Editor's review
Picking up where Joe Henderson, Miles Davis, and others left off in the '70s, Jacob Yoffee is developing ways to combine rock and funk rhythms with jazz harmony, swing, and melody. His sax playing is well developed (as well as awarded), and his drum/bass/guitar backing is equally out of sight.
Biography
Combining elements of the M-Base style with the music of his generation, Jacob Yoffee utilizes the sound make-up of a rock group as a vehicle for modern jazz solos.
Jacob Yoffee is an active performer on the modern jazz scene. He has performed at Artscape, the Columbia Arts Festival, the Baltimore Waterfront Festival, the Litchfield Jazz Festival, the Rehoboth Beatch Autumn Jazz Festival and Blues Alley. Contact:jacobyoffee@hotmail.com
