Imaginative, original, daring, virtuosic, groundbreaking—just
a few of the many adjectives used to describe the sound of the multi-Grammy
winning Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Beginning in 1989 as a project
for banjo phenom Bela Fleck, the Flecktones have established themselves
as a musical tour de force through a relentless touring schedule
and a dedication to musicianship.
The Flecktones are Fleck, Victor Wooten, Futureman and Jeff Coffin.
Each member can subscribe to the title of “maestro”
of his instrument. Fleck’s banjo prowess has brought him Grammys
in three music genres: classical, country and jazz. Bassist Victor
Wooten has been awarded the title Bassist of the Year three times,
more than any other person. Percussionist Futureman has taken drums
into a new dimension with his drum-machine creations, such as the
SynthAxe Drumitar and ZenDrum.
