Amazon.com This 10-song distillation of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones' three-CD set Little Worlds gives a sense of the ambitiousness, audacity, and, at times, absurdity of the full package. The musicianship of Fleck and his compatriots bassist Victor Wooten, saxophonist/flautist Jeff Coffin, and electro-percussionist Future Man is as accomplished as ever. Even when they are engaging in a slice of silliness like their version of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," which they re-imagine as a sort of a rap rhapsody, the intelligence and sheer inventiveness of the performers keeps the music from descending to a trivial level. Guest artists here come from a wide range of traditions, including Branford Marsalis, Nickel Creek, the Chieftains, Fleck's former New Grass Revival band mate Sam Bush, and the Tuvan throat singer Congar Ol Ondar. One of the most intriguing visitors is Pamelia Kurstin, who plays Theremin on a couple of cuts. The music combines experimental sonic textures, complex harmonies, intricate rhythms, and charming melodies with impressive instrumental chops. Béla Fleck and the Flecktones are serious musicians, but their music, which is infused with joy, is never somber. --Michael Simmons Product description This 10-song distillation of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones' three-CD set Little Worlds gives a sense of the ambitiousness, audacity, and, at times, absurdity of the full package.
