COFFIN/PERLSON/KRAUSS

The incredible trio of saxophonist Jeff Coffin,
the virtuosic Jordan Perlson on drums,
& the legendary Viktor Krauss on upright bass!

• TOUR DATES •

The Coffin/Perlson/Krauss Trio came together in 2020 when Jeff, Jordan, and Viktor would assemble every couple weeks in Coffin’s home studio to make music together. They have recorded (audio and video) a mind-blowing project that is slated for a fall 2023 release on Ear Up Records. The musicianship of these three artists is not to be denied and they are each deeply woven into the musical history of the 20th and 21st centuries.

JEFF COFFIN:
Jeff Coffin is a saxophonist and composer who has earned international acclaim for his work with Dave Matthews Band and Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, as well as his 23+ solo projects. Coffin’s approach to the saxophone is marked by a fearless sense of exploration, fusing elements of jazz, funk, world music, and rock into a style that is uniquely his own.

A three-time Grammy Award winner, Coffin has toured the world, captivating audiences with his powerful, emotive playing. In addition to his work as a performer, Coffin is deeply committed to music education, teaching at Vanderbilt University and conducting workshops and clinics around the globe. He is also the founder of the independent record label Ear Up Records and co-founder of AfricaNashville - which promotes cross cultural relationships between celebrated African and American artists in Nashville, TN where Jeff lives. Coffin’s passion for sharing knowledge has made him a respected mentor to aspiring musicians everywhere.

On October 19 2024, Dave Matthews Band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Jeff will be one of a handful musicians to attain this incredible musical honor!
