BASS DESIRES
VICTOR WOOTEN TRIO Bass virtuoso Wooten first wowed music heads in 1990 as a member of Béla Fleck & the Flecktones. For the last 25-plus years, Wooten has been instrumental (pun!) in pushing the electric bass to new tonal heights. Along the way, he’s released a series a tasteful solo albums, collaborated with the likes of fellow bass gurus Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller, and snagged five Grammy Awards. At his performance here this week, Wooten is joined by fellow jazz badasses, drummer Dennis Chambers and saxophonist Bob Franceschini. 8 p.m. Friday, May 12, Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, $43-$63, pvconcerthall.com.
