ECHOES FEBRUARY CD OF THE MONTH
INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT II: BRIAN GORE, MIGUEL DE LA BASTIDE,
CLIVE CARROLL AND D'GARY
It's a finger-style fantasy for February when we explore International Guitar Night II. San Francisco guitarist Brian Gore gathers Canadian flamenco player Miguel De La Bastide, English finger-style picker Clive Carroll and the afro-centric Madagascan, D'Gary together on the same stage where they give a master class in finger-style techniques. Recorded live, the musicians engage in solos, duos, trios and quartets, reviving the the idea of the virtuoso guitar ensemble. We'll hear them as Echoes February CD of the Month

DAVID ARKENSTONE'S SECRET SOURCES
Symphonically inclined modern instrumentalist hears visions of his past
David Arkenstone is a noted multi-instrumentalist with dozens of albums out on Narada and Windham Hill Records that explore a symphonic style of music with fantasy imagery. His latest album is Myths and Legends. In his southern California home, we put him under the Echoes headphones to hear music that formed his sound, from progressive rock to Celtic music and beyond.

LOSAR: A TIBETAN CELEBRATION
It's 2008 in the U.S., but it's 2134 in Tibet
The Tibetan New Year is a multi-day celebration and we'll jump in the middle with a Himalayan soundscape. We journey to the mountain with music from Nawang Khechog, Choying Drolma, David Parsons and more in an atmosphere where the air is thin and the spirit high.
