BAM’s R&B Festival: Victor Wooten

Victor Wooten made his name as the propulsive bassist of newgrass combo Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, helping that singular group to earn four Grammy Awards. He was nominated for another for his wildly omnivorous, jazz- and funk-inflected double album Yin Yang and has since collaborated with such luminaries as Prince, Bootsy Collins, and Chick Corea.
