Flecktones on Conan O’Brien

Here’s the aforementioned clip of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones on Late Night with Conan O’Brien from just before Christmas. Roy, as he usually does with the Flecktones, is playing a combo of his SynthAxe Drumitar and real kit. Every once in a while, Roy plays a gig in town on a kit, like when he performs with a new side group he’s in, Eclectica, with electric violinist Tracy Silverman and Kyle Whalum (son of jazz great saxophonist Kirk Whalum) on bass. The Eclectica CD release party was a fun show. You can watch a video of them performing one song here. Anyway, here’s the Conan video.
