The artists' biggest claim to fame is their openness to new influences and willingness to incorporate a variety of instruments and sounds into their music. These styles include country twang, gospel, spoken word, and even traditional African implements. The original core lineup, aside from Béla’s banjo, consisted of Victor Wooten on bass, his brother Roy “Future Man” Wooten on percussion, and Howard Levy on harmonica and keyboard. From the album Left of Cool onward, Levy was replaced by sax player Jeff Coffin.
