FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 08/23/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH LANTERNA
Lanterna is Henry Frayne, a guitarist from Champaign, Illinois who creates an evocative, haunting sound based in the twang of surf guitar fed through delays and reverb. His album, HIGHWAYS (Bad Man) was Echoes CD of the Month for March. Henry Frayne visits Echoes, where he plugs in his guitar and creates ambient renditions of an Americana of the imagination.

Wednesday 08/25/04
JEFF OSTER: GABRIEL'S ECHOES
By day, Alameda-based trumpeter Jeff Oster works in stocks. By night he works in a funk band and in the ambient glimmer of the morning he makes ambient based, pastoral tone poems. Oster is one of the few trumpeters working in ambient terrain and he got people like Windham Hill founder and guitarist Will Ackerman to produce and artists like Philip Aaberg, Michael Manring and Happy Rhodes to perform on his solo debut EP At Last (Retso Records). We hear Oster talk about getting down, trading up and chilling out.

Thursday 08/26/04
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.

Friday 08/27/04
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.
