The words ?Do you have room in your heart for the five-string banjo?? boomed from the audio system of a pitch black Flynn Theatre on Saturday, signaling the start of the B?la Fleck Banjo! Summit.Back by popular demand after a string of shows starting in 2012, this banjo collaborative lays claim to some of the world?s most prolific masters of the instrument, all of whom hail from New York. The bill featured names such as Bill Keith, Eric Weissberg, Noam Pikelny, Richie Stearns, Tony Trischka and, of course, B?la Fleck himself. Abigail Washburn, wife of Fleck and fellow banjoist, was taking care of the couple?s newborn son and thus was unable to make it to the performance. The backing band consisted of Carey Driessen on fiddle, Corey Dimario on bass, mandolin player Jesse Cobb and guitarist Russ Barenberg. The set was roughly divided into six parts, with each part centering on an individual banjo player. First to go on was Bill Keith, who showed off the nuances of his patented style of playing, known as ?Keith style,? which focuses on emphasizing the melodic components of a song. Following Keith was Noam Pikelny, who is known for his work with the Punch Brothers bluegrass band. As the youngest of the group, Pikelny more than proved his ability to keep up with the older, more experienced players, performing a harrowing rendition of ?The Broken Draught,? as well as collaborating with Fleck on some Mozart. ?I thought Noam and B?la?s Mozart interpretation was probably the best thing all night,? first-year Dylan Devlin said. ?I?ve seen B?la Fleck a few times before, but this was absolutely fantastic.?Eric Weissberg and guitarist Russ Barenberg highlighted the first half of the show with a re-imagined version of Weissberg?s famous composition ?Dueling Banjos.? The song ended in a blown out full band accompaniment that had the entire audience clapping along. The show resumed after a brief intermission with Tony Trischka, who played a solo piece as well as some new material. Next came Richie Stearns, who added some technical variety to the program with his clawhammer style of playing.B?la Fleck, who made several appearances throughout the sets of the other players, played a few songs on his own, including an excerpt from his banjo concerto, an African-style piece inspired by his newborn son and even a little Bach. The show?s finale featured a four-man contrapuntal banjo jam and a medley of songs written by the late Earl Scruggs and performed by the entire band. Those who stayed for the encore witnessed a truly unique performance by Fleck, Trischka, Pikelny and Stearns, which had the four musicians all plucking or drumming away on a single banjo at the same time. At the end of the evening, smiling fans shuffled out of the theatre, the expressions on their faces making it clear that they did indeed have room in their hearts for a five-string banjo.
