Timeline is the Yellowjackets’ 21st official recording, not including special side projects and guest spots. The band’s background gleams with various honors, including 17 Grammy nominations and 2 Grammy award wins to show for their efforts - so far.
Nearly two generations of fans have enjoyed the lasting influence and jazz tradition of Yellowjackets - 30 years of continuous service to America’s native art form have made them unique in a business known for faddishness, and important in that ever-changing world of music.

This is an essential chapter of the Yellowjackets story that continues to be written. Available on 180g double vinyl for the first time courtesy of Mack Avenue Records.
