Saturday night, Fort Collins was the site of the penultimate tour stop of the world music celebration of the Grammy-award-winning "As We Speak," created and performed by masters of music Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Zakir Hussain, and Rakesh Chaurasia.

Today, 8-time GRAMMY® Award winner Christian McBride has shared a new single “Philly Slop,” recorded with renowned Bassist and composer Edgar Meyer, from the duo’s upcoming album But Who’s Gonna Play The Melody?. "This was my way of putting in the love for my hometown,” writes McBride. “This comes out of that Philly groove. Edgar is a classical bassist with perfect execution, but when he plays the blues that kid from Oak Ridge, Tennessee comes out."

The first time banjo legend Béla Fleck, tabla master Zakir Hussain, and double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer got together to make an album, it was to write, not to play.

They nearly always come back. All the people that leave bluegrass. I had a strong feeling that I’d be coming back as well. My Bluegrass Heart is my first bluegrass record in over 20 years. It comes out September 10th but you can hear Charm School (featuring Billy Strings on guitar and Chris Thile on mandolin) right now.
