CD Reviews

The Great Banjo Innovator
Tad Richards | Saugerties, NY USA | 06/14/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"George Stavis introduced himself to Bela Fleck once, after a Fleck concert. Bela's immediate response -- "I know who you are -- you're the guy who started all this!"



And Stavis is. This album, first released in the 1960s, takes take the banjo into thithero unexplored territory. Don't miss the extraordinary banjo interpretation of Coltrane's version of My Favorite Things."
