Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Over The Wall

Bela Fleck & The Flecktones

None of my friends like jazz so I have no one to share this with, but HOLY FUCK this set is nuts.... The drummer just calmly hanging out playing two instruments wearing a pirate hat while the dude in the Trader Joe's looking shirt shreds some sort of electric banjo like an insane bluegrass version of Alan Holdsworth.

And thats not to mention Victor Wooten who is probably my favorite bassist from outside of the metal world, and a piano player who I'm not super familiar with that can apparently fuck shit up on the harmonica.

Béla Fleck – Már csak néhány jegy van a koncertjére

Béla Fleck – Már csak néhány jegy van a koncertjére - https://metalindex.hu/2024/01/05/bela-fleck-mar-csak-nehany-jegy-van-a-koncertjere/ -

Hat héttel az esemény előtt technikailag telt házas Béla Fleck Müpa-fellépése, már csak a jegyirodákban lehet elcsípni 1-2 jegyet. Február 14-én a Bartók Béla Nemzeti Hangversenyteremben láthatjuk a világhírű bendzsóművészt, ez lesz a harmadik budapesti koncertje.

Akik emlékeznek Béla Fleck előző, nyolc évvel ezelőtti koncertjére, bizonyára azt is tudják, miért hívják Bélának az Amerikában született bendzsójátékost. Nem magyar családi gyökerek okán: az egyébként szlovák ősöktől származó muzsikus zenerajongó édesapja Bartók miatt adta fiának ezt a keresztnevet, amely determinálta Béla Fleck életét. De nemcsak amolyan átlagos zenész lett belőle, hanem egyenesen az a bendzsózseni, akit a világon a legtöbb kategóriában jelöltek Grammy-díjra. Ezúttal egy igazi allstar bluegrass együttes élén tér vissza Budapestre.

Az 1958-as születésű Fleck hangszerének igazi virtuóza, aki mindig innovatív módon, technikailag is tökéletes játékkal keresi az új és még újabb lehetőségeket a bendzsó megszólaltatásában, valamint más műfajokkal való házasításában. Ebben társa felesége, Abigail Washburn is, akivel legutóbb, 2015-ben láthattuk-hallhattuk a Müpában. 2007-ben viszont még Béla Fleck And The Flecktones nevű zenekarával érkezett az A38-ra, a jazz-fusion és a jammelések felé terelve a progresszív bluegrasst. Mielőtt 1988-ban megalapította leghíresebb formációját, hosszú évekig a prog bluegrass egyik alapzenekarával, a New Grass Revivallal zenélt. Nála azonban idővel valóban bármi szóba jöhetett, igen tekintélyes számú, 38 Grammy-jelölése (amelyből 15-öt díjra is váltott) rengetegféle kategóriából áll össze: country, pop, dzsessz, bluegrass, klasszikus, folk, spoken word, világzene, american roots stb. Mostani koncertjén a 2021-ben megjelent, szintén Grammy-díjas ’My Bluegrass Heart’ című lemezét mutatja be olyan nagynevű bluegrass-zenésztársakkal – Michael Cleveland, Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, Mark Schatz, Bryan Sutton –, akik valószínűleg még sosem jártak Magyarországon. A koncert további részletei az esemény Facebook-oldalán.

Roxercat Introduces You To Their New Ep - Pearls Following the release of two well-received singles, Roxercat debuts their six-song EP "Pearls." Roxercat is a progressive rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee, led by singer and songwriter Price Jones, guitarist Stan Lassiter, and bassist Bill Francis. Various guest musicians also appear on the recordings. Roxercat's sound features the imaginative storytelling and stellar musicianship expected from such a seasoned group of Nashville creatives. Recorded at Nashville's Sound Emporium Studios with overdubs at Cat Tracks Studio, the EP was co-produced by Price Jones and Grammy® award-winning engineer and producer Clarke Schleicher. Price's gift for storytelling and composition and the band's polished musicianship come together to provide a very satisfying listening experience. The songs touch on many themes, including life's challenges in a digital age, love, relationships, the paradigm shifts of life, and living through uncertain times. The title song, Pearls, embodies Price Jones' worldview as a simple message: no matter the current status of relationships with the people who come and go throughout your life, you can still wish them happiness. "Life is about surrounding yourself with people that believe in you – and you in them – and always holding on to your dreams," says Price. With each lyric, Price takes us on an emotional journey through life, constantly reminding us to stay in our power. Walk away from relationships that don't serve you, stand firm in your beliefs and resist outside influence, be aware of inevitable changes coming throughout your life and meet them with positivity in the knowledge that our hearts can and will heal. "That's just life." Price Jones began making music as a young girl growing up in Kentucky. She spent summers performing musical theatre professionally across the metro Louisville area. By her late teens, she would discover the classical guitar and move to Nashville, TN, to deepen her studies at Belmont University. Her relocation to Nashville in 1982 marked the beginning of decades-long songwriting, recording, producing, and composing careers. When Jones was not on the road, she owned and managed Cat Tracks studio in Nashville, where she spent ten years producing and engineering. It was there, in 1997, that Jones composed the rock opera, The Fortunate Few. Stan Lassiter is a native of Nashville and a classically-trained guitarist. Considered by many to be the city's premier jazz guitarist, he is committed to the expression and expansion of music. He has performed with some of the best musicians of our time, including the legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt. He has opened for Spyro Gyra, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and numerous others. Bill Francis, a Pennsylvania native, first picked up the bass at 12 years old and two years later was playing out professionally with local rock bands. After graduating high school, he toured throughout the United States and Central America with the internationally known company "Up With People." [caption id="attachment_41906" align="alignnone" width="1658"] Stan Lassiter , Price Jones and Bill Francis[/caption] Bill earned a degree in Jazz Performance at North Texas State University and, since then, has played and toured in a multitude of bands. He has also participated at the Bass Collective in New York City and studied privately with John Patitucci. Bill's true music passion is jazz, but he enjoys playing almost all genres. Stan, Bill, and Price have been playing together since 2017. After finishing up a rock opera project they were all involved in (The Fortunate Few: the rock opera written and produced by Price), they decided to pool their talents once again to form an original rock band, Roxercat. Roxercat also filmed two music videos for their first single releases. View them on their YouTube channel: Pearls Track Listing: 1. Pearls
