Free Saxophone Clinic with Jeff Coffin and the Mu'tet - Toronto, ON

Jeff Coffin & the Mu'tet will present a saxophone workshop coinciding with the long awaited release of the Yamaha YSS82Z Custom Z Soprano Saxophone at Long & McQuade Bloor on Saturday August 20th at 1:00pm.

The Mu’tet is led by 3x Grammy winning saxophonist & composer Jeff Coffin. On tour with Dave Matthews Band since July, 2008 and with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones since 1997, Coffin strives to expand himself, his band mates and listeners with music flavoured by his wide musical interests. Drawing from African, New Orleans, Indian, funk, jazz, folk, Gypsy, rock, fusion, Brazilian and other styles of music, Coffin sends shockwaves down people’s spines with his fierce soloing and inspiring compositions. A passionate and curious player, Coffin is known to use guitar effects on his sax as well as sometimes playing two saxes at the same time! Jeff is a Yamaha Artist, performing on Custom Z soprano, alto and tenor saxophones.

The all-star line-up of the Mu'tet includes Felix Pastorius on bass, Bill Fanning on trumpet, Jeff Sipe on drums and Mike Seal on guitar.

The YSS82Z is the newest member of the Yamaha's Custom Z Saxophone lineup.

Yamaha’s Z Series saxophones have become a modern classic and are used by leading professional players worldwide. Their strong, clear sound and excellent playability have set new standards in professional model saxophones. In addition, the Z Series soprano saxophones offer extremely accurate intonation along with comfortable response.

In the spirit of the classic Yamaha 62 Series soprano saxophones, the YSS-82Z and YSS-82ZR feature a one-piece neck through bell design. With a direct and powerful sound, the Z Series represents the next step in the evolution of the custom series of Yamaha instruments.

The YSS82Z will be on display at the clinic - bring your mouthpiece to try it out!
