HEADS UP INTERNATIONAL RECORDING
ARTISTS YELLOWJACKETS RECEIVE GRAMMY NOMINATION Time Squared Nominated in the Category of Best Contemporary Jazz Album Cleveland-based Heads Up International, in its fourteenth year as one of the world’s premier crossover jazz labels, and contemporary jazz legends Yellowjackets have been nominated for a Grammy Awards in the Category of Best Contemporary Jazz Album by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, for Time Squared, released on May 27, 2003. Winners will be announced at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony, to be held on Sunday, February 8, 2004, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will again be broadcast in High Definition TV and 5.1 Surround Sound on CBS from 8-11:30 p.m. on the East and West Coasts. For over twenty years, Yellowjackets have been recording, performing and building a worldwide fan base with a sound that draws from the rich traditions of jazz, R&B, world and pop. With sixteen albums, thirteen Grammy nominations and two Grammy awards to date, the group continues to evolve. “Yellowjackets represent the very best of the contemporary jazz scene,” says Dave Love, President of Heads Up International. “We’re very pleased to work with Russell, Jimmy, Bob and Marcus. They are all wonderfully gifted musicians, and as a group have a unique sound that fans love.” Yellowjackets are equally excited about their latest nomination. “We’re honored to be included for consideration,” says Grammy Award Winning big band arranger/saxophonist Bob Mintzer. “Our relationship with Heads Up has been a pivotal point in the band’s career. We love working with Heads Up and feel that it’s one of the best record companies out there.” Bassist Jimmy Haslip and keyboardist Russell Ferrante founded the band in 1979 and Mintzer joined the group a few years later. The current lineup also features drummer Marcus Baylor. Yellowjackets’s Time Squared was released on May 27, 2003. The album was released as an enhanced CD (HUCD 3075) and as an SACD in 5.1 Surround Sound (HUSA 9075). Yellowjackets are available for interviews.
