Bela Fleck Performs Live

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 5, 2023

Over decades of albums, concerts, and collaborations, banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck has crossed genres and cultural boundaries, bringing the instrument beyond bluegrass. On the collaborative album As We Speak, Fleck draws from both western and Indian classical music and is joined by double bassist Edgar Meyer, tabla player Zakir Hussain, and bansuri flutist Rakesh Chaurasia. Fleck stops by the studio to discuss the album and play live.
