Béla Fleck is often considered the premier banjo player in the world. A New York City native, he picked up the banjo at age 15 after being awed by the bluegrass music of Flatt & Scruggs. Since releasing his first solo album in 1980, Fleck has continued to make a name for himself on countless solo and ensemble projects as a virtuoso instrumentalist.
The recipient of multiple Grammy Awards going back to 1998, Béla Flecks' total Grammy count is 13 wins and 27 nominations. He has been nominated in more different categories than anyone in Grammy history.

Hi there ! While searching for a live performance of "The Longing" , I listened to it a couple of times and I feel it deserves a revamp with better drums, may it be synthaxe drumitar or a real kit, but better sounds. The bass and banjo solos were perfect. That song is outstanding but too short. Thanks for those good sunny vibes. Québec, Canada.
Wow. Just wow. I don’t think anyone truly understands Bela’s level of virtuosity. He’s like a Chopin multiplied by Mozart, to the Nth power of Michael Jordan. Touched by the gods!
