[JAZZ] Victor Wooten has become the Jimi Hendrix of the bass. He’s the name that comes to mind when one thinks about bass soloing in the same way that Hendrix and guitar solos are synonymous. The multiple-Grammy award winning 52-year-old musician has never really settled into one band—the closest he’s come is as the bassist of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, with whom he’s recorded 14 albums— but when folks think of Wooten they usually discuss his solo work or collaborations. One famous collaboration was simply a trio of bassists, Wooten, Stanley Clarke, and Marcus Miller. Their album was appropriately titled Thunder. The jazz-bassist’s latest touring line up includes drummer Dennis Chambers and saxophonist Bob Franceschini. The Victor Wooten Trio comes to the Tralf Music Hall on Sunday, March 5.
