FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 11/25/02
GEORGE WINSTON & RAY MANZAREK: OPENING DOORS
Pianist George Winston and Doors co-founder and keyboardist Ray Manzarek talk about turning music of the The Doors into piano music. Look at the liner notes for the recent 20th Anniversary edition of AUTUMN and you'll note George Winston's citations of The Doors as a seminal influence not only on his music but specific compositions. He's now recorded a CD of Doors compositions called THE NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY: THE MUSIC OF THE DOORS. We gather Winston and The Doors Ray Manzarek together to talk about this musical transformation.

Wednesday 11/27/02
LIBERA-CHOIR OF HEAVEN
In a church in South London, we meet a choir that sings Christian hymns by day, and modern choral music by night. Robert Prizeman is the director of the boys choir called Libera. Under his guidance, they've been recording evocative hymns nd chants, most composed and arranged by Prizeman. Prizeman talks about his young charges and the angelic music they create.

Thursday 11/28/02
AN ECHOES THANKSGIVING WITH
LIVING ROOM CONCERTS FROM
Nicholas Gunn
David Cullen & Jill Haley

Celebrate Thanksgiving this year with Living Room Concerts of landscape music from Nicholas Gunn and intimate duos with David Cullen & Jill Haley. It's all on an Echoes Thanksgiving.
Nicholas Gunn is an acclaimed flute player, noted for his musical tone poems to national landmarks including the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains and the Smokey Mountains. That leads to albums with titles like AFTERNOON IN SEDONA, THE GREAT SOUTH WEST, and THROUGH THE GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAINS (Gemini Sun). Gunn mixes his flute with exotic hand percussion and synthesizers in dramatic odes to the wonders of nature.
Then we make room at the Echoes Thanksgiving table for guitarist David Cullen and oboist Jill Haley. Hailing from Reading, PA, David plays on the very first track of Windham Hill Records very first Guitar Sampler recording. Among his solo albums is BLUE INDIGO (Solid Air). He also appears on Windham Hill's 25 YEARS OF GUITAR collection. Jill Haley has also recorded on Windham Hill records with label founder and guitarist Will Ackerman. She's best known as a charter member of the Philadelphia-area acoustic fusion trio, One Alternative. Jill and David are husband and wife with extensive recording careers between them, but they've never recorded together until this year with their CD, EXPLODING COLORS (Solid Air). We'll hear them live on An Echoes Thanksgiving, Living Room Concerts for Thanksgiving.

Friday 11/29/02
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE
Acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma plays live in the Echoes living room with his international Silk Road Ensemble. Drawing musicians and composers from Iran, China, Mongolia and points beyond, Yo-Yo Ma has created a global chamber orchestra, re-inventing compositions from the Renaissance and creating new works for the 21st century. Ma gathers his 10 piece ensemble in the Echoes living room, with neys, pipas, erhus, frame drums and violin surrounding his cello. They perform music from their album, SILK ROAD JOURNEYS and several new works.
