World Fusion & Chamber Pop in Echoes Top 25

Coyote Jump Leads Echoes Top 25 for May The Echoes Top 25 for May is an interesting mix of old and new.   A lot of old favorites like  Thomas Newman, Jef Stott, Clara Ponty, David Michael, Niyaz,  and Carl Weingarten return.  And world fusion seems to have made a return led by Coyote Jump’s CD…

Coyote Jump-Global Native Chamber Music.

Hear Coyote Jump interviewed tonight on Echoes (8/9/2012) Coyote Jump’s debut album, Waking from the Roots, is slightly deceiving.

However, the first notes of a Middle Eastern frame drum and buzz stick…

Stellar Space and Western Space in Echoes Top 25.

Thierry David’s Stellar Connection Leads Echoes Top 25 for April. But right behind it is Eric Tingstad’s Badlands, his second foray into ambient Americana.  That’s the kind of contrast you’ll find in the Echoes Top 25 for April, which this month includes a collaboration in cathedral reverb between Eraldo Bernocchi, Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd;…

A Song for Echoes

A lot of people have recorded albums and songs called Echoes, and I sometimes thank them for naming their recording after the show.  That actually hasn’t been their intent, except for Tim Farrell’s “Four Echoes” (from his album, Skydancer) an inside joke when I told him that any untitled song played live on the show…
