Béla Fleck & the Flecktones: Jingle All the Way
Banjoist Béla Fleck, harmonica and keyboardist Howard Levy, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist/drumitarist Roy "Future Man" Wooten have been creating some of the most forward-thinking music throughout their remarkable careers. Drawing from a vast array of genres - from classical and jazz to bluegrass, African music, electric blues, and Eastern European folk - their sound is impossible to define. It's a unique musical language forged by the union of four brilliant minds, each contributing something distinct to the whole. Simply put: it is The Flecktones: music that only emerges when these four musicians come together. This winter Béla Fleck & The Flecktones return to bring you, Jingle All the Way , a reunion tour featuring the group's greatest hits along with reinvented, jazz-infused holiday classics from their GRAMMY-winning album by the same name. Performing this music together for the first time in over 15 years, the band reunites for a unique and unforgettable evening as founding members Béla Fleck, Victor Wooten, and Roy "Future Man" Wooten, take the stage alongside former Flecktones bandmate and saxophonist Jeff Coffin, mandolinist Sierra Hull, and Tuvan throat singing ensemble, Alash - both of whom appeared on the album.
