Bela Fleck returns to Lexington this Friday with New Melodies of Rhythm

Bela Fleck is returning to Lexington for a concert this Friday at The Singletary Center with world-class musicans Edgar Meyer, Zakir Hussain and Rakesh Chaurasia. The concert will feature new compositions and music from their ground breaking collaborative album The Melody of Rhythm, which was released in 2009.

Rock & Roots host Joe Conkwright catches up with Bela by phone for conversation about his time living in Lexington, bluegrass music and world music, and where to keep his growing collection of Grammy Awards (He's reportedly been nominated in more categories than any other musician, including country, pop, jazz, bluegrass, classical, folk, world, spoken word, composition, and arranging)
