Jason Yates - Jason Yates

When Macy Grey started the band that would eventually lead to her record deal and multi-platinum success, Jason Yates was there. He performed with Natalie Merchant on her first solo tour for the Tigerlily album. Yates has also recorded with G. Love & Special Sauce, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Citizen Cope, the Gary Louris Mark Olsen band, Mazzy Star, Taj Mahal, Toots & the Maytals, Acetone and many others. Yates was an integral part of the band with Ben Harper that recorded the Five Blind Boys Grammy Award winning album There Will Be A Light. The sound of the songs on Jason Yates could come from almost any period. The free flowing feel has elements of the best soul music from the '60s and early '70s, but it's obvious this music has been made in 2009. Yates' Hammond organ has a timeless sound, full of the swells and fills that make that instrument so distinctive.
