FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 02/17/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH GEORGE WINSTON & RAY MANZAREK
Echoes is proud to present the very first performance of George Winston and Ray Manzarek together. George Winston, an icon of solo piano music and Ray Manzarek, a founding member of 60s rock icons The Doors, call up melodies from 35 years ago. George Winston has always claimed The Doors as a major influence and he recently recorded an album of their music called NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY: THE MUSIC OF THE DOORS (Windham Hill). In this rare performance, George Winston and Ray Manzarek sit at a pair of grand pianos and play music from the album in their first-ever performance togther.

Wednesday 02/19/03
NIGEL SHAW'S CALL OF THE MOORS
Nigel Shaw is little known in the United States, but he's released dozens of albums in England. We interviewed him on Echoes in 1991 and caught up with him again this past summer. Nigel plays music that ranges from New Age meditations to techno dance grooves. We visit him on his farm in Dartmoor Forest where we explore his recreation of an Iron Age roundhouse and hear his latest ethno-techno derivations.

ECHOES AT THE GRAMMIES
The Grammy Awards generally aren't the place you'll find music on the edges of sound, but every year we discover hidden gems from the Echoes soundscape lodged in the nominees. Besides the obvious New Age category, which this year includes Kitaro, R. Carlos Nakai, Tingstad & Rumbel and Will Ackerman, we'll hear music drawn from the World Music, Film Soundtracks and Classical categories. Echoes host John Diliberto will pick his favorites and likely winners. It's on Echoes at the Grammies.

Friday 02/21/03
CARTER BURWELL-DEEP INSIDE THE UNDERSCORE
Carter Burwell, film composer of Adaptation and films by the Coen Brothers, is part of a new generation of soundtrack artists that includes Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and Reinhold Heil & Johnny Klimek. These composers are as likely to use electric guitar as a string section and you'll find them banging on Balinese gongs as much as timpani. Carter Burwell has been slowly rising through the film ranks since he composed the score to Joel and Ethan Coens' film, Blood Simple. Since then, he's scored all their movies as well as THE ROOKIE, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, CONSPIRACY THEORY and WAYNE'S WORLD II. His score for Spike Jonze's ADAPTATION is an unusual merging of orchestra with ambient atmospheres and Balinese gamelan. Burwell talks about the psychological underscore of soundtrack composing.
