Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo

I admit I am a little slow - this was released in 1991, so many of you are already familiar with this band/recording and possibly have worn this album out, but while I have heard the name of this band before, I have never heard them before. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones is the complete band name, just to not offend the supporting bandmates :) 

Thanks to Roon radio this track came on, and I immediately perked up and took notice to the wonderful deep rich bass coming from a fretless bass! 

So if you are not aware of this recording, and love deep bass, this is a track you'll love- the whole instrumental album is pretty good. I don't see a high res option in Qobuz but the redbook sounds just fine :) I guess I would call this music jazz?

That is weird all right- does nothing for me, I prefer acoustic drums all the way- I did a little poking around and found out Bela has won 15 grammys with 33 nominations! that must be how I know the name

I see "The Sinister Minister" track won the grammy for best instrumental - same Victor Wooten bass going on - almost like a solo- I hope I remember to listen to this track once a week going forward -so much music to explore!
