Yellowjackets - A Rise In The Road (2013)

The tunes on 'A Rise in the Road' are Yellowjacket-certified complex - laden with knuckle-busting time signatures and high-wire musicianship yet maintain a connection with the listener with every note, every bar and each successive song. Felix Pastorius joins the band on bass and replaces founding member Jimmy Haslip. Russell Ferrante, Will Kennedy and Bob Mintzer make up the group and along with guest trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, display an almost telepathic interplay across this collection of all-new tunes.
