...Flecktones, for whom he plays bass. (Bela Fleck themselves are all too often merely the opener for bands such as the Dave Matthews Band.) This solo outing reaffirmed his position as the most prolific and talented bassist since Jacko Pastore. The ambience of The House of Blues, with its bas-reliefs of Blues and Jazz greats, enhanced the funky bass-lines and fostered the dialogue between Wooten, the band and his audience. Coming on close to 40 minutes late with his band of a DJ, percussionist, keyboard player and guitar player, Wooten's arrival help goad the crowd (mostly students...

The finished artwork, by California sculptor Robert Graham, would be three times that size and grace the entrance to the memorial.
