The banjo visionary leads an all‑star ensemble through some new music and classic tunes, blending bluegrass roots with jazz and classical influences.Over the last four decades, Béla Fleck has made a point of boldly going where no banjo player has gone before, a musical journey that has earned him 19 Grammys in nine different fields, including country, pop, jazz, instrumental, classical, and global music. But his roots are in bluegrass, and that is where he returns with his band of all-star players, My Bluegrass Heart.
Taking its namesake from Fleck's 2021 Grammy Award-winning album, My Bluegrass Heart, the album was the third chapter of a trilogy which began with the 1988 album, Drive, and continued in 1991 with The Bluegrass Sessions. Fleck’s band spotlights a multi-generational gamut of the best of bluegrass players, all sporting a myriad of Grammy nominations, as well as gigantic piles of IBMA awards for their instruments: fiddler Michael Cleveland, mandolinist Dominick Leslie, Jeff Partin on dobro, bassist/multi-instrumentalist Mark Schatz, and Jake Stargel on guitar.
After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie & Anna Dan Galleria.
