Béla Fleck & the Flecktones at the Paramount Theater. These guys are never disappointing, and seemed to have some extra energy last night since they were hopping a plane at 6:00 this morning to head to the Grammys (where they’re nominated for Best Pop Instrumental and Best Contemporary Jazz Album). My only gripe is that they leaned a little too heavily on songs from their so-so newest album, The Hidden Land, but they made up for it with some inspired solo pieces and a couple sick covers (The Beatles’ “Come Together” and the famous surf-rock tune “Wipeout”). All in all, a typically great show from an outstanding live band.
