BELA FLECK , ZAKIR HUSSAIN EDGAR MEYER HAURASIA

THE TOWN HALL 123 W 43rd st nyc

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

t here’s a bit of the sorcerer in Béla Fleck (banjo), Zakir Hussain (tabla), Edgar Meyer (double bass), and their special guest Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri – i ndian flute). Most musicians hope at most for proficiency in their chosen form, but these gentlemen move from bluegrass to Western classical to i ndian classical to jazz, transmuting genres into something uniquely their own as though they’d gotten hold of the alchemist’s tools that legendarily changed lead into gold. i n any case, it’s music that transcends description; ineffable, indefinable, and very beautiful.

t he story begins around 1980 when e dgar’s friends s am Bush and John Cowan told him about a guy they thought he’d enjoy playing with, Béla Fleck by name. “We first played together in Aspen, just busking, but we were pretty close pretty early. t he thing we had in common was that both of us were completely comfortable talking about music 24/7 – playing, instruments, technology, the machinations of human beings involved, any part of music.” t hey played even more. “As players,” e dgar added, “we were at a formative stage, so to some degree we were shaped by each other. Béla’s inventive, he cares about the details, and he’s willing to put rhythm above other things, to prioritize it.” And rhythm led to the next step,

Béla recalled, “ i met Zakir at a workshop at a festival that he did with (Flecktone member) Future Man. Both e dgar and i thought we could learn a lot from him. When the Nashville s ymphony built its new building, they asked e dgar and i to write a concerto. s ince we’d recently premiered a double concerto, they suggested a triple concerto with someone special. Zakir immediately came to mind. At first we only composed together, working on The Melody of Rhythm concerto. t hen we added the six trio pieces to complete the album, but it was in the touring that we really started to develop a serious musical rapport.” Working on the concerto with Béla and e dgar was “a revelation,” Zakir says, “an eye-opener, a whole other way to make music, especially for me as an i ndian classical musician. i had not imagined that tabla could be incorporated into the world of Western classical music and bluegrass all at the same time. i t opened up a whole new avenue for me to explore.”

Béla continues: “As a banjo player, with short percussive notes, i often feel like a percussionist. Playing with like beings who possess a powerful command of time can set me free. Zakir brings flow, support, and an uncommonly strong sense of time to the playing, so i can relax and flow too. And he’s a forward leaner, by which i mean it feels natural to him to let the tempo pick up subtly, as we do in bluegrass music.

h e brings a sense of effortless mastery to his art, so that he’s often not working at things, just flowing. h e doesn’t feel he has to play at 100% difficulty rate at all times, and he knows how complicated to make it for the people that he’s playing with. h e plays what’s appropriate and gives you just the level of stimulation you need.”

e dgar concurs. “As to playing with Zakir, it’s still a honeymoon for me to be playing with him. h e’s the most interesting musician i ’ve encountered in the second half of my life. i try to enjoy it as well as seeing how much i can learn. h e’s just a unique rhythmic force.”

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

“ t his tour will include new music,” Béla adds, “and ideally we’ll develop a new album out of it. And the new great thing is that this time we’ll also have r akesh as a regular component, which really opens up the sonic palette. e dgar has a sustain buddy now. r akesh came out and played with us a good number of times, and it was a profound connection—he’s easy to play with and fun to be around, and it balances the band not only culturally but in terms of sustain.” e dgar added, “ e ach person in the band is clearly devoted to being a great accompanist as well as a strong soloist. r akesh will be interacting with Béla and i all the time.”

Zakir: “ r akesh is one of a new breed of i ndian classical musicians. We witness him being able to seamlessly flow and interact with many forms of music since he has been exposed to them since the time of his earliest training. r akesh is the finest young bamboo flutist of i ndian classical music and a natural fit with our trio.” Béla sums it up: “We all provide things that differ from each other. e dgar brings in a powerful bass sense, and accesses levels of harmony that neither Zakir nor i can offer; he’s really figured out how to interface harmony with i ndian music. i don’t know what i bring, but i ’m glad neither of them can play banjo! And r akesh is just the frosting on the cake, or actually on a hipper level, the sherry in the she crab soup. t his is going to be fun.”

e dgar concludes, “ i ’m looking forward to a great four-way dialogue, and it will be unique.”

BELA FLECK

Just in case you aren’t familiar with Béla Fleck, there are some who say he’s the world’s premier banjo player. Others claim that Béla has virtually reinvented the image and the sound of the banjo through a remarkable performing and recording career that has taken him all over the musical map and on a range of solo projects and collaborations. i f you are familiar with Béla, you know that he just loves to play the banjo, often reimagining it in unique settings.

t he 15-time Grammy Award winner has been nominated in more categories than any other artist in Grammy history, and remains a powerfully creative force globally in bluegrass, jazz, classical pop, rock and world beat.

h is groundbreaking quartet Béla Fleck & t he Flecktones celebrated their 30 year anniversary in 2018. Béla and his wife Abigail Washburn took home the 2016 Grammy for Best Folk Album, and released the acclaimed follow up LP Echo in the Valley in 2017.

Any world-class musician born with the names Béla (for Bartok), Anton (for d vo ř ák) and Leos (for Janá č ek) would seem destined to play classical music. Béla made the classical connection with Perpetual Motion, his critically acclaimed 2001 s ony Classical recording that went on to win a pair of Grammys, including Best Classical Crossover Album. Collaborating with Béla on Perpetual Motion was his long-time friend and colleague, e dgar Meyer, an amazing bassist/composer whose virtuosity defies labels.

i n 2009, Béla produced the award-winning documentary and recordings, Throw Down Your Heart , where he journeyed across Africa to research the origins of the banjo.

i n 2011, Béla premiered his first stand-alone banjo concerto, The Impostor , with the Nashville s ymphony Orchestra, which commissioned the work. i t has now been performed over 50 times worldwide.

t hese days, Béla performs in an astonishing variety of contexts: his concertos, a duo with Chick Corea, tonight’s trio with e dgar Meyer and Zakir h ussain and guest r akesh Chaurasia, with the Brooklyn r ider string quartet, in banjo duet with Abigail Washburn, banjo and mandolin duet with Chris t hile, and occasionally back to bluegrass with his old friends s am Bush, Jerry d ouglas, s tuart d uncan, Bryan s utton, and others.  h e collaborates with African artists such as Oumou s angare and toumani d iabate, in a jazz setting with t he Marcus r oberts trio, and with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, who continue to perform together 30 years after the band’s inception. Béla’s third concerto premiered in 2018 in New Orleans.

Zakir h ussain is today appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon and one of the greatest musicians of our time. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently brilliant and exciting performances have established him as a national treasure in his own country, i ndia, and as one of i ndia’s reigning cultural ambassadors. Along with his legendary father and teacher, Ustad Alla r akha, he has elevated the status of his instrument both in i ndia and around the world. h is playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity, founded in formidable knowledge and study.

Widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement, Zakir’s contribution to world music has been unique, with many historic collaborations, including s hakti, which he founded with John McLaughlin and L. s hankar, r emember s hakti, the d iga r hythm Band, Making Music, Planet d rum with Mickey h art, tabla Beat s cience, s angam with Charles Lloyd and e ric h arland, and recordings and performances with artists as diverse as George h arrison, Yo-Yo Ma, Joe h enderson, Van Morrison, Airto Moreira, Pharoah s anders, Billy Cobham, Mark Morris, r ennie h arris, h erbie h ancock, and the Kodo drummers. h is music and extraordinary contribution to the music world were honored in April 2009, with four widely heralded and sold-out concerts at Carnegie h all’s Artist Perspective series.

On February 8, 2009, Zakir received a Grammy in the Best Contemporary World Music category for Global d rum Project, his group with Mickey h art, Giovanni h idalgo and s ikiru Adepoju.

A child prodigy, Zakir was touring by the age of twelve. h e came to the United s tates in 1970, performing his first U s A concert at the Fillmore e ast in New York City with Pandit r avi s hankar. A prolific composer and recording artist, Zakir has received widespread recognition for his many ensembles and collaborations. i n 1987, his first solo release, Making Music , was acclaimed as “one of the most inspired e astWest fusion albums ever recorded.” i n 1992, Planet Drum , an album co-created and produced by Zakir and Mickey h art, became the first recording to win a Grammy in the Best World Music category, the Downbeat Critics’ Poll for Best World Beat Album and the NA r M i ndie Best s eller Award for World Music r ecording.

Zakir is the recipient of the 1999 National h eritage Fellowship, the United s tates’ most prestigious honor for a master in the traditional arts, presented by First Lady h illary r odham Clinton at the United s tates s enate on s eptember 28, 1999. i n 2016, Zakir h ussain was among many musicians invited by President Obama to the i nternational Jazz d ay All- s tar Global Concert at the White h ouse.

EDGAR MEYER

i n demand as both a performer and a composer, e dgar Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. h ailed by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled technique and musicianship, in combination with his gift for composition, have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. h is uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002.

As a solo classical bassist, Mr. Meyer can be heard on a concerto album with the s t. Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by h ugh Wolff featuring Bottesini’s Gran Duo with Joshua Bell, Meyer’s own Double Concerto for Bass and Cello with Yo-Yo Ma, Bottesini’s Bass Concerto No. 2 , and Meyer’s own Concerto in D for Bass h e has also recorded an album featuring three of Bach’s Unaccompanied Suites for Cello

i n 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. i n 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, s ony/ BMG released a compilation of The Best of Edgar Meyer i n 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris t hile, and fiddler s tuart d uncan for the s ony Masterworks recording The Goat Rodeo Sessions which was awarded the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.

Mr. Meyer was honored with his fifth Grammy Award in 2015 for Best Contemporary i nstrumental album for his Bass & Mandolin collaboration with his long-time partner, fellow MacArthur Awardee Chris t hile. t his Nonesuch release was a followup to their genre-bending 2008 C d/ dV d, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile h is most recent recording is a 2017 collection of Bach trios with t hile and Yo-Yo Ma.

Collaborations are a central part of Mr. Meyer’s work, and include performing and recording in a duo with Bêla Fleck, a quartet with Joshua Bell, s am Bush, and Mike Marshall, a trio with Bêla Fleck and Mike Marshall, and a trio with Yo-Yo Ma and Mark O’Connor. t he latter three musicians combined to create the 1996 Appalachia Waltz release, which soared to the top of the charts and remained there for 16 weeks. t heir follow-up recording, Appalachian Journe y, was honored with a Grammy Award. i n the 2006-2007 season, Mr. Meyer premiered a piece for double bass and piano performed with e manuel Ax.

Mr. Meyer began studying bass at the age of five under the instruction of his father and continued further to study with s tuart s ankey. i n 1994 he received the Avery Fisher Career Grant and in 2000 became the only bassist to receive the Avery Fisher Prize. Currently, he is Visiting Professor of d ouble Bass at the Curtis i nstitute of Music in Philadelphia.

RAKE s H CHAURA s IA

r akesh Chaurasia, the nephew and child prodigy of flute maestro Pandit h ariprasad Chaurasia, has a famous name to live up to. Amongst the promising musicians of the second generation, r akesh has carved a niche for himself as an accomplished flautist. i nfusing his personal style with the tradition of his renowned uncle, he has evolved an approach that maintains the purity of the flute while also managing to capture the attention of young listeners. t he most accomplished of his uncle’s disciples, he promises to carry the Chaurasia legacy to new heights.

r akesh’s flute has matched note and rhythm with wind instruments of other cultures as well as having performed with Carnatic and world famous instrumentalists. r akesh’s forte is in blending his flute without really losing its identity in mixed instruments concerts. r akesh has already globe-trotted many times over, enthralling audiences at classical and non-classical concerts . h e is also an accomplished studio musician, having recorded with most of the leading stalwarts of the i ndian film industry.

r akesh has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. h e received the i ndian Music Academy Award, presented by the h onourable President Of i ndia, d r. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in 2007, the Aditya Birla Kalakiran Puraskar in 2008, the Guru s hishya Award in 2011, i WAP-Pandit Jasraj s angeet r atna Award in 2013 and the Pannalal Ghosh Puraskar 2013.

d espite his experimental work, r akesh has never deviated from his main goal of becoming a full-fledged classical musician. h e has regularly appeared in prominent festivals such as the WOMA d festival in Athens, Womad e arthstation in e urope, and the ‘Festivals of i ndia’ in r ussia, Japan, the U s , and e urope, h is growing maturity and status has brought him invitations to perform solo at major events within i ndia and abroad, including the Festival of s aint- d enis in Paris and the Leicester i nternational Music Festival in e ngland. Most notably, r akesh was invited to conclude the twenty-four-hour live BBC r adio broadcast celebrating h er Majesty Queen e lizabeth’s s ilver Jubilee, reaching audiences worldwide. r ecently r akesh toured with legendary tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir h ussain both as a duo for classical concerts as well as for The Masters of Percussion at prestigious venues across the globe. r akesh has also performed with such international names as Bêla Fleck, e dgar Meyer, and Joshua r edman. r akesh’s most recent venture is his fusion band r akesh and Friends ( r AF) which creates music that appeals to the young without sacrificing the essence of classical music.

TOUR THE HISTORIC TOWN HALL

Town Hall has played an integral part in the electrifying cultural fabric of New York City for more than 90 years. A group of suffragists’ fight for the 19th Amendment led them to build a meeting space to educate people on the important issues of the day. during its construction, the 19th Amendment was passed, and on January 12, 1921 the town hall opened its doors and took on a double meaning: as a symbol of the victory sought by its founders, and as a spark for a new, more optimistic climate. in 1921, German composer richard strauss performed a series of concerts that cemented the hall’s reputation as an ideal venue for musical performances. since, town hall has been home to countless musical milestones: the Us debuts of strauss, and isaac stern; Marian Anderson’s first New York recital; in 1945, dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker introduced bebop to the world; Bob dylan’s first major concert in ‘63; and much much more.
