   About Yellowjackets
What's In A Name? If you're expecting something cute or meaningful in the naming of the group, you may be disappointed. Russell Ferrante relates the following on how the group's name was chosen: "I wish there was a clever rationale, but there really isn't. At the time we were making our demo in hopes of landing a recording contract, we were still the "Robben Ford Band". We had recorded one record with Robben, (primarily instrumental) but his record company was "encouraging" him do do something more pop and vocal oriented. As we also wanted to continue playing instrumental music, we all decided to form a "band within a band" so to speak. At the demo session Jimmy brought in a sheet full of possible names, most just awful. The one that popped out was Yellowjackets as it seemed to connotate something lively, energetic, and something with a "sting". That's really about as deep as it went. Once you choose a name, you're stuck with it so here we are, 16 years later, grown men playing in a band named 'Yellowjackets.'"

Silver Sound - Online Mastering!





Jul 8 2009 3:57 PM

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion.
Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar.
Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.

Nice story the one about the origin of the name of the band.
And what a band!

I hear your music since before cds even existed. I still keep the 1986 'Shades' album 'tape cassette'.

Hello The Yellowjackets,

Thank you very much for accepting the request :-)
It's always a great joy to listen to your first album many years after I discovered your music... I especially like to listen it when I wake up, I'm sure that it will be a good day ;-):-))))

Greetings from the totally snow-covered and sunny Pyrenees Mountains,
Camélia.
