As an aside, at the Wooten show in Toronto last night Victor mentioned that the Flecktones will have a new CD and tour to support it in early 2006. |

Anyway I saw them at the first performance of this tour in Burlington, VT. It was great. I didn't care for Bela's playing or his compositions, but Stanley and Jean-Luc Ponti played absolutely fabulously, I was really blown away.
Dave you picked the wrong show to miss. |

I was really blown away by Jean-Luc, Stanley was great, as usual, and Bela was interesting. Banjo is tough because you're playing with two instruments that can be played so expressively and dynamically and sometimes the banjo comes off as somewhat repetetive and mechanical. Don't get me wrong, I really like Bela and think he's a fabulous musician but he just didn't have the "mileage" under his belt like Stanley and Jean-Luc. |
