Flecktones Set to 'Jingle' This Fall

Michael D. Ayers, N.Y., Billboard Magazine

Flecktones fans can expect an early Christmas this year, as the Bela Fleck-anchored quartet will release its debut holiday album, "Jingle All the Way" Sept. 30 via Rounder.

The 16-song set has an eclectic array of tunes, from Bach to Vince Guaraldi, traditional songs and the Joni Mitchell classic "River." Guests include Andy Statman, Edger Meyer and the Alash Ensemble, who specialize in Tuvan throat singing.

"We've always wanted to do an album like this," Fleck tells Billboard.com. "This year we started to do less touring, and we didn't want to tour without some new music. It was a slow, steady project. A lot of the arrangements were worked out on tour."

Fleck says the group felt a sense of freedom with these songs because of how familiar it was with most of them, allowing for a more experimental approach. "With your own, you need to state the melody right away," Fleck explains. Of the most ambitious, "Twelve Days of Christmas" builds up to 12 different keys and 12 different time signatures over the course of the tune. "Medley" sought to meld as many Christmas tunes as possible into one song, and Fleck confesses that there's a moment where "five of six are being played together, simultaneously."

"Jingle All The Way" is the Flecktones' first release on Rounder after the group's recent release from its Columbia deal. Prior to the formation of the Flecktones, Fleck started his career with Rounder in 1979.

A U.S. tour that will highlight most of the "Jingle All The Way" material is scheduled to begin Nov. 15 in Spokane, Wash., and concludes with a four-night run at the Blue Note in New York.






"Throw Down Your Heart" - Béla Fleck's Film
"Throw Down Your Heart" follows Béla on his journey to Africa to explore the little known African roots of the banjo and record an album.

Jul 10 2009 6:01 AM

Hello!

I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.

There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a link to the video for a new tune called Run Bobby Run:

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
