> Concert Review

After taking off for 2005, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones were hungry to get back on the road in support of their new album, “The Hidden Land.” So it was no surprise that when it came time to play the house that Pabst Blue Ribbon built on April 26, the Flecktones proved to a willing audience that they are the best at what they do.

The genre-busting Flecktones are made up of banjo picker extraordinaire Bela Fleck; the Wooten Brothers, Victor on bass and Roy (better known as Futureman) on percussion; and Jeff Coffin on horns and the band has been making music for almost 16 years.

From the Northern territory of Montreal, the cinematically implosive and dynamic sounds of Bell Orchestre filled the Pabst Theater this past Sunday night.

Exuding a humble graciousness that one would expect to run hand in hand with their musical soundscape, they met with warm embrace from both the flavorful acoustics and audience.
