Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn Release ‘Banjo Banjo EP’ & Tour Dates

After coming together to finally make a baby, husband and wife, Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn, decided that perhaps it was time to team up for an album, so their little family could tour together for a while. Their new EP, 'Banjo Banjo,' was reportedly produced to keep the happy couple from having to tour separately with either the Flecktones or, in Washburns case, solo. While it's hardly the same as paid family leave, the 23-date tour behind the new EP will keep the Béla, Abigail and their baby boy Juno happily together through June.

Enter the Hristo Vitchev Quartet's self-released 'In Search Of Wonders,' an impressionistic double-album of the highest order.
