Bela Fleck is often considered the premiere banjo player in the world. In 1989 he formed the Flecktones. Jeff Coffin, well-traveled saxophonist and composer, rejects all labels and categories other than "music" and "musician." Victor Wooten redefines the word musician. Regaled as the most influential bassist since Jaco Pastorius, Victor is an innovator on the bass guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. At the heart of that music is RoyEl's ground breaking percussion technique performed on his first invention he calls the Drumitar. This eclectic mix made their self-titled debut recording in 1990 by playing a "blu-bop" mix of jazz and bluegrass and soon became a commercially successful, critically-acclaimed and award-winning band.
