Vic Wooten is one of favorite musicians ever. I'll be sure to check this CD out.
A quick thought: Does anyone know if he's ever done anything with tuba?

Vic Wooten and Futureman (one of Vic Wooten's brothers) have both had involvement with Joe Murphy to my knowledge.
Joe Murphy is also playing on one of Jeff Coffin's CDs. Vic Wooten, Futureman, and Jeff Coffin are all a part of the Flecktones.
I would say somewhere along the line Vic Wooten has played with Joe Murphy.
Joe Murphy is one of the tuba players in the MJT Project.

The funny thing is that Victor Wooten doesn't really consider himself a jazz musician. I think he likes to fit himself more in the funk category, although most other people would agree he fits on the fringes of jazz.Joshua Cutchin wrote:Hey y'all,
Wanted to tell everyone that I just finished listening to one of the finest live CDs I've ever heard: Victor Wooten's "Live in America". For those of you don't know Vic's work, he's one of the worlds premier electric bassists (even though his acoustic playing is none too shabby, either). The sheer level of synchronicity between the members of his group... the way that they know what each one is going to do... this is a must for anyone interested in jazz (his on-the-spot improvisation is second to none) or just how to put on a good show. It's two CDs worth of pure entertainment, highlighting the highest in good ensemble and spontaneous musical form.

The reason I say this is because he was asked to be a guest artist at a jazz fest during my undergrad and he declined saying he didn't really play jazz.
Victor's playing is unbelievable. He is an innovator and amazing technician on the electric bass. If you have never heard classical thump, check it out.
***edit... I just noticed too.... holy back from the dead batman.***

Good place to also point out that Vic's new CD, Palmystery, is now out. It's freaking amazing.
There's a video of one of the tunes on YouTube. While this song seems to bring mixed feelings about it (probably because God is the subject), I think it's one of the better ones on the album.

There's another tune on it called "The Lesson," and it's from a tune that's included in Vic's new book (The Music Lesson). It's not completely easy to find, though.
