Forgive my fervor but I just heard of Bela Fleck within the last month or so. I can listen to any type of music (except rap) as long as it shows talent and contains emotion.
I look for music that moves me through it's lyrics (if lyrics apply) as well as musical content. Bela's agility, speed and fretboard precision is amazing and his music is able to move the soul as well as the feet.

I agree with you that Vic Wooten is absolutely a "rising legend" ,as you say. Most of what I saw him do with his bass was untouched by anyone else. Actually, all the musicians were totally world class. I cannot choose a favorite.

Another thing I like about Bela Fleck is how he is able to step back and let another player take a lead and show his stuff. This is almost unheard of today.
Bela doesn't need to command the stage or dominate the melody. He simply fills a space within that melody and is happy doing it. He plays for the sheer joy of playing.
