Der US-Amerikaner Béla Fleck gilt als absolutes Multi-Talent – nicht nur am Banjo. Zwischen 1995 und 2012 gewann er insgesamt 13 Grammy-Awards in den Bereichen Country, Jazz, Instrumental, Klassik Crossover, Pop Instrumental sowie World Music – weitere 25 mal wurde er nominiert. Béla Fleck gilt als der Musiker, der mehr als jeder andere Musiker in der Grammy Historie nominiert wurde.
Seit Béla Fleck den blinden Pianisten Marcus Roberts in der Wynton Marsalis Band in den 80ern gesehen und gehört hat, gehört er zu dessen Fans. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass es schließlich zu einer Zusammenarbeit dieser Musiker kam.
Die Instrumentierung des Quartetts auf Across The Imaginary Divide ist eine seltene Kombination:
Béla Fleck – Banjo
Marcus Roberts – Piano
Rodney Jordan – Bass
Jason Marsalis – Schlagzeug
Banjo und Jazz - Béla Fleck zeigt in einzigartiger Weise, dass dies kein Gegensatz sein muss.
Product Information
When long time Marcus Roberts fan and banjo virtuoso, Béla Fleck stayed late at a Savannah Music Festival jam session just to hear Roberts play, the last thing he expected was to be up on stage performing with him and his band but “it seemed to work instantly. Marcus seemed to really like it. And the 20 or so people at the jam session seemed to think that something very special had just occurred.”
A year later they had agreed to perform together for the first time at the same festival in Savannah. “We threw together a set of music, and played it for a packed and intrigued crowd. The gig was honestly amazing. There was a natural rapport between Marcus and me from the first note, and Jason Marsalis (on drums) and Rodney Jordan (on bass) were just incredible. I loved their trio conception, and was thrilled to be able to find a way to exist within it,” said Fleck.
The Marcus Roberts Trio is known for its virtuosic style – a style that is strongly rhythmic, melodic, and filled with dynamic contrast. The group was founded in 1995, and they are known around the world for their signature trio style. Béla Fleck is often considered the premier banjo player in the world. He has virtually reinvented the image and the sound of the banjo through a remarkable performing and recording career that has taken him all over the musical map and on a range of solo projects and collaborations. “It was a lot of fun working with Béla on this project. He has a limitless imagination and, like our trio, he is willing to do whatever it takes to make a great record. The recording brings our two styles together in a way that I think will be really enjoyable for the listeners,” said Roberts.
