Asst. studio manager Daniel Russo, Bela Fleck, ?uestlove, and moderator Lucia Kaminsky in Studio A lounge.
Red Bull Music Academy, in conjunction with The Folk Alliance, came to Ardent’s Studio A to put on an interview and Q&A session with drummer and producer extraordinaire ?uestlove (The Roots, Al Green, Common). A studio audience of about a 100 people got to witness this exciting and exclusive event. Lucia Kaminsky of the Memphis chapter of The Recording Academy acted as moderator.
The topic for the seminar was how cross-genre collaborations are affecting the future of music – a topic appropriate for what was to come next: ?uest hopped on the drums, and banjo player and bluegrass magnate Bela Fleck (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones) made an appearance for a jam session right in the studio. Video is available here.
Stay tuned for more video and photos from this special day, and in the meantime, check out what ?uest
