Perhaps the greatest loss of Rory's untimely death is that it ended his nascent collaborations with Bela. I can't imagine, with the vast musical knowledge they both possessed, what could have been. At least we have these severa tracks from Montreax...
I talked to Bela last week. He said that it was a weird experience, because he did not know Rory, and didn`t think that Rory knew of him, but Rory`s promoter had asked Bela if he would jam with Rory. Bela then looked at me confused , with his shoulders shrugged and said: " and it was recorded and has been released for sale" I said: " I know, I listened to it on the way over here. I have it on CD(Wheels Within Wheels) and on DVD(Rory/Montreux)",to which he looked even more confused.
I would have bought this DVD just for this jam alone, it's pure heaven (although there's 2 discs worth of sheer bliss)! I love the sound of Rory's excellent slide playing, with Bella's banjo bubbling up around it. I really enjoy Rory's jams with other artists, he was such a generous host, always giving them space to display their craft, and I love to watch the communication between them, and their joy in what they did. Story is, Rory was hoping for a jam with Bob Dylan, but got Bela instead!

supposedly Rory went to call out Bob Dylan who was backstage.
but Bela Fleck, came on by mistake instead. so Rory just went on with it and loved it.
