FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Monday 01/17/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JONATHAN ELIAS
Jonathan Elias caused a buzz a few years ago with his global hymn for peace, THE PRAYER CYCLE. While working on PRAYER CYCLE II, 9-11 and its aftermath happened and Elias took a break to look out across the American landscape instead of the global village. The result is a haunting tone poem called AMERICAN RIVER on which he orchestrates a landscape that's equal parts cosmic, country and Copland, searching for the lost soul of America. With a trio of violinist Charlie Bisharat and cellist Cameron Stone, Elias comes into the Echoes living room to play his often hallucinogenic Americana tone poems live.

Thursday 01/20/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH CLARA & JEAN-LUC PONTY
Jean-Luc Ponty is the legendary French jazz violinist. Pianist Clara Ponty is his daughter. The two recently recorded together for the first time on Clara Ponty's MIRROR OF TRUTH (JLP Productions). We gather them in the Echoes Living Room where they play the delicate, romantic, classic-tinged themes of Clara Ponty's music in a pair of duets and some Clara Ponty piano solos.

Friday 01/21/05
STEVE TIBBETTS & CHOYING DROLMA: TRANS-AMBIENT TIBET
Several years ago, Minneapolis-based guitar iconoclast Steve Tibbetts released a CD with a Tibetan nun named Choying Drolma. On CHO, he set her ancient Tibetan chants and hymns to his ambient sound designs. Bridging time and distance, Drolma and Tibbetts return with a new CD called SELWA (Six Degrees). Tibetan for "luminous," "clear" or "awake," Selwa perfectly describes the finely honed balance between Drolma's intoxicating, often folkloric songs and Tibbetts' abstracted ambiences. We get the nun and the guitarist together to talk about a meeting of worlds.
