Edgar Meyer in the Ballet?

edgar meyerI just recently found an article about a ballet production that took place in the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts in Mountain View, CA. Once segment of the ballet featured a performance with bass player Edgar Meyer.

This from InsideBayArea.com:

The key segment of the evening was Smuins’ 2005 effort “Bluegrass/Slyde,” set to the music of famed string bassist Edgar Meyer. One wonders which to admire the most: the dancing or the athletic displays of the dancers. In this piece, Smuin indulged himself heavily in his tendency to weave in sudden, unexpected and very funny movements for the dancers.
