The Muâtet is led by Jeff Coffin, saxophonist from Dave Matthews Band. Also a composer, educator and 3x Grammy-winner, you likely also know Jeff from his 14 years with the genre-defying Bela Fleck & the Flecktones (1997-2010).
â¨â¨The Muâtetâs recent studio recording, âInto The Airâ, reached the top 40 on the JazzWeek Chart and was named #22 on JazzTimesâ Top 50 Albums of 2012. It also debuted at #6 on the iTunes Jazz Charts!â¨â¨
The Muâtet takes its name from the word âmutationâ, clearly reflecting Jeffâs idea that music must continue to change and mutate in order to grow.â¨â¨
Coffin strives to expand himself, his band mates and listeners, with music flavored by his wide musical interests. Drawing from the deep wells of African, New Orleans, Indian, fund, jazz, folk, Gypsy, rock, fusion, Brazilian and other styles of music, Coffin sends shockwaves down peopleâs spines with his fierce soloing and inspiring, memorable compositions. A passionate and curious musician, Coffin is known to use guitar effects on his sax, which he calls âelectro-saxâ as well as sometimes playing two, count âem, two, saxes at the same time! â¨â¨
The Muâtet features an all-star group of musicians:

"Any band that jams like this has earned an exclamation point in the title of its live albumâŚequal parts Galactic and Dirty Dozen Brass BandâŚ(Coffin) enters like a spinning top, corkscrewing his phrases into a tightly wound circle that turns into a cyclone." Jazz Timesâ¨â¨
"Some of the best fusion heard in many a year." www.jazzreview.com
