This is probably not news to most people but I have just discovered Béla Fleck & The Original Flecktones - "Sinister Minister" - Mountain Jam VII - 6/3/11 with Howard Levy. What a band!

Howard was the co-founder of the original Flecktones along with Bela. This performance at the end of their show reveals the consummate musicianship of each member, even though I dare say they were tired by then. My beef with this video has nothing to do with the band, but with the camera people. Even during Howard's soloing, the cameras are often on other members of the band, as if to say ''that little toy instrument isn't worth focusing on'', which to me says a whole lot about the ignorance of even music connected professionals regarding the harmonica, and certainly regarding Howard.
Thanks for the post.
