My Bluegrass Heart

Béla Fleck

2021
Renew Records

Don’t be fooled by the title: true, bluegrass has always been close to Béla Fleck’s heart, but this is only a bluegrass album in the loosest sense. Really, it’s a jazz album (listen to the chord changes on “Vertigo”), though Fleck’s music has always been too stylistically expansive to be contained by any one genre designation. Highlights here include his banjo trio number with Tony Trischka and Noam Pikelny and the sweetly lyrical (and harmonically spiky) “Charm School.”
