Shades (1986) is the fourth studio album from the jazz group Yellowjackets. The album's first track, "And You Know That", won the "Best R&B Instrumental" Grammy Award.[2] The album debuted on the Billboard Top Jazz Album chart on 5 July 1986 and would spend 32 weeks on the chart, eventually peaking at #4. It was the last to feature drummer Ricky Lawson.
The album features the original recording of the Yellowjackets' live staple "Revelation" (featuring vocal group Perri) as well as the Donald Fagen-penned title track. "Revelation" is one of the group's most popular tunes, often covered by other artists, including Robben Ford on his Talk to Your Daughter (1988).
