iTunes Review

This EP is Mastered for iTunes. The floor seats were filled with eager audience members and excited patrons lined the three-sided perimeters of the mezzanine and loge levels as cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Chris Thile, fiddler/multi-instrumentalist Stuart Duncan, and double bassist Edgar Meyer took to Boston's House of Blues stage in late January 2012. Five numbers from that unique concert are featured on this exclusive EP, including “Quarter Chicken Dark” and “Here and Heaven” from the Goat Rodeo Sessions album, which birthed this supergroup. Guest vocalist (and proud Beantown native) Aoife O’Donovan reprises her role on the latter, duetting with Thile. The two also sing on the final encore number, a stirring rendition of the Welsh folk song “All Through the Night.” Thile, Ma, and Meyer’s crisp trio interpretation of the fourth movement of Bach’s Gamba Sonata No. 1, in turn, is a fitting nod to the cellist and bassist’s formidable standings in the classical community.

Customer Reviews

So wish I could have seen this in the cinema when it streamed live.

All of these musicians, individually, are incredibly talented. Together, they are like a pangalactic gargleblaster… Yo Yo Ma seems very interested and amused by the enterprise, Chris Thile seems enthused and genuinely happy to get a challenge, Edgar Meyer… well, he's too quiet to know whether he's planning world domination or just tea. And Stuart Duncan is a new one to me, but in such company I'm sure he's worth his salt. Can't wait to give this a good listen on decent headphones; the single had me laughing out loud for the sheer fun of it.

Ma is the Man!

Always great to hear Ma playing. $5 is a great price for these 5 tracks too.

Fun

Yo yo Ma gets it. This is very funny but cool. WOW!

Biography

Born: February 20, 1981 in Oceanside, CA

Genre: Country

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

A new description of Chris Thile would be hard to come by, especially since all the good superlatives have already been used. They called him a child prodigy when he was 12 years old and making his first solo album, 1994's Leading Off..., and a virtuoso when he was 20 and putting out his third solo effort, 2001's Not All Who Wander Are Lost. On the heels of those descriptions came effusive adjectives for his talent with a mandolin, words like "brilliant," "bold," "utterly fantastic," and "staggering."...
