FEATURES FOR THE WEEKFEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Monday 06/28/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AIR

The French duo called Air is both retro and moderne, chilled pop and ambient lounge. They created a splash in 1998 with their album, MOON SAFARI (Astralwerks) featuring the oft heard instrumental "La Femme D'argent" and the Moog driven pop song, "Sexy Boy." This year they released their CD, TALKIE WALKIE (Astralwerks) as well as contributing a piece to the film Lost in Translation. Air comes into the Echoes living room to play music from their latest CD and a cue from their soundtrack for "The Virgin Suicides."

Tuesday 06/29/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SUZANNE TENG & MYSTIC JOURNEY

Global flutist Suzanne Teng gathers her band Mystic Journey in her Topanga Canyon home to unleash the sinuous melodies and throbbing middle-eastern/Indian grooves of her music live. Joined by her husband, percussionist Gilbert Levy, guitarist Fritz Heede and acoustic bassist Barry Newton, Suzanne plays themes from her two solo albums, MYSTIC JOURNEY and MILES BEYOND (Autumn Light Productions), Echoes's January CD of the Month.

Wednesday 06/30/04
DAVID PRITCHARD: STRING DRIVEN THING

David Pritchard is one of those guitarists who thought, if one guitar is good, four or five would be great. Since his 1990 album, AIR PATTERNS, Pritchard has been creating minimalist inspired works of melodic beauty for multiple acoustic guitars. Deceptively complex, Pritchard creates intricate melodic that he deploys among multiple guitars. In Pasadena, David Pritchard talks about his compositions, his latest CD VELOCITY (Molecular Music) and his musicians reveal how difficult they are to play.

Thursday 07/01/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH WILLIAM EATON

William Eaton brings his exotic stringed instruments, like the Lyre-Harp guitar, to Echoes, playing his music live. On his latest album, SPARKS AND EMBERS (Canyon Records), Eaton deploys his instruments in an exotic world chamber fusion that draws its rhythms from the middle east and Africa, it's melodies from India and Appalachia and its atmosphere right out of the desert southwest where the William Eaton Ensemble lives. With percussionist Will Clipman, flutist Claudia Tulip, and violinist Allen Ames, Eaton weaves global themes with Native accents live on Echoes.

Friday 07/02/04
AMERICAN LANDSCAPES: AN ECHOES JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION
featuring:
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BELA FLECK AND EDGAR MEYER.

Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer are proponents of a sound that might be called Classical Americana. Edgar Meyer is a recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" grant for his virtuoso bass playing and rich compositions for orchestra. He's been on Echoes playing with the Appalachian Waltz trio of Mark O'Connor and Yo-Yo Ma and with violinist Joshua Bell. Bela Fleck is a virtuoso banjo picker whose fiery technique is at the base of a true fusion music, spanning genres from bluegrass to jazz to classical. The two musicians recently released Music for Two (Sony Classical). Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer come into the Echoes Living Room for a special July Fourth performance of Classical Americana music.
