Free Music Review: Bela Fleck, You should listen to his music
Hit: 4 Stars
I was introduced to Bela Fleck by a friend about 10 years ago. At first I was mainly obscessed with his bass player, Mr. Victor Lemont Wooten (as a side not if your a bass player of any skill level you should listen to Mr. Wooten play). Even after listening to Bela Fleck's music for over a decade it has only been recently that I started to "GET IT." Bela Fleck is truly a musical genius. He mixes bluegrass, classical, jazz, and finds a way to make it all fit with the lead instrument being a banjo... If you have never heard Bela Fleck before this CD is not a bad place to start.
This CD is loaded with great music, beautiful melodies, and rhythm that will make your head spin. There are guys who play in 7 and it sounds like their trying to play in 7, and there are guys who play in 7 and it's effortless (Bela makes it sound effortless). If you love Jazz, classical, bluegrass, or just music in general you should buy this CD. I don't like it as much as some of Bela's other material, but that's just my personal bias. This is a CD that has and will continue to get frequent trips into my CD player. Beautiful melodies, and awesome music. If you haven't heard Bela Fleck before (most of reading this have) you should also check out his music with "The Fleck Tones." Also his CD with Chick Corea titled "Enchanted" which is another must own in my humble opinion.
Tales From the Acoustic Planet Poster
Bela Fleck has completely transcended any and all expectations we have for the banjo. Having spent the better part of five previous years exploring a variety of formal and improvised designs with his virtuoso ensemble, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, this banjo innovator chose to celebrate a variety of musical friends and influences on this homey, elegant, immaculately recorded aural novella--one that clearly links him to such progressive jazz/fusion forebears as Return to Forever and Oregon (not to mention Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys). While a manic hoe-down like "Cheeseballs in Cowtown" illustrates his command of post-modern bluegrass, his freeform duet "Bicyclops" (with mentor Chick Corea) is indicative of this great musician's astonishing technical and emotional range. Elsewhere tunes such as "Up and Running," "The Great Circle Route," and "System Seven" seem to reconcile his complex rhythmic inclinations with stately folkish themes, mixing traditional bluegrass instrumentation with the likes of electric bass, drums, piano, and oboe. And on extended forms such as "Circus of Regrets" and "Jayme Lynn," Fleck showcases his ever-expanding breadth and range as a modern composer. --Chip SternJazz Music CDs
