Echoes remembers. 2020 has been a tough year and along the way, we lost many artists from the world of Echoes. We lament their loss and celebrate their music on Echoes In Memoriam.
We’ll hear the latest recording by French guitarist Pierre Bensusan. He came up during the days of Windham Hill guitarists like Michael Hedges, who named a song after him. His latest album is Azwan.
