WMPAC: Béla Fleck & The Flecktones

“A special night of structured, yet defiantly improvisational music that the packed audience relished.” —Live review, OKC Tower Theatre

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 of their generation. Blending classical, jazz, bluegrass, African music, electric blues, and Eastern European folk, their sound is a genre-spanning conversation between four brilliant musical minds.

First formed in 1988, the Flecktones quickly became known for their bold musical experimentation and intricate, improvisation-rich performances. Each member brings a distinct voice and vision, creating a sound that only emerges when they’re on stage together.
