Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

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. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars "Bigfoot" is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard, Feb 24 2004
By

This review is from: Live Art (Audio CD)
First of all I believe Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are some of the best musicians playing today, and their live interaction on Live Art is almost telepathic.
For my peronal tastes though, their music tends to lean just a bit too much towards what I call "happy jazz" - in other words, despite being extremely well played, the music seems to just meander with little tension or bite. Not something you'd likely hear in an elevator - it does jam - but it does not rock.
The one real exception in my opinion is the 5th track "Bigfoot" which builds to an amazing level of intensity. It starts off with the most beautiful folk-celtic banjo line which returns throughout the song, but in between features excellent solos by everyone in the group, and believe me this track does rock. This is one of the best instrumental peices I have ever heard - I love it. Honestly, this is the only track I "listen" to on the recording, the rest I have play for background. I would have gladly bought "Libe Art" for Bigfoot alone.
Finally, the music is exceptionally well recorded despite the fact that it is live. I think that many people will find lots to enjoy on Live Art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little for everyone, Aug 11 2003
This review is from: Live Art (Audio CD)
Great stuff....There is a lot of energy and raw talent in this album. Some of his best live stuff. The aural dynamics are astounding. Get this even if you aren't a fan of the genre, you might be after this album. A definite buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars For sure the best album I own, July 2 2003
By 
Yaakov Weiner (Chicago, Il United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live Art (Audio CD)
A friend told me about bela fleck, so I picked up this album. They are all so unbelievable! The tunes are catchy as well as complex musically. Bela's solos are so smooth and connecting, and Victor's bass work can't be rivaled. Their feel for eachother is just a joy to listen to. I completely recommend it.
