JAZZ ALLEY: Bela Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio
2033 6th Ave, 206-441-9729, 7:30pm
from Earshot Jazz: Banjo’s back in a classic jazz band on Bela Fleck (banjo), Marcus Roberts (piano), Rodney Jordan (bass) and Jason Marsalis’s (drums) Across the Imaginary Divide. Blind Floridian pianist Roberts says, “It was a lot of fun working with Bela on this project. He has a limitless imagination.” Fleck is a tireless music adventurer, bringing the banjo from his own groups to bluegrass superstar groups to Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer to his recent travelogue Throw Down Your Heart (2008), searching out the African origins of the instrument. Showtimes are 7:30pm, 9:30pm, Thursday-Saturday, and 7:30pm, Sunday, at Jazz Alley. Admission is $40.
