Free Music Notes for The Telluride Sessions
Free Music Review: Really is timeless
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was recommended to me by a coworker, who, having grown up in Tennessee, was always lamenting the Northern ignorance of all things bluegrass. I said I'd give this album a try, and was I ever surprised! Since I possess an utter lack of knowledge about Southern music, all I can say is that this is truly rockin' music. But this album has breadth, too. I occasionally find a piece of music that conjures vivid imagery in my mind; the last one being Paganini's "Caprice In C Minor" for solo violin. This album has one, too: "One Winter's Night" is a breathtakingly beautiful piece of music. Anyway, a great all-round album. If you like acoustic strings, get it!
The Telluride Sessions Poster
This acoustic supergroup joined forces in the summer of 1988, and the result was a true landmark in "new acoustic" music. As if bluegrass (and even "newgrass") was too constricting, the quintet--Sam Bush (mandolin), Jerry Douglas (dobro), Bela Fleck (banjo), Mark O'Connor (violin), and Edgar Meyer (bass)--incorporates classical-style themes and arrangements within the context of bluegrass instrumentation. Their unbelievable technique and musical ability was never in question; however, what makes the album special is the uncanny blend of precision and freedom, of improvisation and structure. Each of the 10 compositions were written by a different twosome (do the math permutations). Playful bluesy lopes ("Pink Flamingo") accompany tinges of reggae ("The Locks of Dread"), Celtic ("Macedonia"), and Middle Eastern ("Blue Men of the Sahara") music. There are urgent burners, somber mood pieces, and tender ballads, all delivered with grace. --Marc GreilsamerCountry Music CDs
