The Yellowjackets are an American jazz fusion quartet.

The current lineup consists of Marcus Baylor (drums, percussion), Russell Ferrante (piano, keyboards, synthesizers), Jimmy Haslip (electric basses), and Bob Mintzer (saxophones, bass clarinet, EWI).

Mintzer joined the group in 1991. Baylor joined the group in 2000. The original group, called The Robben Ford Group, consisted of Robben Ford (guitar), Ricky Lawson (drums), Russell Ferrante, and Jimmy Haslip. Ford had originally assembled the group to record Inside Story, but left in 1978, seeking a more vocal and commercial sound. Ricky Lawson left in 1986 to tour with Lionel Richie.

Other members have included Mark Russo (1985-1989; saxophones), William Kennedy (1987-1999; drums), Peter Erskine (1999; drums), and Terri Lynn Carrington (2000, drums).

Does it get any better than this group? First heard them back in the early 80s--their groove still smoothes me.
