The Fearless Flyers Live

A hypnotic element of trance connects African Afrobeat and Congotronics to American rhythm and blues and funk. Today, that same driving energy fuels groups like The Fearless Flyers. Taking the stage at Jazz à la Villette in matching overalls, guitarists Cory Wong and Mark Lettieri join bassist Joe Dart and drummer Nate Smith to kick off with "Patrol Acrobatique". Tight six-string riffs and hard-hitting drums set a fast pace. The group moves effortlessly between high-energy funk patterns, bluesy accents, and atmospheric textures. Tracks like "Running Man" evoke the non-stop chase of classic 70s cartoons. The concert caps off with a dynamic rhythm explosion full of pure, joyful drive.
