob Mitzer fan, you probably won't care for this album. This is one of their earlier albums and they hadn't "found" themselves yet, IMO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samurai Samba is fantastic!
I have loved listening to this group for over 20 years. The music is uplifting and flexible to your mood and can even change your mood if you allow it to. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good condition, fast to receive
I was very pleased with this transaction. The item was in very good condition and I received it just a few days after purchasing.
Thank you.

2.0 out of 5 stars not very complex from the sax end
I can hear some really good sax from the yellowjackets, and this one just seems kind of slow. It sounds like a lot of keyboard sampling and easy Kenny-G'ish tones, very pop. Read more

I first listened to these guys on the Star Trek IV soundtrack, and I can still feel the magic when I listen to those tracks 15 years later. Read more
