Bela Fleck and The Flecktones at the North Shore Center For The Performing Arts

Friday Night it was Bela Fleck and The Flecktones at the North Shore Center For The Performing Arts in Skokie.

Bela plays acoustic and electric Banjos and leads the Flecktones, who use bluegrass,a fusion of Jazz, pop, classic, country, and other forms of music. Bela has received several Grammy awards and recently won a 2012 Grammy, along with Howard Levy, for Best Instrumental Composition for "Life In Eleven."

Howard Levy, harmonicist, pianist, composer, and producer won the 2012 Grammy award for Best Instrumental Composition along with Bela for "Life In Eleven." Howard was happy to be playing at this Center in Skokie because he lives in Evanston.

Victor Wooten has won the "Bass Player Of The Year" award from Bass Players magazine, three times in a row and Vic is the first bassist to win this award more then once.

Roy "Futureman" Wooten (Victor's brother) plays percussion with his "Drumitar", a modified SynthAxe rigged to play percussion music instead of a synthesizer.
A fiddle player, who's name I missed, join "The Flecktones " for a couple of numbers as you will see in the video's.
Ok, here are my you tube video's, just click on each.

Here's Bela and the Flecktones opener.
