Béla Fleck expands and explores George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue by paying homage to the legendary composer for its centennial. Released February 12, a hundred years to the day Gershwin premiered the work at Aeolian Hall in New York City, the album has three variations: “Rhapsody in Blue(grass),” “Rhapsody in Blue(s),” and the classic orchestration, but with banjo featured instead of piano, performed by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Eric Jacobson. The set also features Gershwin’s “Rialto Ripples” and “Unidentified Piece for Banjo,” an unrecorded and unreleased piece discovered at the Library of Congress.

Band member Paul Lacques died in January. The band released this statement: "I See Hawks In L.A. is brokenhearted to announce the passing of Paul Lacques, the driving force of the band. Beyond his virtuoso guitar and lap steel playing, Paul was a vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and producer of prodigious talent and energy. A successful playwright, a committed political activist, a satirical cartoonist, a tender and loyal friend.
Never shy about sharing his opinions with anyone, he was averse to sharing his personal pain and problems. Few knew of his battles over the last several years with the cancer that finally took his life. That was the way he wanted it.
He leaves behind an astonishing body of work, not just with ISHILA, but with Double Naught Spy Car, Earthworm Ensemble, the historic polka rebels, Rotondi, numerous other bands, and the many, many artists for whom he contributed sometimes blazing, sometimes sensitive, always appropriate guitar, lap steel, mandolin, jews harp, drums, production, songwriting, and more.
His ear for detail combined with a tireless mission for work provided the impetus for the Hawks’ 10 CDs and steady touring and gigs.
Forever curious, often challenging, occasionally contentious, at his heart of hearts he was a gentle, sweet man, whose default was caring for others, not just his family and friends, but frequently complete strangers.
To say we will miss him is a monumental understatement. But we hope and pray, and believe that his spirit will soar, like the hawks he loved to watch, free from pain, while his body rests in peace. He is survived by his beloved wife and Hawks drummer Victoria Jacobs, eight brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, and all who loved him and his music."
