From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeff Coffin (born August 5, 1965) is an American jazz musician. He is most known as a saxophonist but also plays clarinet and flute. After attending the University of New Hampshire and the University of North Texas, Coffin entered the Nashville music scene in 1991. He studied under Joe Lovano, under a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
He has been a member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones since March 1997, and has performed on every Flecktones album since and including Left of Cool. Coffin has released several albums independent from the Flecktones, most notably the February 2005 release Bloom, recorded during the Flecktones year-long hiatus. He is well known for playing two saxophones (alto and tenor) at the same time, a technique popularized by Roland Kirk. He recently played clarinet for The Waifs new album Sun Dirt Water.
Jeff Coffin has also played on hundreds of studio recordings, and has performed around the world including a 2007 performance at the esteemed Carnegie Hall with the Flecktones. As a highly in demand clinician, Jeff has presented clinics from Farmington, Maine to Perth, Australia and is also an internationally acclaimed Yamaha and Vandoren Performing Artist and clinician since 2000.
