(HD2) Tonight (11/29) on Live at the Bop Stop: Jim Snidero.

Banjo, harp, and drums, three instruments rarely found in the same band. Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda, and Antonio Sánchez turn that unlikely combination into something vibrant and deeply musical, finding shared rhythm and shape in spontaneous conversation. The episode also returns to Fleck and Castañeda’s first duet in 2019, when the idea for this trio first came to life.
