Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Original Lineup Coming to San Diego


Bela Fleck & The Flecktones are playing four-yes,  four!!- shows this Tuesday and Wednesday at Anthology.  They are performing with the original lineup which includes Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten, Roy "Future Man" Wooten and Howard Levy.  Individually they are some of the best musicians for their respective instruments.  Bela Fleck is one of the best banjo players ever (if you google best banjo player his wiki page is the first result), Victor Wooten in my mind and many others is the best bass player in the world, and Future Man created his own instrument which incorporates both guitar and drums. For the past decade Jeff Coffin has been the fourth member on saxophone, however this is the original line up with Howard Levy mixing things up by playing piano and harmonica.  Together they push each other to create an unbelievable fusion of bluegrass and jazz.  Tickets are going fast and some of the seating is sold out so make sure to get your tickets asap.

Joshua White at Dizzy's, 8/26/10

I shoot a lot of jazz shows too, and there was a great one at Dizzy's a couple weeks ago. The Joshua White Quartet, fronted by the 25-year old piano phenom.

This group features Jason Robinson on saxophones and alto flute, Duncan Moore on drums, and Rob Thorsen on bass.

These guys play around town often, so if you see their names pop up in Rosey's listings, try something new and check out some jazz. Gilbert's jam session on Wednesdays at El Camino is a great time to get some dinner and drinks before walking one block over to the Casbah.

Check out my original post for more photos. If you'd like to see more jazz photos posted here or never want to see them again, leave me a comment either way.
