FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Monday 03/21/05
AN ECHOES VERNAL EQUINOX
Celebrate the turning of the season with an Echoes soundscape of ambient designs and acoustic textures drawn from nature as crickets, birds, wind and ocean are drawn into a sonnet of music to praise the world around us.

Tuesday 03/22/05
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH IRARI
Irari is Kazakstan-born singer Irina Mikhailova and pianist Ira Stein. Together, they're taking Balkan and Russian folk songs and turning them into haunting, soul-baring chamber jazz art songs. We gather in Ira's Oakland, California living room where he, Irina, percussionist Geoffrey Gordon and saxophonist Dan Zinn unfold the captivating melodies of their CD, ESQUISSE.

Wednesday 03/23/05
WINDHAM HILL'S CINEMA: RE-SCORING MOVIES
There are hours upon hours of scores churned out for motion pictures. Most are forgettable. The ones that aren't are usually bled to death for years. On CINEMA, Windham Hill Records gathers their stable of artists to render personal takes on cinematic themes old and new, obscure and popular. Among the interpretations of works by John Williams, Ennio Morricone and Yann Tiersen are performances by pianists George Winston and Liz Story, violinist Tracy Silverman and guitarist Alex De Grassi. We talk with CINEMA producer, Dawn Atkinson and some of the musicians about their cinematic exploits.

Thursday 03/24/05
JAMI SIEBER'S ELEPHANT DREAMS
Dr. Dolittle talks with the animals, but Jami Sieber plays music with the elephants. The cellist recorded a CD with the Thai Elephant Orchestra called HIDDEN SKY and it doesn't sound like a bunch of elephants stomping around. Jami Sieber wove intimate musical conversations with the elephants and created her own ambient chamber music evocation of her Thai elephant experience. Jami Sieber tells her enchanting story on Echoes.
