From Blue Grass to Jazz

I bought this CD because of Bela Fleck, who is their banjo player. In case you're not a bluegrass fan, improvization has been a feature of bluegrass and many of it's members have ventured into broader musical styles. Bela and his Flecktones is a good example and the New Grass Revival was a precursor of this trend. This CD appeals more to those with folk and country interests than us jazz freaks, Their themes echo the traditional country values of committed love, religion, etc.
