As the Austin City Limits music event approaches, austin360 is interviewing some of the artists that will be here. Bella Fleck (who is incredible in concert) offers his humorous responses:
Bela Fleck: Our music is a combination of many things. It has some parts that are jazz, but there are also elements from bluegrass and roots music, not to mention classical and world music influences. It is hard to describe!
How do you plan to cope with Austin summer heat, will it cramp your onstage style?
Nah, we are tough. I hope the drumitar doesn’t melt though!
What other bands are you looking forward to seeing at the festival?
Björk is a big one for me.
What’s the last CD you paid full price for?
Saxophonist Micheal Brecker’s latest and final CD. He died just afterwards from cancer.
