The Yellowjackets have reimagined 10 songs from their 40+ year career with the help of the world renowned WDR Big Band. Having played with the WDR Big Band 25 years ago, the Yellowjackets are revisiting and updating their sound while working as a large cohesive group, versus their traditional quartet formation. New arrangements of the music are expressive, fun, and truly reintroduce the band in a refreshing way. released November 6, 2020
