Let me introduce the band to you if you're not familiar with them:
On bass is the best player on the planet: Victor Wooten. This man has fingers so fast I sometimes can't believe it's only one person playing the notes. He is a living legend in my opinion. Next is his brother, Futureman, aka Futch, on drums with his main instrument being the Synthaxe Drumitar. It's an instrument that is held like a guitar, but has all the sounds of percussion. It's a very unique instrument. Jeff Coffin is the master that mainly plays saxophone, sometimes two at a time, but he is known to pick up a flute, clarinet and the occasional whistle. When he plays two at a time it is quite a sight to behold ..... and hear.
Then there's the 'Big Flecktone', Bela Fleck. This man is a virtuoso on the banjo, making it do things never done before. Playing any music from hardcore bluegrass to lilting, soothing classical music. It is amazing what he does. Once in a while he picks up guitar, too, but the banjo is his specialty. I just love wataching and hearing this man play. Besides being such a great musician he is very easy on the eyes, in my opinion. An absolutely gorgeous specimen of the male human species.
These guys are a great band not only in performing, but also in being fan-friendly. It's not unusal for them to come back out after a show, while the roadies are
tearing down and packing up, to meet and greet their faithful following of fans.
