FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 03/03/03
PETER KATER: RETURN TO VIRTUAL NATIVE SOIL
Pianist Peter Kater spent most of the 1990s working with Native American flute player R. Carlos Nakai in a series of acclaimed CDs of duets, chamber ensembles and soundtracks. On his latest CD, RED MOON (Silverwave), Kater returns to that fertile soil, recording an album of Native American chamber arrangements with an undertow of electronica rhythms. Teaming up with Nakai, Mary Youngblood and other Native musicians, Kater orchestrates an ambient native chamber music, even though during its making, few of the players were ever in the same state, let alone the same studio. Kater shows us how he created his virtual ensemble.

Wednesday 03/05/03
BARBARA HIGBIE II: VARIATIONS ON A FOLK PIANO
In the second of a two-part feature on pianist Barbara Higbie, we sit in the composers converted garage studio while she takes us into the lyrical roots of her compositions and talks about combining Terry Riley and Charlie Brown. The pianist and fiddler came to early renown on the Windham Hill label, recording the influential TIDELINE CD with then-husband, fiddler Darol Anger. That led to the formation of Montreux, a heady acoustic fusion of jazz, bluegrass and chamber music that included bassist Michael Manring and mandolinist Mike Marshall. Now, Higbie is focusing on solo piano for the first time, with the release of VARIATIONS ON A HAPPY ENDING (Slowbaby).

Thursday 03/06/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AURAH
Aurah is Swiss musicians Marc Dold and Judith Martin. You've heard them both separately as session musicians and re-mix artists. Dold's re-mix team, S.A.F, created the hit version of Enya's "Only Time." As Aurah, they traffic in an electronica brand of ethereal world fusion whose themes are inspired by Paulo Coelho's mystic novel, "The Alchemist." They blend Middle Eastern and flamenco touches with electronica grooves and Martin's breathy vocals. In the Echoes living room they re-create their sound live.

Friday 03/07/03
ECHOES AT THE MOVIES
It's time to break out the popcorn and jumbo soda as Echoes goes to the movies. The Holiday surge has brought us a host of innovative soundtrack scores that go beyond the usual Hollywood orchestrations. Echoes creates an imaginary one hour soundtrack for these scores including music from ONE HOUR PHOTO, SOLARIS, ROAD TO PERDITION and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
