DCist Preview: The Jeff Coffin Mu’tet @ Blues Alley

Many artists claim to eschew boundaries, but few reach the point where categories no longer apply. Jeff Coffin is one of those rare artists. Not only is he a world class saxophonist with an immediately identifiable sound, Coffin is also an accomplished photographer, educator and public speaker. With a style rooted in his formal jazz training, Coffin’s music embraces any and all influences. This open-minded approach led to a longstanding relationship with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, as well as the call to take the saxophone chair in the Dave Matthews Band after founding member Leroi Moore’s unfortunate passing. But even with such high profile gigs under his belt, Coffin refuses to rest. His band, the Mu’tet, features a rotating cast of musicians and serves as a vehicle for Coffin’s undying curiosity.
