FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 08/04/03
MCGILL-MANRING-STEVENS: The PLAINTIFF PRESENTS A CASE FOR FUSION
They sound like a law firm and in certain ways they are arguing a case for fusion. Bay Area bassist Michael Manring, and guitarist Scott McGill and drummer Vic Stevens, both from Philadelphia, create a music born in the sound of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea and Miles Davis, a freewheeling brand of pyrotechnic compositions and free improvisations. Recently, they released their second CD as the trio, McGill-Manring-Stevens called CONTROLLED BY RADAR (Free Electric Sound). A double CD, one disc is electric and the other disc is acoustic. We gather these three virtuosi together to make their case in the Court of Echoes.

ROBERT RICH-HIGH PRIEST IN THE TEMPLE OF THE INVISIBLE
Silicon Valley's Robert Rich is best know for his electronic landscapes merged with throbbing acoustic percussion and sensual flutes. On his new CD, Temple of the Invisible, he goes all acoustic, creating music for an imaginary culture in a distant past. Using prepared piano, odd mallet instruments and singer Sukhawat Ali Khan. Robert Rich reveals the lost music of the Temple of the Invisible.

Wednesday 08/06/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SEVARA NAZARKHAN
Sevara Nazarkhan is a diminutive singer from Uzbekistan who's music is steeped in the ancient sounds and cultures of her homeland. But she's also a pop star there and her new CD, Yol Bolsin (REALWORLD), is produced by ethno-techno composer Hector Zazou. On tour with Peter Gabriel, Sevara stopped by the Echoes living room with two musicians to play her music live and talk about her mixture of ancient traditions and modern music.

Friday 08/08/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH KAKI KING
Kaki King is a frighteningly virtuosic and independent guitar player from Brooklyn who is picking up the extended techniques of Preston Reed and Michael Hedges and finding her own, distinctive voice. Though only 23 years old and dwarfed by her guitar, she coaxes a dynamic range of sound from her instrument heard on her debut album, EVERYBODY LOVES YOU (Velour Records). Kaki enters the Echoes living room where she plays music from her album, a new song and talks about a music journey fm New York subways to concert stages.
