Though solo banjo music dates back at least to the late 1700s, Trischka and Fleck have brought it very much into the present with this collection of bluegrass tunes, originals, a Middle Eastern sojourn, rags, jazz, arrangements of Bach, Beatles, fiddle tunes and more! Playing a variety of both metal- and nylon-strung banjos, Fleck and Trischka utilize a variety of techniques as well, playing with and without picks -- there's even wah-wah pedal and various stomp-boxes employed on the album. Two tracks feature the duo performing together live.
