Béla Fleck Instagram – ⭐️ On the #podcast this week! ⭐️ Preeminent #banjo player Béla Fleck is renowned for his unparalleled skills, adventurous spirit, and #musical innovation. He’s won eighteen GRAMMY Awards in nine different fields from #bluegrass to #classical and according to him, he’s defied the odds. A kid from Manhattan who became obsessed with bluegrass music, Béla reflects on the first time he heard the Earl Scruggs’ theme song for “The Beverly Hillbillies,” how he got his namesake from three classical heavy hitters, and why it took nine years to return to the banjo after he fell in love with it at the age of six. Béla discusses his quick progression on the instrument, how he skipped college to his parents’ surprise, and when he realized he had to find his own distinct sound. @davidkrausstrumpet inquires how @belafleckbanjo came to musically interact with classical greats like @joshuabellmusic and @edgarmeyer2344, as well as #jazz legend @chickcorea, while simultaneously shedding his imposter syndrome, and to close it out Béla tells David about the feeling of making time stand still during a performance. Catch the full convo now wherever you get your #podcasts. Link in bio.
