Music Review: Chick Corea/Béla Fleck - The Enchantment - Page 2

Some of the sounds are amazing. I enjoy the banjo as an instrument in bluegrass and other forms of music, but this is not your father's banjo. (Not that there's anything wrong with your father's banjo.) Fleck's roots are in that type of music, but he dazzles with his ability to manipulate his instrument in ways I wouldn't have guessed possible, and he's matched along the way by the always enjoyable Corea.

A good addition to any musical library. Chick Corea and Béla Fleck - The Enchantment. Due out May 22nd on Concord.
