SUMMARY:BÉLA FLECK & THE FLECKTONES: JINGLE ALL THE WAY
DESCRIPTION:Groundbreaking banjoist\, composer and bandleader\, Béla Fleck has reconvened the original line-up of the Grammy-winning quartet Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. \n\n\n\nDrawing from a vast array of genres – from classical and jazz to bluegrass\, African music\, electric blues\, and Eastern European folk – their sound is impossible to define. It’s a unique musical language forged by the union of four brilliant minds\, each contributing something distinct to the whole. Simply put\, it is The Flecktones: music that only emerges when these four musicians come together. \n\n\n\nThis winter Béla Fleck & The Flecktones return to bring you Jingle All the Way\, a reunion tour featuring the group’s beloved tunes – along with reinvented\, jazz-infused holiday classics from their GRAMMY-winning album by the same name. Performing this music together for the first time in over 15+ years\, the band reunites for a uniquely unforgettable evening as founding members Fleck\, Wooten\, Wooten\, & Levy take the stage alongside former Flecktones bandmate and saxophonist\, Jeff Coffin\, and Tuvan throat singing ensemble\, Alash – all of whom appeared on the studio album. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets
