JEFF COFFIN is an internationally recognized saxophonist, bandleader, composer, educator and author who has been traveling the globe since the late 20th Century. He is a 3x Grammy Award winner from Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, and played with them from 1997-2010. In July 2008, Jeff began touring with Dave Matthews Band, and officially joined the group in 2009 following the tragic passing of founding member LeRoi Moore. When not on the road with Dave Matthews, Coffin fronts his own group, Jeff Coffin & the Mu'tet, teaches at Vanderbilt University, presents clinics around the world, and, in 2015, established the Nashville Jazz Composers Collective in Nashville, TN. In 2011 he started Ear Up Records as a place for emerging as well as established talent. As a studio musician, Coffin has played on hundreds of recordings and is regarded as one of the top players in his profession. As a heavily in-demand D'addario and Yamaha Clinician, Coffin has presented well over 300 music clinics around the world to students in the US, South Africa, Australia, South America, Europe, Canada and Mexico to rave reviews.

‘MUST HEAR’ RECORDINGS
Charlie Parker - Bird With Strings
This set a precedent for everything else to follow. Obviously, one of the great geniuses of any style of music; I believe that Bird's music and playing should be studied like Mozart, Beethoven or Bach.
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
This is a pivotal recording on SO many levels. Everyone's playing, not just John's, exemplifies the 'spirit' of music and of the humanity of great artists. This recording is extraordinary in its breadth and scope of influence.
Johnny Griffin - Introducing Johnny Griffin
This is a recording that will alter your concept of the way a saxophone can sound. All you can do is laugh out loud and realize you'll never be this good! His sound, his concept, his drive and spirit come through on every note and phrase he plays. Everything about this recording is amazing. It's
