Béla Fleck and The Flecktones 2011-06-28 Saskatchewan Jazz Festival Bessborough Gardens Stage Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Béla Fleck and The Flecktones
June 28, 2011
Saskatchewan Jazz Festival
Bessborough Gardens Stage
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Runtime: 63:23

Broadcast: 'Canada Live' on CBC Radio 2

If you’re already a fan you don’t need an introduction. Béla is a master of musical eclecticism. He plays everything from blue grass to be bop, traditional African music to rock. He even won a Grammy for Best Classical Crossover album in 2001. Oh - and if you’re wondering about Béla’s name, the answer is yes: he was named after the famous Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.

Béla joined forces with his Flecktones in 1988. There’s even a Canadian connection to their beginning since he met pianist and harmonica player Howard Levy at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. After hearing Victor Lemonte Wooten play some bass licks over the phone Béla recruited him. Victor’s brother Roy Wooten, otherwise known as “Futureman”, rounded out the quartet on percussion.

This summer these four masterful musicians reconvened for a reunion tour. CBC Radio Two's 'Canada Live' team caught up with the band at Bessborough Garde ns in Saskatoon where they were headline performers at the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival.
