FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 12/09/03
CD OF THE MONTH: A WINDHAM HILL CHRISTMAS 2
Each December, we pick a seasonal CD that will alleviate the drone of shopping mall Christmas tunes. This year, we've taken an album that has a lot of those tunes, but with a decidedly different approach. A Windham Hill Christmas takes label Hill stalwarts past and present like George Winston, Will Ackerman, Liz Story, and Paul McCandless, and sets them on holiday favorites with lyrical results.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SAMITE
Samite is a Ugandan refugee who's been living in the U.S. for over a decade. But his music has always been born of Uganda, with a serene voice, haunting melodies and instruments like the kalimba. The past two years have been tragic for the musician who watched his wife, Joan, die from a brain tumor. He wrote much of the music on his new CD, TUNULA ENO (Triloka) while nursing her. Samite comes into the Echoes living room with guitarist David Cullen to sing some of his new songs.

KEVIN BARTLETT: FROM LIQUID LIGHTS TO LIQUID MUSIC
We know Kevin Bartlett best as the tone bending guitarist with singer-songwriter Happy Rhodes, but Kevin was creating ambient sound designs and electro-orchestrations long before that. And if you haven't heard his work, you might have seen it when he was painting liquid light shows for The Who, Janis Joplin and Jeff Beck in the 1960s and early 70s. Kevin Bartlett has just released an imposing CD called NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE (Aural Gratification Records) that paints in a world between progressive rock, modern electronica and orchestral music. For Kevin Bartlett, it was a spiritual journey and he takes us on the trip when he talks about it.
