Description:

SchÃ¶ne-Neue-Welt-Klassik â?? das Ã¤therisch-atmosphÃ¤rische Album von Banjo-Legende BÃ©la Fleck, Tabla-Meister Zakir Hussain und Bass-Virtuose Edgar Meyer. Das erste Mal, als Banjo-Legende BÃ©la Fleck, Tabla-Meister Zakir Hussain und Kontrabass-Virtuose Edgar Meyer zusammenkamen, um ein Album zu machen, ging es ums schreiben, nicht ums spielen. Fleck hatte Hussain bei einem Workshop kennengelernt, bei dem, wie BÃ©la es ausdrÃ¼ckte, â??ich dachte, Edgar und ich kÃ¶nnten viel von ihm lernen.â?? Als Fleck und Meyer spÃ¤ter nach einem dritten Partner fÃ¼r ein Tripelkonzert suchten, das sie anlÃ¤sslich der ErÃ¶ffnung des Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville schreiben sollten, dachten sie an Hussain, der mehr Ã¼ber das Komponieren von Orchestern lernen wollte. Das Ergebnis war "The Melody of Rhythm" (2009), aufgenommen mit dem Detroit Symphony Orchestra unter Leonard Slatkin. Erst als die drei begannen zu touren, um das Album zu promoten, wurde das wahre Potenzial des Trios deutlich. Obwohl jeder seine Basis in einem anderen musikalischen Bereich hatte â?? Bluegrass fÃ¼r Fleck, klassische indische Musik fÃ¼r Hussain und westliche klassische Musik fÃ¼r Meyer â?? teilten sie ein Faible fÃ¼r Improvisation sowie die FÃ¤higkeit, Musikgenres so beilÃ¤ufig zu erreichen, wie Nachbarn vielleicht Ã¼ber den Zaun plaudern. - FT. RAKESH CHAURASIA

Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. The first time banjo legend Béla 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 Béla 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 Nashville's 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 hadn't performed at all." It wasn't until the three began touring to promote the album that the trio's 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 group's 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.
