From Jeff's website...
"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."
"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 and musician, 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."
"Guitarist, Bobby Lee Rodgers tours with the Mu’tet for the first time in November 2009! BLR spent the better part of a decade releasing four albums and touring the globe with his band, The Codetalkers. In early 2009, Bobby Lee decided that his music had moved to the point that it was no longer represented by The Codetalkers name, a band that he started in Atlanta with Colonel Bruce Hampton, and began touring under his own name. Following a tour with Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Leftover Salmon), Bobby Lee Rodgers and Friends performed a pair of sold out shows at the world-renowned Savannah Music Festival in early 2009. He was joined by Marcus Williams (Fiji Mariners) on drums, Ike Stubblefield on the Hammond B-3 organ, Shannon Hoover (Jonathan Scales Fourchestra) on bass, and Joe Craven (Jerry Garcia) on fiddle and percussion. This lead to a knockout performance at the Wanee Festival in June, which included a trio comprised of Rodgers, Stubblefield and Williams."
