Jeff Coffin is an internationally recognized saxophonist, bandleader, composer and educator and has been traveling the globe since the late 20th Century. He is a 3x Grammy Award winner from Bela Fleck & the Flecktones and played with them from 1997-2010. In July 2008, Jeff began touring with Dave Matthews Band, and officially joined the group in 2009 following the tragic passing of founding member LeRoi Moore.

Jazz I has toured internationally with great acclaim and recently performed at the Monterey Jazz after placing first in national competition for the honor. CWU Jazz I is noted for its forward-looking modern jazz sound.
