This week’s song comes from a band composed of four incredibly talented musicians, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. It’s an instrumental piece called Sojourn of Arjuna, which first appeared on Victor Wooten’s solo album What Did He Say?, then on the band’s fifth studio album Left of Cool, released in 1998.

This melody is well-known by Dave Matthews Band fans. Béla Fleck used to interpolate the melody into DMB’s song #41 while on stage with DMB. These days, as Jeff Coffin plays saxophone in DMB, he usually does it. #41 is a song that could basically go on forever, the longest performance of the song is over half an hour. Traditionally, LeRoi Moore used to take a sax solo right after Dave’s vocals. Now Jeff Coffin does it, sometimes interpolating this melody right away. I’ve heard it a million times on #41, and I still like to hear it.

Here’s the whole song by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.
