Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer
Music for Two (with bonus DVD)
On Music for Two, banjo wizard Béla Fleck and stand-up bass maestro Edgar Meyer effortlessly sail through a challenging program that includes compositions by Bach, a sonata by Henry Eccles, a Miles Davis tune, and a number of self-composed finger twisters. The amazing thing about this varied selection is not its eclecticism--which is only to be expected with these two--but that it all blends together so seamlessly. Fleck's jazz-tinged compositions (like "The Lake Effect") and Meyer's bluegrass-inspired tunes (like "Wishful Thinking") sit so comfortably next to Bach's baroque jewels and Davis's cool jazz that it makes you question the entire of concept of musical classification. (In fact, the Bach preludes, inventions, and partitas translate so well to the banjo/bass arrangements, you have to wonder if old JSB might not have had a bit of bluegrass in his soul.) Music for Two was recorded live at a series of 2001 concerts, where Fleck and Meyer proved conclusively that the banjo and the bass were capable of remarkable subtlety and not just twang and boom. --Michael John Simmons

John Cowan

John Cowan was the voice behind one of the best jam bands of the '80's-new Grass Revival. John's new, self-titled solo CD is a rocking hybird/accoustic greeting card to announce to the world that he's back and in the public eye more than ever. Running his own show now, he's free to focus his voice behind solid, radio-ready rock songs. John and his unmatchable voice are ready to take aim at the mainstream once again, but this time it's his band, and he's not holding anything back.
