Jeff Coffin & the Mu’tet

Sunday November 2, 2014 @ 7:00 PM

***** This is an Album Release show for Mu'tet's new album: "Side Up" *****

THE MU'TET is led by JEFF COFFIN, saxophonist from Dave Matthews Band. Also a composer, educator, and 3x Grammy winner, you likely know Jeff from his 14 year tenure with the genre-defying Bela Fleck & the Flecktones (1997-2010).

The Mu'tet takes its name from the word 'mutation', clearly reflecting Coffin's philosophy that music must continue to change and mutate in order to grow.

JC & the Mu'tet strive to expand themselves, as well as their fans, with music flavored by their wide musical interests. Blending music from the deep wells of funk, African, New Orleans, Indian, jazz, folk, Gypsy, rock, Brazilian and other cultures of music, this band is unlike any other you will hear.

JC & the Mu'tet send shockwaves down people’s spines with their fierce soloing and inspiring, memorable compositions. Coffin & trumpeter Bill Fanning use guitar effects on their horns, which they call 'electro-sax' and 'space trumpet'. Coffin is also known to play two, count ‘em…two, saxophones at the same time!

“Any band that jams like this has earned an exclamation point in the title of its live album…equal parts Galactic and Dirty Dozen Brass Band…(Coffin) enters like a spinning top, corkscrewing his phrases into a tightly wound circle that turns into a cyclone.” - Jazz Times

“These players are peaking around corners and lifting up rocks to see what they find, and they’re stretching out wide to push boundaries…twisting the mind like a metaphysical puzzle.” - www.hittinthenote.com
