Victor Wooten - Palmystery (2008)

The latest and by far the greatest Victor Wooten Album. This is a complete work compared to the others where the songs were mostly one bass and vic on vocals. In this one Victor recruited many of his friends and fellow musicians he's worked with in the past and the result is one album that you will be playing over and over. I couldn't imagine Wooten could write such a variety of music, rhythms and melodies.I mean the variety is huge! OK the overall sound is ''fusion'' BUT in this one you find african elements, soul, gospel, jazz, funk of course, and all that put together making a fantastic result! Every song has it's unique flavor and mood.Either with 4/4 or odd time signatures like 3/8 and 5/8 or even 7/8 it get's you grooving! Every musician gets to shine through a song, contributing fantastic solos, not only Wooten as one would expect. This is not jazz, nor Fusion. This has so many elements it is difficult to categorise it. so i say File Under : Great music!!

Highly truly recommended!!!!
Another interesting thing is the site Wooten and his guys put together dedicated to this particular album, explaining the ideas and philosophy behind every song and you get a chance to listen to parts of every song. Take a look, it is worth your time!
