"From their sold-out concert at New York City's Avery Fisher Hall, legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Mark O'Connor, and bassist Edgar Meyer, along with special guests James Taylor and Alison Krauss, perform works from the trio's acclaimed albums that span many musical genres. "1B," "Emily's Reel," "Misty Moonlight Waltz," and many others are among the featured selections".
"Banjo master Béla Fleck and upright bassist/composer Edgar Meyer have been collaborators since 1982. They have toured together and have often appeared on one another's recordings. In 2006, they met Shakti co-founder and tabla master Zakir Hussain. The trio recorded 2009's Grammy-nominated "The Melody Of Rhythm" with Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. While touring India in support, they encountered bansuri flutist Rakesh Chaurasia. He joined the trio on-stage, and their collective chemistry resulted in a plan for future collaboration. It took almost a decade-and-a-half, but As We Speak is the long-anticipated result. The 12-track set ranges musically. Single "Owl's Misfortune" offers each musician's core style, though the approach is multivalent, moving through classical counterpoint, raga, roots, bluegrass, or jazz improv. The album follows a more holistic path, approaching the music like an ensemble with soloists rather than the opposite." (Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
