FLAPPIN FLOP OF HOW DO THEY DO THAT!?, July 13, 2005
This review is from: Uncommon Ritual (Audio CD)
to put edgar meyer's bass playing in perspective.... the two top cellos at my school walked in the room while i was listening to this and their jaw's dropped...... then when they heard the furious and yet passionate bass drop down six octaves they jumped back in awe! "that's a bassist!?" now.. having said that... not once does his work take away from the song... and both of the other players are astonishing through the entire album. I love this CD..... R&B.... Fusion... Jazz... Country... Rock... Classical.... as long as you dig music and not a genre of it... just as a woman loves the diamond on her ring and not just one facet of it....you'll probably enjoy this CD.... very thoroughly.

How about six stars? seven?, August 1, 2009
This review is from: Uncommon Ritual (Audio CD)
Meyer and Fleck were astonishing in their previous effort, but I may kick that disc across the room after being totally transfixed by this one. I adore what Fleck does with the banjo, but Meyer is simply staggering on the bass! And to think that a 240 year old instrument can cut the licks Meyer asks of it is more than impressive.
I'm simply agog - eclectic is an understatement, and be forwarned. Once this album starts, you'll forget everything else you thought you might do while listening. It commands your entire attention - and wonder!
