Saxophonist/composer Jeff Coffin believes that all things in life are connected, and in his 5+ years with the Grammy Award winning Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Coffin has had the opportunity to firsthand experience that belief. People come up to us and talk about music and about life and tell us how listening to and playing music has changed them as a person. The fact that music has the power to bring about change, create emotions and to heal and nourish shows me that everything is connected at its root; every culture and society in the world has music.

In addition to his heavy touring schedule with the Flecktones, Coffin's versatility has made him a highly in demand session player and he has appeared on nearly 100 recordings. He also continues to teach privately and do clinics at schools around the country, trying to pass along his belief that it's all about education. "I am always looking for new things to think about and new ideas to develop musically. I ask people all the time to share with me what they are checking out and I, in turn, try to do the same." Even when Coffin dips into his 'two-horns-at-once' bag, the technique emerges as a natural outgrowth of his musings. Each step along his musical journey has been deliberate with the intention of moving him forward in order to experience the growth, propulsion and movement in his music just as he has in life – both connected at the root of his experiences.

Jeff has also had the opportunity to perform with some of musics finest including … Dave Matthews Band, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Branford Marsalis, Charlie Hunter, The Wailers, Karl Denson & Tiny Universe, Galactic, Phish, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, Bruce Hornsby, Van Morrison, John Scofield, Chick Corea, Don Henley, Glenn Frye, Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, etc…
