Double bill of critically acclaimed former Béla Fleck & The Flecktones bassist & Toronto’s finest Jazz trio.
Victor Wooten is regarded as one of the most influential bassists since Jaco Pastorius, he is known for his solo recordings and tours, and as a member of the GRAMMY-winning supergroup, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. He is a brilliant technician and innovator on the bass guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. But those gifts only begin to tell the tale of this Tennessee titan.
Wooten joins the Heads Up label in the spring of 2008 with the April 1 release of Palmystery, a twelve-track set that embraces a range of styles – jazz, funk, pop, soul, gospel, world music and more – and boasts a diverse guest list that includes Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Keb’ Mo’ and several others. The result is an amalgam of voices, styles and grooves, but one that never fails to hold together at its rock-solid core.
