    Music for Two, Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer (Sony)

    Basses, Banjos seek Baroque and Bluegrass

    Nashville-based banjoist Bela Fleck and classical bassist Edgar Meyer stop by the Soundcheck studio to perform some selections from their new live album, "Music for Two." Along with dazzling chops, the duo shows wildly eclectic tastes on the disc, with Baroque-era classical selections (including a canon in 15/8 time), jazz-influenced compositions and bluegrass-flavored concoctions. As we hear, their dynamic was honed after the duo spent several years on the road together. And we'll dip into the Soundcheck inbox to check out some recent listener letters.
