Bela Fleck is one of the greatest five-string banjo players performing today. Beginning in the 1970s, he honed his lightning-fast chops performing bluegrass, then moved on to contemporary jazz and fusion sounds. With this album, he broadens his horizons once again by performing an entire program of classical music transcriptions. Reminiscent of classical guitar albums by John Williams (who makes a guest appearance here), the disc traverses a wide range of repertoire--from Chopin mazurkas to Bach's Two and Three Part Inventions. Throughout, Fleck displays a feathery touch on his banjo, and his instrument offers a pleasant, brassy tone with very little twang. The technique he displays on Perpetual Motion is astounding and a refreshing change of pace from the smooth grooves found on the banjoist's Flecktones recordings. The arrangements are generally minimalist and understated, but violinist Joshua Bell, bassist Edgar Meyer, mandolinist Chris Thile, and percussionist Evelyn Glennie join in on this groundbreaking disc. Bluegrass purists may be disappointed (this is a far cry from the free-spirited, folksy abandon found on Sony's Short Trip Home and Appalachian Journey CDs), but classical fans will be astounded by how perfectly natural Fleck's banjo sounds on these works. --Jason VerlindeCustomer Reviews:
Amazing and beautiful.......2007-01-02
And he does it without really showing off. He only tackles mazurkas, fugues and Bach classical inventions on the five-string banjo, a simple instrument for which this music was never conceived.
I once flirted with playing the banjo, and it wasn't an easy task, even trying to play 'Uncle Pen'.
But the man must be possessed to play it like Bela does. Alternating between delicate and complicated, slow to fast, Fleck gets about as much out of the humble banjo as anyone possibly could. He plays it precisely and with a light touch, with respect for the music and his instrument.
Some reviewers think it pretentious of Fleck to attempt a banjo foray into the classical genre. That's bunk. How is virtuosity measured, after all? By playing many genres: classical, bluegrass, pop, jazz, Indian, fusion. And by playing them well.
Fleck wasn't awarded a Grammy for this recording just by looking pretty. He earned it.
Another Bela Fleck Masterpiece!.......2006-09-17
Definitely a Winner.......2006-07-05

AN AMAZING WORK ! ! !.......2005-11-12
Béla Fleck did a great job by working with people who is masters of their instruments like John Williams etc. This causes the CD to be more joyful.You won't get bored to listen it again and again!
Anyway ,either you are a fan of classical music or not, you won't be dissapointed with this.I guarantee :)

Reading John Szwed's fascinating Space is the Place: The Life and Times of Sun Ra, you meet "Farrell" Sanders, whom the bandleader ardently convinced to pronounce and spell his name "Pharoah" and extend his already woolly tenor saxophone style even further. So developed some of the 1960s' most unbridled free-jazz wails, especially where Sanders and Coltrane teamed up in the latter's late-period band (as on Live in Japan). But Sanders eventually moved into the realms of sultry balladry, especially that caught on Crescent with Love, and then his late-1990s period, where he's squared up with producer Bill Laswell. Here Sanders leads his second Verve-Laswell session, with numerous collaborators (East Indian percussionists Zakir Hussain and Trilok Gurtu; keyboardists Bernie Worrell, William Henderson, and Jeff Bova; and even Tony Cedras on harmonium). All the edges are rounded and unfierce, with Sanders's tone mostly sweet and lilting, and the dub-tinged tunes draw comparisons well beyond ballads and postbop, reaching toward a geographically unspecific Middle Eastern mix. The vibes are cool. But the music seems a bit less than it could be at most points, except during the eerie "Ancient Song" with its mournful double-reed melody and the mbira-backed "Far-Off Sand." --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
What's all this twaddle about Liberal Jazz police?.......2006-04-18
A great record........2005-10-14
And so, "Save Our Children", an album soaked in Indian, Middle-Eastern and Northern African rhythms appeared, the second (and sadly, last, courtesy of a catalog slash) album by Pharoah Sanders on Verve. With a host of musicians including longtime Sanders pianist William Henderson, Parliament keyboardist (and Laswell regular) Bernie Worrell, bassist Alex Blake, tabla master Zakir Hussein and drummer Trlok Gurtu, Sanders constructed a unique and varied album, wrappd and world percussion, where the presence of Laswell as overseer and Hussein is felt, but understated. This is clearly a Pharoah Sanders album.
The record covers a number of moods, and probably the opener and title track best displays this-- mixing chanted vocals, an African rap, and a positively triumphant vocal harmony-laden chorus over a funky backbeat soaked in percussion with Sanders positively transcendent on soprano sax, the piece is at the same time both light and yet filled with depth (it's also nearly universally hated by everyone else I've ever talked to). Other standouts include "Midnight in Berkeley Square"-- a retake on "A Nightengale Sang in Berkeley Square", with Sanders really getting inside the ballad over a haze, a superb tabla performance and Henderson's framing chords, and "The Ancient Sounds", which finds Sanders over drone then beats, first on an anonymous double reeded instrument then wailing away as freely as he ever has on tenor.
The one even nicer thing about this record is that there's nothing bad or dull-- some of the pieces don't really standout too far ("Far-Off Sand"), but they're all quite listenable. It's not quite a masterpiece, but it's a fine album, well worth investigation for folks who can put Sanders' past behind him and see him as a forward looking musician.
The jazz police were out in force when this released . . ........2004-02-21
What about this disc made the jazz police go ballistic? I think it's its sentimental, heart-on-its-sleave vibe so prominently present on the title cut, with its arm-chair Liberal, arm's-length expression of perfectly legitimate sentiments: a desire to see that the needs of the world's children are met.
What's wrong with this approach is that it's aesthetically inept for the Nobly Liberal Public Virtues the song intends to put forward. Frankly, it's an embarrassment. Ironically, in a strange twist of logic, we're in Shelby Steele territory, where Liberal truisms are exposed for the idiocy they actually are, environs entirely uncongenial to Liberals, who form the vast majority of the jazz police camp.
What's going on here is a naive, unwitting deconstruction of Liberalism's shame concern for burning social issues. Thus, the disc is profoundly politically incorrect because it expresses core Liberal sensibilities in a bathetic, ham-fisted way. But, not being a card-carrying Liberal, I'm free of sham Liberal social orthodoxies, and can thus encounter this music on its own terms, sans the rose-colored Liberal glasses.
What I find here is glorious world jazz of the absolute highest order. Perhaps even better and more fully realized than another Sanders disc, With a Heartbeat, Save the Children operates in a similar vibe and features some of Bill Laswell's richest and most fully realized production. I confess, I'm just completely taken by this disc. Actually, it's probably a little unfair to ground the jazz police's objections to this disc in its naive politics (though I'm pretty convinced that played a prominent part); there's also the wild mixture of (seemingly) alien music aesthetics: Fender Rhodes with tablas and synthesizer drones, deeply sincere (though, admittedly, naive) vocal espressions, and quite simple melodic material.
But you know what? If you've got big enough ears, and can overcome stupid and wrong-headed cultural assumptions, this can be an entirely enjoyable, even revelatory disc. For one thing, it contains brilliant passages of that late-Sanders impossibly rich tenor sax tone, which, for me, would probably work even if he were playing German Polkas or an entire disc of Kenny G compositions. For another, when the Laswell approach works, it tends to work fabulously, as it does here. So forget about the synth washes, the ambient vibe, the politically incorrectness.
Just do it.
Beyond the reach of Jazz snobs, RIP........2003-10-13
