I have always loved this tune; it's a standard, done in so many excellent versions (which is the test of a good song: does it still sound good with different arrangements?), including, as particularly relevant here, Pat Martino's take on "Live!" These guys, masters all, clearly took inspiration from that version. I have to work on getting it down on tenor and plectrum. This is inspiring.
From a different perspective -- only a banjo can make those sounds, therefore, nothing can take away its essential character. it's a big world, and that instrument and its kin have made all possible sounds and styles.
Please elaborate on your comment? One of the things I love about bela is how he brought the banjo out of blue grass(which I love) and into so many other genres. First time long ago, when I heard him play Bach, it was a revelation. Every instrument needs someone to take it out of itself, and explore all of its possibilities.

AWESOME!! Thank You!!🤗
Some pretty chilled out banjos there! 👌🏾
Brutal!!
They banjo'd the heck out of me.
Adam is using picks on 4 fingers? 😳
Just cause you can play it on banjo doesn’t mean you should. This throws away everything that makes a banjo a banjo.
In your opinion (aside from genre), what makes a banjo a banjo?
