The Yellowjackets, a
Grammy award-winning contemporary
jazz group, will perform
Tuesday, April 27 at the
Newtown campus at 8 p.m. in
the Gateway Auditorium.
The group is made up of keyboardist
Russell Ferrante, bass
player Jimmy Haslip and sax
player Bob Mintzer.
On The Yellowjackets website,
the group announced that
William Kennedy will be playing
the drums for the band,
replacing Marcus Baylor.
Baylor was in the band for 10
years. The rest of the members
wish him well in his future
musical career.
The group’s name was chosen
from a list that someone
brought to practice.
“Yellowjackets seemed to
connotate something lively,
energetic, and something with
a ‘sting,” wrote Ferrante of the
origin of the band’s name.
Ferrante has been a member
of the Yellowjackets since the
group began in 1981.
Mark your calendars to come
out and see the band play right
here at Bucks, for a night of
pure enjoyment!

Student tickets can be purchased
at the Student Life
Information Center or at the
Bucks bookstore for $15.
Tickets for the general public
will be sold at $25 in the
Bucks bookstore and online at
