Telluride Sessions

The Telluride Sessions is an album recorded by five acoustic-music instrumentalists under the name Strength in Numbers and released in 1989 on MCA Records Nashville. The five members are: Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck, Mark O'Connor, and Edgar Meyer. The album is progressive bluegrass with jazz inflections, but also adds elements from classical music. O'Connor, Fleck, and Meyer further developed this genre in their compositions for orchestra and chamber music.[1]

Apart from the ground-breaking musicianship, the project is also notable because each song was composed by a different pair of the artists featured. Each possible pair of musicians created one song for the album, one of the reasons for the name of the band, Strength in Numbers.

Personnel
gollark: It would be good, but someone will inevitably kill it a few electoral terms down the line.
gollark: I mean, if that 3 month extension thing goes through, it might be workable, at least.
gollark: This is a new level of craziness. An Australian prime minister claimed that their laws were more important than the laws of mathematics, but they're trying to beat simple logic.
gollark: I think they voted to not have one, but I don't know how that's actually meant to work.
gollark: Less awful than hard brexit I mean.
