 Jeff Coffin Mu'tet | Bloom
The core of Coffin’s superband is pianist/Hammond B3 organist Tyler Wood, guitarist Pat Bergeron, and drummer Jeff Sipe.
Coffin gets down with mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile, tabla supplied by Fleck’s percussionist Futureman, an electric bass from the original funk master Victor Wooten, and numerous samples from the prolific DJ Logic (now seemingly a fixture on the jazz/jam band scene).
With Bloom Coffin and the Mu’tet successfully take the listener on a sonic journey through such an abundance of styles, colors, and textures that any attempt to box Coffin or the Mu’tet into one singular style would be an exercise in futility.

Since 1997, Coffin has traveled the world with the Flecktones, performing with musicians of all walks, sharing the stage and the recording studio with such diverse artists as The Dave Matthews Band, Branford Marsalis, Garth Brooks, Van Morrison, and the Wailers.
Paradoxically, Coffin’s most personal effort involves the largest group of collaborators yet assembled for one of his solo projects.
While Coffin’s technical facility on his instruments leads him to tackle the most imposing of situations and structures, his vision of music as a continuously fluid, organic medium allows him to weave the most disparate strands together into performances of indescribable singularity and transcendence.

 CD Review of Jeff Coffin - Commonality on Compass Records @ jazzreview.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Jeff Coffin is a young fella who plays tenor & alto saxes…and that's all I know about him.
Yet Coffin & co. (Rod McGaha, Tom Giampirtro, Chris Enghauser) recall the spirit of those groundbreaking ESP & Impulse dates without sounding like pale imitations.
Coffin is tart, sardonic, and mercurial, with the "cry" of the blues without "sounding blue." There's a nice use of space & quiet - all concerned realize whatcha put it is as important (if not more important) as whatcha leave out.

 CD Review of Jeff Coffin Mu'tet - Bloom on Compass Records @ jazzreview.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Jeff Coffin had to coin the word "Mu'tet" (which is a mutation of the word "mutation") to describe the group in total.
"The Evil Boweevil" is a bluesy affair with Coffin using a harmonizer with his tenor sax.
Coffin plays around with interesting time signatures on "The Mad Hatter Rides Again" which is a funky James Brown kind of offering.

 Bloom - Jeff Coffin - Song Listings
That's the multi-saxophonist's way of covering the many different ensemble switches and guest personnel appearing on this wildly wonderful, genre-defying effort, which was made possible by the hiatus of Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, of which Jeff Coffin has been a member of since 1997.
Coffin switches to flute on the folksy title track, which features a kids' choir, then steps aside as slide guitarist Pat Bergeson simmers with gospel intensity on the Coffin composition "Old Jack Craw" (which features no woodwind).
Coffin's flute on the lyrical "As Light Through Leaves" is probably his most melodic playing on the whole disc, and his bluesy sax on "Wobble" makes for a fun-loving closer.

 Jeff Coffin Mu'tet - Go-Round (Album Review)
As a member of The Flecktones, Jeff Coffin provides a jazzy undercurrent to the band's hybridization of new age and bluegrass.
On the Arabic-influenced Tuesday's Waterloo, Coffin's dual-sax lead ignites a whirling dervish of percussion and bass that straddles the line between Coltrane's worldly Africa/Brass and Davis' energetic mid-'50s Workin'/Cookin'/Relaxin'/Steamin' period, while Tall and Lanky delves into a New Orleans' style funk-rock groove.
Where many sidemen often struggle to make it on their own, Coffin clearly has the talent to succeed quite brilliantly.

 Jeff Coffin Mu’tet | Bloom
Saxophonist Jeff Coffin is among the relative few who actually delivers on a level most people can relate to.
The album’s biggest shortcoming is that his playing is a considerable step below the standards of earlier releases, due to the frequently thick ensembles; his writing and arranging of the twelve originals comprise his biggest contribution here.
The freeform “Hatim” is a performance and compositional highlight, with Fleck, Coffin, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, and drummer Jeff Sipe showcasing a background blending, to borrow from Coffin’s description, elements of Wayne Shorter and Indonesian Balinese.

 Art Howard -- Jeff Coffin "Go Round" Review
A 40-ish guy in denim with a vintage guitar is going to sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan; a guy in a fl turtleneck with an Ovation acoustic guitar is going to sound like Michael Hedges.
So Jeff Coffin's new CD, Mu'tet, sat on my desk for a week because I was sure I could already hear it: Some danceable Maceo Parker-type funk that would sell to Coffin's young jamband following.
I think if someone went to the store for the Blink 182 CD and saw this sitting next to it, they might just spend the $15 on Coffin instead of Blink just to see what was bound in those wild colors.
