Béla Fleck & The Flecktones – Left Of Cool (CD, HDCD, Warner Bros. 9 46896-2, Cinram Olyphant Repress)

Why This CD Matters
Left Of Cool expands the Flecktones’ jazz-funk approach through Béla Fleck’s banjo, Victor Wooten’s bass work, Future Man’s percussion, and Jeff Coffin’s woodwinds. The 15-track program includes “Big Country,” “Almost 12,” “Trane To Conamarra,” and “The Big Blink.” Fleck produced the album, while Roger Nichols and Richard Battaglia joined him in the engineering and mixing work.
