Béla Fleck and The Flecktones

[AndyG]

I've had a lot of music in my life but only just heard Béla Fleck and The Flecktones. Wow, I was really missing out!! Most of my background is classical violin and French horn, and this is right on! Any other fans here?

Great musicians.
Their music makes me nervous. Too many notes. I can't relax to it.

I keep thinking David Lee Roth is gonna jump out from nowhere and start singing when I hear those guys.

Good musicianship though, no doubt.

The Flecktones are excellent. Saw them a couple times in the mountains of NC at a little outdoor amphitheater on some guy's farm-really just a field with a slope and electricity. They were great!
Blinding banjo jazz riffs! and the bassist, if that's what that instrument is, Wow!
Haven't heard about them in a while-gotta go check I-tunes!

That's Victor Wooten on the bass guitar--yeah he's really good!

big fan of the flecktones, mainly because i'm a bassist, and victor just blows me away. i have seen them several times and have never been dissapointed.

Me too, had the light classics station on a couple of years back. Just reading and all of a sudden this amazing rendition of some Chopin started. Got my attention, love Bella!!!!!!
