"Live at the Quick" by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

Here's a live album by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones that was released in 2002 under Columbia records. For those of you who don't know, the group consists of innovative musicians that try to push beyond the limitations of their instruments. Bela Fleck is the banjo player in the group who can be seen switching instruments throughout a performance in an attempt to make every song sound fresh. I chose to share this album with you all because it's a good representation of the band in a live setting and these musicians know how to play. I think it's important that a band can play a solid live show because it seems that nowadays more and more bands aren't giving fans the type of energy and solid playing that they expect at a show. I urge everyone to go see Bela live if you ever have a chance!

  1. Great band Alex! Not familiar with this album but I really enjoy this group. I had the privilege to see Victor Wooten perform at Northwestern University!
