message: I don't know where to put it, but Fleck appeared on norwegian singer Øystein Sunde's 1989 record "Kjekt å ha", together with many other bluegrass heros. The only sources I can find are in Norwegian, like this: . At least the lists of musicians are useful to you. Is this useful information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.207.104 (talk) 22:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a partial discography -- it seemed as though one was in order -- but I'm not wedded to the format of it at this point if other people think it would be better to organize on a strictly chronological (or alphabetical or something else...) basis.  Obviously, additions would help, as well.Adbarnhart 19:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Discography looks really good. I was planning to do this myself but just as well that I didn't. --Peter (Cactus Pete) 13:39, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I know it's easier to complain from outside, but the Discography  section really is sloppy now. Someone should pick a method in which to list Fleck's contributions and recordings and please stick to it. I'm dizzy from looking at the article as it is, and truly, it gives no real hint as to the depth and breadth of what he plays, in particular, on the banjo, which until recent time, (possibly because of him almost entirely?) hasn't been considered an instrument used in recording genres like jazz, or, as was pointed out, alternative rock music, in the case of the Dave Matthews Band. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:01, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't even know where to put this... but doesn't she speak Chinese and have some sort of Chinese connection?  Saw a video on the internet of her in China playing with some Chinese banjo guys and speaking a little Chinese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaw37 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I feel as though it must be mentioned that he has been called a virtuoso from many, many sources.  Does anyone else agree with me?  I feel that that fact just goes to show what an accomplished musician he really is, even more so than such things as Grammy awards.  It could be cited from numerous sources.
Also, I know the Grammy nominations were mentioned, but a lot of his collaborations are not--And when I say that, I'm talking about mostly world music. He's used the banjo in many genres and settings that have never had a banjo touch them--I don't really get that vibe from the article (of course the classical projects are mentioned, but the simple fact that he's playing jazz banjo isn't even highlighted, it seems).
Just some thoughts on the article...Take them as you will.

message: I propose adding this section 
"Music Documentary
In the film Throw Down Your Heart, (2008)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185405/, a film crew follows Béla Fleck on his travels to Africa where he collaborates with some of the best musicians in Uganda, Tanzania, Gambia, and Mali and researches the African origins of the banjo."

replies: text: Can you find a news item or other WP:SECONDARY source reporting about the film? IMDb is only good for saying that the film exists. We are here to summarize for the reader what various publications say about Fleck. Binksternet (talk) 01:44, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Binksternet Ah, okay. Thank you. I wanted to add the information about the documentary to let readers know it exists. I can find many reviews. Is this an appropriate link. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/movies/24thro.html Juliet Sabine (talk) 06:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, The New York Times is always a good source. You can share with our readers something about the journey that is interesting, summarized from the news item. Binksternet (talk) 13:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. I will do that later this week. Since you're an experienced editor Binksternet, might I ask you about a film link I'd like to put on another page that is not music related? No rush. I come to edit just as time allows. Juliet Sabine (talk) 02:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
