Entwined

by Jake Schepps Quintet

supported by

Roy Meerkamper Not classic bluegrass, but classical bluegrass. Thanks to Ed Buckley. Favorite track: Flatiron II: Herringbone (Mellits).

Deidre House Instrumental bluegrass chamber music is how I'd describe this album. Absolutely wonderful. Check this out if you liked The Goat Rodeo Sessions. Ed Buckley pulls me ever closer to bankruptcy.... which doesn't seem so bad, as long as I can listen to this. Favorite track: Flatiron V: Mahogany (Mellits).

about

Flatiron (Marc Mellits) (25:50) (Tracks 1-8)
Drawn (Matt McBane) (23:27) (Tracks 9-13)
Migrations (Matt Flinner) (20:32) (Tracks 14-17)
Stumble Smooth (Gyan Riley) (7:33) (Track 18)

Total time: 77:37

The music on this album represents some of the first ever long-form works written by classical composers for the traditional 5-piece bluegrass string band, an ensemble that was minted when banjoist Earl Scruggs joined Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys in 1945. By commissioning these pieces, I hope to offer a fresh perspective on this iconic instrumental combination, and a prismatic view into these four fascinating compositional worlds.

Ben goes on bike tour playing shows with his cello, a drummer, and is an all around amazing human being. And played on the Bartok album too. Jake Schepps
