Fronted by one of the most accomplished banjo players of his time, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are captured live in concert on Live at the Quick. The versatile band performs just over a dozen songs including such radically different compositions as "Amazing Grace," "Big Country," "Hoedown," and the prelude from a Bach violin concerto.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Future Man (Roy Wooten) literally invented the drumitar, a synth-drum hybrid he plays like a guitar, because apparently regular drums weren't chaotic enough.
This 2002 performance captures the quartet's peak chemistry before Jeff Coffin's departure — the four-way musical telepathy here is documented lightning in a bottle.
