Flecktones

Reaves got his start in the Nashville country music business in the 1980s, as an engineer working for producer Marshall Montgomery. MCA producer Tony Brown overheard Reaves' space music improvisations in a studio late one night, and signed him for a contract that resulted in two solo albums and a collaboration with Jon Goin on the MCA Master Series. MCA provided little promotion or distribution for these albums, but 1986's Wunjo received critical acclaim from Electronic Musician magazine, which named it a top electronic album of all time.

Great collection with 68 original songs that traverse country, blues, folk, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, Tejano, and Native American styles, demonstrating 20th-century American "roots music", based in the rich ethnic, geographical, and cultural traditions. This 4 CD set is the musical companion of a four-part PBS documentary on the american music, its roots and its evolution. Enjoy a superb music collection with great cultural and educational value.

Vocalist David Osmond, son of Alan and nephew of Donny and Marie, teams with bandleader, producer, and saxophonist Caleb Chapman for this new “contemporary big band” project. There’s More Where That Came From reimagines a host of pop and country classics (“Ring of Fire,” “You Don’t Know Me,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “For Once in My Life”) along with original tunes (“We Might as Well Fall in Love,” “I Need a Real Good Thing”) and even a modern-day cover (Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”). The duo is joined by a band featuring such star players as trumpeter Rashawn Ross (Dave Matthews Band) and saxophonists Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) and Karl Hunter (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy).

The Boston Herald says, simply, ''All Songwriters should be this good,'' and in early review, Maverick calls Flat Earth Diary ''Magnificent.''

This live album from pianist Chick Corea and banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck compiles material chosen from more than 55 shows, spanning seven years and packed with musical brilliance. Corea and Fleck pored over recordings from every single show and every take to unearth the best-of-the-best, "super-magic" renditions contained here. The track list includes songs from the duo's 2007 Grammy-nominated and Latin Grammy-winning albumThe Enchantment reworked with boundary-stretching improvisation, other Corea and Fleck classics, as well as choice new music added to the repertoire along the way. On "Two", the mutual respect and appreciation of each other’s music come to the fore.

The Ripple Effect is the coup de grace of Bela Fleck's ten year-plus excursion into the African roots of his chosen instrument of the banjo, originally titled Throw Down Your Heart (Rounder, 2009). Part of a larger set comprised of both video and audio on DVD/CD, The Complete Africa Sessions (Craft Recordings, 2020), these ten concert culls are also available as a double set of vinyl that capture the natural, fluent chemistry between this banjoist extraordinaire and West African kora master Toumani Diabate.
