Goat Rodeo Sessions, Tiny Desk Concert
RIYL: strings, more talent crammed in a room that should be allowed by law, coital faces made when people really start “jamming” on “tasty riff” (except Yo-Yo Ma, dude is a rock)
Seriously, though, this is the best fifteen minutes the internet has to offer today.
Yo-Yo Ma heads a dream team of string players featuring double-bass master Edgar Meyer, mandolinist Chris Thile (of Nickel Creek and Punch Brothers) and veteran bluegrass fiddler Stuart Duncan in this performance at the NPR Music office.
Hear a lot of jokes and laughs, a broken mandolin string, a little retuning, and some terrific music that’s fun, intricately built and — thankfully — impossible to pigeonhole.
