Bela Fleck, The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Brooklyn Rider - Juno flac album

Listen to The Juno Concerto by Bela Fleck - a new album (release date: March 3, 2017) @ New Releases No. The album was recorded with the Colorado Symphony, conducted by José Luis Gomez and also includes two tracks with the Brooklyn Rider string quartet: Griff and the second movement of Quintet For Banjo And Strings, the latter a previously unrecorded collaboration with friend and mentor Edgar Meyer, representing Béla's first experimentation with classical music. Juno Concerto is a reminder that Béla Fleck is among the most innovative and virtuosic musicians of our time. Artist Site Released: March 3, 2017 ON Rounder.

Bluegrass and fusion banjoist Béla Fleck and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (a group well-placed for a progressive bluegrass experiment) here offer Fleck's Juno Concerto, a work named for the young son of Fleck and his less fleet-fingered but equally musically adventurous banjoist/vocalist wife, Abigail Washburn. It's not Fleck's first attempt at a banjo-classical fusion: often working with bassist Edgar Meyer, his experiments in this vein go back to the Quintet for banjo and strings, written with Meyer in 1984 and recorded in part here.

Celebrated banjo player and 15-time Grammy-winner Béla Fleck will release the album Juno Concerto on Rounder on 3 March. The concerto for banjo and orchestra was recorded in March last year with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jose Luiz Gomez. The album is named after Fleck’s son, in celebration of the fact that the musician became a father for the first time at the age of 55. He is married to fellow banjo player Abigail Washburn, and their album together won the 2016 Grammy for Best Folk Album. Also on the album will be two pieces for banjo and string quartet, performed with Brooklyn Rider. Every note of the concerto is coloured by the experience of being a new father, says the banjo virtuoso, and how that has changed what is important to me as a person, as well as what I wish to express through music.

That same year, Fleck and Washburn collaborated with the dance theater troupe Pilobus for an original work commissioned by the American Dance Theater entitled Echo in the Valley.
