Jeff Coffin on horns, Felix Pastorius on bass, Jeff "Apt. Q-258" Sipe on drums, Kofi Burbridge on keys and Bill Fanning on trumpet, at Drome, New York City, March 18, 2011.
"Jeff Coffin continues to turn heads as one of the most impressive saxophonists in modern [jazz] music...some amazing compositional skills...The end result is nothing short of glorious, a must hear."
The Mu'tet is led by 3x Grammy winning saxophonist & composer Jeff Coffin. On tour with Dave Matthews Band since July, 2008 and with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones since 1997, Coffin strives to expand himself, his band mates and listeners with music flavored by his wide musical interests. Drawing from African, New Orleans, Indian, funk, jazz, folk, Gypsy, rock, fusion, Brazilian and other styles of music, Coffin sends shockwaves down people's spines with his fierce soloing and inspiring compositions. A passionate and curious player, Coffin is known to use guitar effects on his sax and flute as well as sometimes playing two, count 'em...two, saxes at the same time!
On drums is the legendary Jeff "Apt. Q-258" Sipe. Jeff & Jeff have been playing together for many years and Sipe recorded on the Mu'tet cd BLOOM as well as an upcoming duet project with Coffin. He is renowned for his mind bending drumming with the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Trey Anastasio, Susan Tedeschi, Phil Lesh, Project Z, Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane, Leftover Salmon, Alex Machacek, The Jimmy Herring Project, and many, many others. When Jeff Sipe unleashes his whirlwind of rhythms and grooves they have to be seen and, especially, heard to be believed.
Kofi Burbridge on keyboards and flute brings his not-so-secret Weapons of Mass deFunkstruction to the Mu'tet. You better watch your back! Kofi is best known for his work with Derek Trucks Band and for being one of the most gifted improvisers on the music scene...PERIOD! Kofi is featured on the latest Mu'tet release MUTOPIA. Kofi has recently recorded with the legendary HERBIE HANCOCK!
Bill Fanning rounds out the horns on trumpet. Bill has performed with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, the Mu'tet, Glenn Frye (of the Eagles), George Garzone, Jon Faddis, Maria Schneider and George Russell. In 2005, Coffin produced Bill's debut CD, "Parakletos". A brilliant improvisor, musician, and former semi-pro baseball player, more about Bill can be found by visiting www.fanmanmusic.com.
Felix Pastorius, son of bass great Jaco Pastorius, roots the Mu'tet on electric bass. He has been playing with the group since 2002 and is also featured on MUTOPIA. Felix recently toured the US with the Heavy Pets and has been living and playing in NYC. At 6' 6" tall, Felix is a gifted composer and a monster bassist with the chops and sensitivity of someone twice his height.
