Bela Fleck and Victor Wooten formed Béla Fleck and the Flecktones in 1988, rounded out with harmonica player Howard Levy and Wooten's percussionist brother Roy "Future Man" Wooten, who plays synthesizer-based percussion. Levy left the group in 1992, making the band a trio until Saxophonist Jeff Coffin joined the group with the 1998 album Left of Cool.
With the Flecktones, Fleck has been nominated for and won several Grammy awards.

Digitally remastered by Keith Blake (1999, Warner Bros. In-house Studio).

Bela Fleck & The Flecktones: Bela Fleck (banjo); Howard Levy (harmonica); Future Man (guitar synthesizer); Victor Wooten (bass guitar).

Additional personnel: Dave Matthews (vocals); Sam Bush (fiddle); Paul McCandless (soprano saxophone); Jeff Coffin (alto saxophone).

Beyond the droll title there indeed lies some of the finest material these jazz-bluegrass cross-pollinators have ever recorded. This compilation documents the Bela Fleck & The Flecktones from their start as a trio in 1990 up to their expanded lineup on 1998's LEFT OF COOL, culling the cream of the albums in between. The avant-banjo virtuoso himself sheds some light on the inspiration for each song by including track-by-track annotations in the booklet.

GREATEST HITS begins on the same auspicious note as did the band's popularity, with the Grammy-winning instrumental "The Sinister Minister." It's a mysterious, quirky tune that creeps and crawls to Howard Levy's haunting harmonica playing. Two previously unissued tracks are included, with "Shocktime" surely being one of the more mind-blowing examples of the musicianship at hand. Originally intended to be on THREE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, this cut shines a welcome spotlight on Victor Wooten's ebullient, jaw-dropping bass pyrotechnics. "Road House Blues" funks from the Mississippi Delta to the Big Apple with a down-home combo of Bela Fleck on slide-banjo and Jeff Coffin's alto sax grooves.

@320 Kbit/s mp3

Master jazz pianist Chick Corea, who's influenced modern music for 40 years, and premiere banjoist Béla Fleck, who's taken bluegrass into wildly new realms, celebrate the music of their recent CD Enchantment. With a combined total of 20 Grammys, this eminent duo gets crankin' when bluegrass and jazz intertwine in rippling cascades. Fleck first heard his hero Chick Corea's band Return to Forever in the '70s and recast some of that genius into his own bands New Grass Revival and The Flecktones. Corea's brilliant experimentation over the years, from his early days with Miles Davis to his hard-hitting Elektric Band, his work with synthesizers, jazz fusion and forays into classical music, now includes this astonishing union of divergent musical traditions. The result? An exuberant testament not only to daring new styles, but to the boundless creativity of these two musical giants.

Something of a retrospective, Live Art is a treat for both newcomers and aficionados of the eye-popping artistry that is Bela Fleck, not to mention his more-than-capable partners in crime, bassist Victor Wooten and percussionist (well, it's not exactly a drum set he plays) Future Man. This two-disc set features live performances spanning a four-year period, with several guest appearances: Branford Marsalis sits in on "Flying Saucer Dudes," Chick Corea is featured on "The Message," and Bruce Hornsby appears on "More Luv." Several never-before-recorded songs appear here as well--the Scottish-inflected "Lochs of Dread," among others. Favorites like "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo," "UFO Tofu," and "Sinister Minister" are here as well, making this a well-rounded, enjoyable collection for any Fleck fan. Jazz? Folk? Bluegrass? Who knows, but whatever it is, it's well worth hearing.

The combination of Bhatt's sultry mohan vina and Fleck's precision banjo work creates unique textures. Add to that the rare quality of Chen's erh-hu and you have the makings of something special.

The album title came from an audience member who suggested "Flight of the Codeine Hippo" as a name for the title track. The band changed "codeine" to "cosmic" to avoid the drug association.
"The Star Spangled Banner" was arranged and recorded in response to the Gulf War.
"Jekyll and Hyde (and Ted and Alice)" refers to the novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as well as the film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.
