Over the last four decades, Béla Fleck has made a point of boldly going where no banjo player has gone before-a musical journey that has earned him 16 Grammy awards in nine different fields, including Country, Pop, Jazz, Instrumental, Classical and World Music. His newest project is no different, and yet, entirely original as Fleck expands and explores George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue by paying homage to the legendary composer while redefining an American classic just in time for its centennial. Fortuitously, the album's release on February 12, 2024 coincides with the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue's premiere.
