Béla Fleck & The Flecktones
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 | 7:30 PM
Muriel Kauffman Theatre
Groundbreaking banjoist/composer/bandleader Béla Fleck has reconvened the original ‘Béla Fleck & The Flecktones’, the extraordinary initial line-up of his incredible combo. They will perform on Tuesday, June 14th in Muriel Kauffman Theatre. Tickets range from $29 to $59.
Rocket Science marks the first recording by the first fab four Flecktones in almost two decades, with pianist/harmonica player Howard Levy back in the fold alongside Fleck, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist/drumitarist Roy “Futureman” Wooten. Far from being a wistful trip back in time, the album sees the GRAMMY Award-winning quartet creating some of the most forward thinking music of their long, storied career.
While all manners of genres come into play – from classical and jazz to bluegrass and African music to electric blues and Eastern European folk dances – the result is an impossible to pigeonhole sound all their own, a meeting of musical minds that remains, as ever, utterly indescribable. Simply put, it is The Flecktones, the music made only when these four individuals come together.
