Jazz piano meets the banjo on a new recording 1 by two of today's most-respected musicians, pianist Chick Corea and banjoist Bela Fleck 2. VOA's Doug Levine tells us about this unlikely musical pairing and their enchanting 3 new CD, The Enchantment 4.
As unlikely as it might seem for Chick Corea and Bela Fleck to team up and record a duets album, when you hear the duo play together, it makes perfect sense. Although both are virtuosos 5 on their respected instruments, as expert improvisers, arrangers and composers, they sound as if they've been performing together for years.
While The Enchantment is Bela Fleck and Chick Corea's first-ever full-length collaboration 6, it isn't the first time the two have worked side-by-side. Corea appeared on two albums with Bela Fleck and The Flecktones in the 1990s. Fleck returned the favor by playing banjo on Corea's live album Rendezvous 7 In New York, featuring singer Bobby McFerrin.
Fleck says he realized that the banjo would work in the context of jazz after hearing a recording of Chick Corea's composition Spain. He calls it "one of those defining moments." Likewise, Chick Corea has always been fascinated by Fleck's music, saying, "When I first listened to The Flecktones, I heard a completely fresh sound."
The Enchantment not only unites two giants of the jazz world, but it melds a variety of musical influences; from ragtime 8, blues 9 and classical to bluegrass, country, Latin and world music. Bela composed six songs on the album and Chick wrote four.
Chick Corea and Bela Fleck made their debut 10 as a duo with a February concert in Daytona Beach, Florida. After a short break, their Enchantment tour resumes in June with appearances at two jazz festivals and a bluegrass festival.
