Lords of the Strings.

Watching this ten years later in 2021, it's still one of the coolest session on NPR. Unreal.
-
This ensemble is absolutely wild. Stuart Duncan doesn’t read music, so he learns these crazy arrangements by ear. Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile write and arrange the music. And then Yo Yo Ma is newish to bluegrass and just kills it. This is musicianship and collaboration at the highest level.
-
Edgar Meyer is basically the coolest man alive.
-
It's hard enough to wrap your head around all that talent, but then think about how much talent and how little ego is around that tiny desk is amazing. Not just great musicians, but great men who truly love and care about music more than their own ego. Absolutely rare talent here and I hope a copy of The Goat Rodeo Sessions is already in the Library of Congress as a national treasure!

Each individual is one of the best at their craft. Incredible grouping
-
Can we take some time to appreciate how smooth that violin is.
-
This is, continues to be, and always was my favorite Tiny Desk concert
-
When every member of a "band" has transcended to the unconscious knowing state of musicianship it's always gonna be good.
-
That was adorable when Yo-Yo Ma kept waving at Edgar when he was playing open strings oml
-
Just a bunch of musical geniuses getting together...There is so much complexity in there, and they don't miss a note. Mindblowing.
-
Yo-Yo Ma is so deliciously versatile. I love him in every genre I've heard.
-
-
They are all great but Yo Yo Ma is a Jedi Master and Chris Thile blows my mind on that mandolin.
-
This, even by itself, justified the existence of Tiny Desk, and possibly NPR.
-
this is truly one of the best videos I've ever watched. It's ridiculous. These world class, top of their instruments coming together and doing this at Tiny Desk. It's nothing short of amazing.
-
String instruments are so absolutely beautiful and resonant.
-
omfg Yo yo ma was so beautiful in the second song its too much
-
Attaboy has yet to cease making me crack a smile. Just such a warm song. Can't wait for them to put out another album... please?
-
this is too much fun, literally can't stop smiling.
