by Ed Kopp
August 1, 1998

Bela Fleck is one of the most innovative musicians in contemporary jazz: he has completely recast the role of the banjo in jazz.

There's good stuff here like the Bach-to-the-fusion of “Playing With Fire" (featuring Dave Samuels on vibes and Fareed Haque on guitar), nice acoustic piano work ...
