Strength In Numbers
Strength in Numbers was an all-star side project comprised of Sam Bush (fiddle/mandolin), Jerry Douglas (dobro), Béla Fleck (guitar/banjo), Mark O'Connor (fiddle/guitar/mandolin), and Edgar Meyer (bass). The artists were familiar with one another, having performed in the same circles for years, as well as on the same stage -- in numerous incarnations -- at the annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Strength in Numbers grew out of appearances by the group as sort of the de facto house band at the Colorado festival; Telluride Sessions, its only album, documented the easygoing newgrass fusion that Strength in Numbers would often perform there. Accomplished bluegrass musicians all, the members of Strength in Numbers were also steeped in the jazz and classical traditions, which found their way into the arrangements on Telluride Sessions. Most of the bandmembers said there would never be another Strength in Numbers album after the first. But since each musician continued to play on the others' albums and appear at festivals such as Telluride, the potential for more genius was there. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

The only thing I own that compares is O'Connor's 30 Year Retrospectiv e double CD with Chris Thile and Bryan Sutton. 30 years worth of O'Connor's songs, played live, a million notes and not one of them wrong.
Still...noth i n g that lacks JD and Edgar Myer can be the best, can it?
dreams really do come true!
all of these players are superb, but the magic when they record together makes it way bigger than the sum of the parts.....
this was the soundtrack for my wedding reception, and almost everyone guest came and asked who the band was, and wanted a copy.....
and it is some of the best road music of all times!
to play outside of basic blues structures by jammin' along with this CD.I still
have the original copy-it's like magic,it absolutely won't stop playing.
