You usually think of Flea bringing high energy with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but lately he’s been moving in a whole different direction. On a recent stop by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Flea slowed things down with a jazz-inspired take on Thinkin Bout You, putting his trumpet front and center on a rework of a Frank Ocean favorite. The vibe was laid-back, spacious, and really about the feeling more than anything else. That same energy carries over to his new album Honora. It’s a personal project that leans into jazz, with Flea focusing on trumpet and letting the music breathe a bit more. It’s not what longtime fans might expect, but it shows a different side of him—one that’s been there all along.
