Bela Fleck Thinking Quotations

I think the musical evolution I've gone through has come from all the work with the material.

I think I'm getting better at being verbal. I used to have a lot of problems with it. I had my own little demons that I was fighting, and I used the banjo as an escape.

When I play my own music, or when I play new music, there's much more stress and intensity of thinking about how I'm going to make it work!

I think the Flecktones are a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz.

I think it is very ironic that most people think that the banjo is a southern white instrument. It came from Africa and even for the first years that white people played banjo they would put on blackface.
