Search - Victor Wooten :: What Did He Say

The bassist from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones branches out... and makes bassist renditions of "standards" like, "What You Won't Do For Love," which, while inspired, sounds like elevator music. However, after the novelty of that has worn off, you'll be pleasantly surprised by Wooten's virtuosity in uh, noodling. There are also sung tracks, with Wooten's bass featured prominently in each wordless hook. When it works, it works well. When it doesn't work, it's muzak. But the times it works, it's great, and you should check it out for yourself if you're a Bela fan.

Buy this cd if you got SOUL!

"This cd was my first Victor Wooten cd and I have to say: this stuff is heavy. Not only his bass-chops are pretty cool; the music on this disc is even better. 'Til now I have not heard something THIS funky. You do? Please tell me right away!"

Terriffic follow up album

"This is a quality follow up CD to those of you who have not bought "A Show Of Hands". Victor is again at the top of his form, and shows a versatility rarely seen in bands across the country. He has continualy been voted "Best Bass Player of The Year" by his collegues, and it is a joy to hear him establishing his own following, in addition to us regular Flecktone fans. Get the CD, and if you can, hear him live. And to the music fan from Philly, you're intelligent enough to use the word "aplomb", but you're stupid enough not to know that Howard Levy stopped playing with the group in 1993. Nice try, poser. Flecktone fans, you've got to own this album!"
