Bela’s 12 Time Signatures of Christmas

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones have scored a genuine hit with Jingle All the Way, a brilliant holiday album that finds the uber-talented quartet interpreting classic Christmas tunes such as Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas with typical Flecktone flair.

The Flecktones’ impressive version of the 12 Days of Christmas takes the cake for best track on the disc. Bela, Jeff Coffin and the Wooten Brothers effortlessly switch key and meter for every round, even throwing in a little improv in between verses.

You need to see these guys play the 12 Days of Christmas to believe it…
