Coffin Lands CBS News Profile
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Member News at 7:13am on Tuesday, Sep 27th, 2011CBS News featured Dave Matthews Band saxophonist Jeff Coffin, in promotion of his new album, Jeff Coffin & the Mu'tet - LIVE!. If you are unfamiliar with the curriculum vitae of Coffin, it's a nice read.
Coffin has been teaching and running clinics, in addition to his work with DMB and other bands, since his 1990 graduation from the University of North Texas - one of the finest music schools in the country. Coffin is still humbled by the fact he is with DMB. "I was honored that they thought enough of me and of the way that I play to ask me to come in and help out and be there. I think they knew that my work ethic was such that I would come in prepared and do the very best I could."
There's a nice little video along with the jump to the story, so check that out too!

In a statement, Beauford said, "The stick not only felt perfectly straight and balanced, but I could also hear the difference immediately. I found I didn’t have to work so hard because the stick was working for me. It was then I realized that I had found the right tool for the job."
To highlight some of Carter's work, Vic Firth has provided some Carter-Cam videos on youtube. You can check out Carter spotlighted on Spaceman and Don't Drink The Water. Both videos are from West Palm Beach 2010 (nights 1 and 2 respectfully).
They also have a nifty contest to win a ton of Carter swag, and Dave Matthews Band MP3's. Just follow their rules and you too can be winning! Duh!
