Banjo great rekindles his passion for trad
BÉLA FLECK, one of the world’s most adventurous musicians, performs in Cork for the first time in 25 years on Wednesday.
Fleck is widely regarded as the greatest banjo player in the world, and has performed in many genres. Bluegrass music attracted him to the banjo, growing up in New York city. In high school in the 1970s, he saw Chick Corea perform and so Fleck infused his own playing with jazz.
