These are three very talented musicians. We especially liked Zakir Hussain. However, the music was not as exciting as I had hoped. It was a little too esoteric for me.Written on Oct 24 2009

Our entire group loved this musical troika. Three magnificant artists performed at the top of their game. Each had the opportunity to share several samples of his personal "exotica" as well as to mesmerize the audience as two or three played in combination. It was such a treat to hear these gentlemen perform at the same concert. I can't wait for the album!Written on Oct 23 2009

A wonderful evening was had by all who attended. The performance was excellant, as was the song selection, which featured pieces written by each artist, as well as solo showcases to demonstrate their mastery of music.Written on Oct 23 2009

Description
All virtuosos on their respective instruments, Béla Fleck, Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer move with ease among the musical arenas of bluegrass, world and classical. Fleck virtually reinvented the image of the banjo: he's been nominated in more different Grammy categories than anyone in history, winning eight times. Stellar bassist, composer and MacArthur Award-winner Meyer has carved out a singular niche, recording with leading classical performers and adding to the repertoire of his often-overlooked instrument. The classical tabla playing of Hussain has made him a national treasure in his native India and a leader in world music globally. These three perform live together for the first time on this concert tour featuring original music from a forthcoming CD.
About the Ticket Supplier: UCLA Live
Active, intrepid and ever-evolving, UCLA Live is powered by the energy, attitude and imagination of today's most extraordinary artists.
Perched on the Western edge of North America in Los Angeles, a city where an exciting new modernity is being forged, UCLA Live is one of the most unique and significant presenters and producers of performing arts in the country. At the vanguard of dance, music, spoken word, and experimental theater, the program is unrivaled in its breadth and uncommon mix of genresâe"presenting a kaleidoscope of more than 200 performances each year to more than 150,000 audience members. UCLA Live's programs occur in a number of venues on UCLA's campus and beyond, including the historic Royce Hall, renowned for its acoustic excellence and tremendous sightlines.
Like the city that feeds it, UCLA Live promotes an aesthetic of fusion and diversityâe"in which concert hall divas, world-class chamber orchestras and hip-hop dancers share the seasonâe"and sometimes the stageâe"with post-modern dancers, world music superstars, contemporary storytellers, and rock 'n' roll mavericks. The local and the global, the ancient and the modern form symbiotic relationships, in which the inner-city infuses Western European traditions with modern soul; and the spirit of the avant-garde radiates from dark stages to the serpentine freeways, suburban byways, and breezy waters of the Pacific.
An incubator of new ideas, UCLA Live is dedicated to radical, genre-bending collaborations and the development of new work. At the crux of this mission is the annual Artist in Residence initiative, featuring internationally-acclaimed artists whose works are characterized by an unrelenting curiosity and dazzling originality. Inaugurated in 2001 by pop music icon Elvis Costello, followed by the virtuosic Kronos Quartet in the 2002-03 season, and the wildly eclectic producer Hal Willner in 2003-04, this yearlong program deepens UCLA Live's commitment to the creative process by nurturing the development of new works and collaborative endeavors.
A presenter of the same stature as Brooklyn Academy of Music and Lincoln Center, and the country's largest and most outstanding university-based performing arts presenter, UCLA Live has commissioned major works by Laurie Anderson, Pina Bausch, Philip Glass, Bill T. Jones, Kronos Quartet, Miami City Ballet, and Robert Wilson, among many others.
