    There will never be another Bela Fleck. He's more than just a banjo player that seems to defy the laws of physics. He's an ambassador of great musicians. Everybody he surrounds himself with shines like gold when they perform with him.

      Amen to this! Integrity and generosity and virtuosity are a rare and wonderful alchemy. Jerry Douglas, Alison Krauss, YoYo Ma, Sting, Aoife O'Donovan and Chris Thile are others who have moved me in this manner.

      Yes indeed. He's the best possible leader. Saw him just a few months back & he was the inspiration for all involved. I felt special just being there & watching. Sierra Hull was absolutely magical as well. They worked brilliantly together.

      The Dobro solo totally encapsulates that feeling. Jerry Douglas is a master. I hear a whole story of a boy adventuring the country side outside of his home, growing up, venturing further and further, and finally settling down as an old man with his memories.

    Best part; Jerry's solo. Bela gives him the nod and there's just a very quiet reverence about the group as they support. Again, glorious!

    My favorite parts are when the bass plays a solo. Not often you see the bass pick up the lead like that. And the accordion part that goes along with it is so sweet. The guitar solo from Jerry is also great. And then the whistle near the end is just perfect. And finally, the parts Bela plays at the end. A overwhelming crescendo of notes and scales. 10/10. It simply doesn't get any better than this.

    @ramzirihani9060 Před 4 lety +3

    This piece strips you from the need to understand, analyze and rationalize music and gives you this upper hand of feeling it so smoothly and easily. A tune so contagious despite of its complexity, and a relay of musical instruments from the banjo, to the stand-up bass, flute, violins, acoustic guitars, and accordion, all of which makes you feel you are part of the ensemble. One instrument takes the tune from the other and passes it to another instrument as if they were a master sports team with an elevated command of the art. And then they build it up to reach a crescendo that makes you want to stand up and scream loudly cheering for scoring a touchdown. What a team!
    People have used this piece of music on many occasions: weddings, driving in the country side while speeding in a convertible and the wind blowing her hair, new born, and some even requested it to be played at their funeral. A master composition is one that evokes all kinds of feelings, happy, sad, mild and strong with tears of joy and sadness. This one is a great example

      Yes . Bela says that this song came to him in a dream and it was all he could do to get it down before it faded . He says he called his answering machine and hummed the motif and ran with it from there . The great stuff is not created - it's discovered by those worthy of channeling the wellspring of creativity .

      I couldn't agree more. I can't tell you why some tunes seem to reach down into my soul and pluck at my heartstrings, even when I haven't heard them anywhere special before. This one is definitely one of those tunes. If I knew I had one day left to live, one day to say my goodbyes and set whatever I could right, then one final sunset to watch before the end, I'd listen to this while I watched it.

      True that. This is a song that invokes an overwhelming feeling of majesty and awe. Does that sound a bit over the top? Not in my head. Goosebumps & tears indeed.

    Saw Bela and the Fleck tones along with Phish in SLC in the early '90's. Only part of the seats the hall would hold were set up but they could have saved themselves even this effort, nobody sat down the entire time, we were all dancing our asses off.

    Let me just add - The Enchantment - one of my favorite musical possessions and then concert experiences. Bela Fleck and Chick Corea - very nice duo version of Mountain.
    Also - Uncommon Ritual with Edgar Meyer on bass and Mike Marshall on guitar - great trio version.
    On Sound Stories, Bela tells how the tune came to him driving his car. He called his answering machine from his cell phone and sang it in so he wouldn’t forget the melody.

    • @gregmizell7861
      @gregmizell7861 Před 4 lety

      I remember him telling that story. He said that song writing is usually a tortuous affair for him but that every once in a while a song appears out of nowhere fully-formed in his head. Big Country was one such song and he didn't want to lose the melody so he sang it to his answering machine.
