FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 06/14/04
BELA FLECK & EDGAR MEYER: CLASSICAL AMERICANA
Bela Fleck is the virtuoso banjo picker who cut his fingers on bluegrass, but who now bends his strings to sounds from across music genres. For several years he's worked with bassist and composer Edgar Meyer, a classical musician with a country bent. They recently got together on the live CD, Music for Two (Sony Classical), a rollicking set of classical vignettes and their own originals that range from expansive impressionistic works like "Palmyra" to finger-flying workouts like "Bug Tussle." The two musicians talk about their unique take on a classical americana.

Tuesday 06/15/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DONNA DELORY
In her Los Angeles living room, Donna DeLory sits cross-legged in front of her harmonium and unfolds the Mantric chants of her latest CD, THE LOVER AND THE BELOVED (Ajna Music). Although she has several solo albums out, DeLory is best known as a back-up singer for Madonna on every Madonna tour and most albums since the mid 1980s. On her own, DeLory strikes a more meditative pose. Joined by an ensemble of tabla, guitar and cellist Cameron Stone from Vas, DeLory loses herself in the ecstatic meditations of her delirious mantric arrangements. We join her live, on Echoes.

Wednesday 06/16/04
TREY ANASTASIO: A PHISH IN CLASSICAL WATERS
Phish is the highly regarded and willfully eclectic jam band from Vermont that has taken on Grateful Dead-like allegiance from their fans. A band that is usually plugged in and often improvising, Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio shows another side to their sound with his solo album, Seis de Mayo (Elektra). Anastasio creates a suite of works scored for chamber orchestra, string quartet, brass band and occasionally, some acoustic guitar. Many of these tunes have been played by Phish, but Anastasio says their roots are in his pre-Phish classical studies. Trey Anastasio talks about swimming in classical waters on Echoes.

Thursday 06/17/04
GLEN TARACHOW: TICK, TOCK, DRIP
Glen Tarachow is a New York City based composer who spends most of his time writing commercial jingles and soundtracks. But on his own, he creates an ambient soundworld called "Waterclocks" (Burning Water Rebellion Records). It's a mesmerizing work of interlaced melodic cycles picked with time-stepping delicacy. Unlike most cyclical pieces, Tarachow recorded his guitar and keyboard piece line by line, playing all the parts straight through. In his Astoria studio, Glen Tarachow takes us inside the synchronous timepiece of WATERCLOCKS.

Friday 06/18/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH VINCE REDHOUSE
Vince Redhouse is an Arizona based musician and is one of six music siblings in the Redhouse clan that includes singer/bassist Mary Redhouse. A one-time evangelical preacher, Vince Redhouse brings Native themes to Christian spirituals, turning them through his Native flute in sensitive ensemble settings. Vince Redhouse talks about his personal approach to the Native American flute and a Native vision of spirituality.
