The Yellowjackets Wowed the Crowd at the Jazz Kitchen

The Yellowjackets play the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis on Jan. 8, 2016.

On Friday night, Jan. 8, 2016, Indianapolis jazz fans got a rare opportunity to watch an iconic group, the Yellowjackets, in the small club setting of the Jazz Kitchen. It was a treat. Celebrating their 35^th year, the Yellowjackets seem to get better with time. They played two shows at the Kitchen. The first showed featured a packed house of enthusiastic fans and group received several standing ovations. The set featured mainly newer works and was a bit short, at an hour and twenty minutes, but the group gave the fans their money’s worth. After they ended their set the crowd gave a sustained ovation and the band came out for an encore. We were all smiling as we left the club that night.
