Live at The Gardens Concert Series:Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer, feat. Rakesh Chaurasia: As We SpeakSaturday, July 20 | Doors Open at 5 p.m. | Show Begins at 6 p.m.
Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain, and Edgar Meyer 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 the 2x GRAMMY-winning As We Speak. The album 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.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at noon on Friday, April 12, at LCtix.com. For more information, visit fcgov.com/gardens/concerts.
