Bela Fleck & The Flecktones: Bela Fleck (6-string, electric & electric synth banjos, banjo); Victor Lemonte Wooten (vocals, banjo, cello, tenor & fretless basses, bass); Future Man (percussion, zendrum, synth-axe drumitar). Additional personnel: Sam Bush (vocals, mandolin, fiddle); Bruce Hornsby (vocals, piano); John Cowan (vocals); Paul McCandless (sopranino & soprano saxophones, English horn, penny whistle, bass clarinet); Branford Marsalis (soprano saxophone); Howard Levy (harmonica, keyboards); Jerry Douglas (dobro); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Chick Corea (piano, zendrum); Edgar Meyer (acoustic bass). Recorded live between 1992 and 1996. Includes liner notes by Bela Fleck, Victor Lemonte Wooten and Future Man. "The Sinister Minister" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Live Art is a double-disc, 20-track anthology of live performances by Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, spanning four years in the mid-'90s. The song selections cover the group's entire career, ranging from new arrangements of several of classics to covers and seven previously unrecorded originals. There are a couple of vocals on the record, but the core of the album is Fleck & the Flecktones' dynamite instrumental improvisations, where they can demonstrate the true range of their eclecticism and talent. Of special note are the songs that feature jams with Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Bruce Hornsby, who help spur the Flecktones to new heights. ~ Thom Owens
Award Winner
JazzTimes (3/97, p.79) - "A live performance by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones is a celebration of the joy derived from making complex music that's fun at heart..." Musician (2/97, pp.125-126) - "...The collective virtuosity is stunning--like Jaco Pastorius two decades before, Wooten has redefined the bass....the Flecktones manage the difficult task of making intensely complex music accessible and fun....these guys love playing together, and it shows..." NME (Magazine) (7/19/97, p.40) - "...it's really rather spendid, in a kind of self-indulgent and completely mad way....Marvellous."

$9.09 Bela Fleck & The Flecktones: Bela Fleck (banjo); Howard Levy (harmonica); Victor Wooten (bass); Roy Wooten (percussion). After disbanding New Grass Revival, Bela Fleck began re-creating the role of the banjo in the same way Charlie Parker redefined the role of the saxophone. But Fleck may be the least-innovative member of this quartet: Howard Levy gets chromatics from his blues harp, Victor Wooten picks banjo rolls on his bass, and Roy "Future Man" Wooten plays a Frankenstein-monster drum-machine/guitar synthesizer. ...

Producers: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Randy Scruggs. With all due respect to the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, it took the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with this album to come up with a merger of rock and country music that worked for both sides and everyone involved. The opening number, "The Grand Ole Opry Song," set the tone for the album, showing that this band -- for all of their origins in rock and popular music -- was willing to meet country music on its terms, rather than as a vehicle for embellishment as rock music. The result, without a false or strained note anywhere among its 37 songs, was an all-star country project that worked (and transcended its country and rock origins), with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band serving as catalyst and intersecting point for all of the talent involved, all of who gave superbly of themselves. Not only did this album result in new exposure to a new and wider audience for the likes of Mother ...
