The bad-ass bass man funked up Twin Cities guitar hero Cory Wong’s concert this month at the Palace Theatre, and now he returns with the Wooten Brothers, the oldest of his many ensembles. The youngest of five brothers, he began performing with his older sibs in Hawaii, where their dad was stationed in the Air Force. Over the years, Wooten has been in many groups, notably Bela Fleck & the Flecktones and Bass Extremes, which last year dropped “S’Low Down,” a less-is-more project with cameos from Ron Carter, Marcus Miller, Bootsy Collins, Oteil Burbridge and others. The Wooten Brothers — including drummer Futureman of the Flecktones and keyboardist Joseph of Steve Miller Band — are on tour together for the first time since the 2010 death of saxophonist Rudy Wooten.
