Béla Fleck And The Flecktones Is A Primarily Instrumental Group From The United States That Draws Equally On Bluegrass Fusion And Jazz Sometimes Dubbed "blue-Bop." The Band Formed In 1988 Initially To Perform Once On The PBS Public Broadcasting Service Series Lonesome Pine Specials. The Flecktones Have Toured Extensively Since Then Often Playing Over 200 Concerts Per Year. Frontman Béla Fleck Plays Acoustic And Electric Banjos Mixing A Bluegrass And Folk Sound Into A Modern Improvisational Style. Fleck Has Received Grammy Nominations For Jazz Bluegrass Pop Spoken Word And Country. Brothers Victor Wooten And Roy "Future Man" Wooten Form The Rhythm Section. Victor Wooten Is Widely Lauded In Jazz Circles For His Sometimes Hyperkinetic Slap And Pop Technique On Bass Guitar. Future Man Plays Percussion Using The One And Only 'Synthaxe Drumitar' A MIDI Controller Shaped Like A Guitar.
