Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. The first time banjo legend Bela Fleck， tabla master Zakir Hussain， and double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer got together to make an album， it was to write， not to play. Fleck had met Hussain at a workshop where， as Bela put it， "I thought Edgar and I could learn a lot from him." Later， when Fleck and Meyer were looking for a third partner for a triple concerto they had been commissioned to write to mark the opening of Nashvilles Schermerhorn Symphony Center， they thought of Hussain， who wanted to learn more about orchestral writing. The result was The Melody of Rhythm (2009)， recorded with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin. "We tried to write some pieces that took the melodies and compositions in the concerto and developed them into different areas，" explains Fleck. "But we really hadnt performed at all." It wasnt until the three began touring to promote the album that the trios true potential became apparent. Although each had a base in a different musical realm - bluegrass for Fleck， Indian classical music for Hussain， and Western classical music for Meyer - they shared a gift for improvisation as well as an ability to reach across musical genres as casually as neighbors might chat over a backyard fence." When we are performing on stage， in composing mode or creating mode， we are basically having a conversation，" says Hussain. "So the music emerges as we speak." Hence As We Speak， an album that not only showcases the groups breathtaking abilities as instrumentalists， but underscores the wide range of musical influences at their command. Across a dozen tracks， the group glides easily between the cerebral complexity of Indian rhythm and the gut-level groove of a funky bass line， sounding equally at home with the rigors of raga.こちらの商品は輸入盤のため、稀にジャケットに多少のスレや角にシワがある場合がございます。こちらの商品はネコポスでお届けできません。2023/5/12発売輸入盤レーベル：BELA FLECK PRODUCTIO収録曲：(ベラフレック)
