Thrown Into Deep Water | By Geoffrey Himes<br />
Features<br />
The banjoist appears to not know how to just work on something as a side project.<br />
First he starts a project, and next thing he knows, he has immersed himself<br />
into a new musical vein. From his new Africa project to his work with the<br />
Sparrow Quartet and Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussein—not to mention his ongoing,<br />
immensely popular Flecktones—Fleck stands as one of the most inquisitive,<br />
adventurous players in improvised music.<br />
