FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Wednesday 03/03/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH PETER KATER
Southern California based pianist and composer Peter Kater comes into the Echoes Living Room to play a set of solo piano live. We know Peter Kater from his many collaborations with Native flute player R. Carlos Nakai, ensemble recordings that range from neo-primitive to neo-chamber, and solo albums that explore his wide-ranging piano skills. Last year's RED MOON was a Grammy nominee and an Echoes CD of the Month. Peter Kater's first recording was a solo piano CD and his latest album picks up the solo thread. It's aptly called PIANO (Point of Light Records) and draws on compositions from across Kater's career. In a living room in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Peter Kater plays some of that music live on Echoes.

ECHOES MARCH CD OF THE MONTH
LANTERNA: "HIGHWAYS"
Lanterna is guitarist Henry Frayne, a musician who's on the leading edge of Ambient Americana music. Based in Champaign, Illinois, Frayne has been recording as Lanterna since the mid-1990s. Before that he was a member of the ethereal rock groups Area and Moon Seven Times. As Lanterna, Frayne articulates an open-air, country-tinged sound that recalls Ry Cooder's Paris, Texas soundtrack but with a more electronica and ambient edge. His latest CD, HIGHWAYS, released on the Badman label, is a perfect soundtrack for a journey heading west into the sun.

Friday 03/05/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AL JEWER & ANDY MITRAN
Hailing from Chicago, Al Jewer and Andy Mitran make a music born of the western plains and transmuted through synthesized textures and global rhythms. Al Jewer is a specialist in Native American flute while Andy Mitran handles synthesizers and percussion in the evocative music of their new CD, TWO TREES (Laughing Cat Records). These two musicians fill up the Echoes Living room with more gear than some 8 piece ensembles who've played on the show. We'll hear the haunting melodies of their music revealed live.
