ECHOES PLAYLIST

For the Week of April 24, 2000

The following playlist is for one (1) week of ECHOES programming (5 days, 2 hours per day). Your local station may run only certain segments or one day of programming from this week's list especially if you hear Echoes on a weekend. Your station may also reverse the hours of Echoes, so that half hours 3&4 become 1&2.

We are pleased to offer many of the recordings you hear on ECHOES through our ECHODISC catalog. Following the playlist you'll find pricing of recordings from the catalog. If an album is not listed with a price that means it is not available through ECHODISC. You'll find ordering information at the end of this playlist. If you'd like to receive our free ECHODISC catalog, you can call 800-321-ECHO or e-mail us at: echoes@echoes.org. If you want a catalog, be sure to give us your postal address. You can also find the catalog and Echoes information on this site.

                     FEATURES FOR THE WEEK



                     Monday April 24, 2000

              AN ANCIENT ECHO WITH OSAMU KITAJIMA

We excavate music from 1987 by Japanese synthesist and

traditional string player Osamu Kitajima.  A pioneer of world

fusion going back to his album early 1970s album, BENZAITEN,

Osamu is an often unacknowledged pioneer of world fusion with

roots directly at the source.  We'll feature music from his out

of print album, PASSAGES. 



                    Wednesday April 26, 2000

          A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RYUICHI SAKAMOTO

Japanese composer and keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto sit's in The

Echoes Living Room for an unusually intimate performance on solo

piano.  Sakamoto came to renown in the 1970s as part of the

synthesizer band, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and released a series

of acclaimed solo albums in the 1980s.  His movie scores include

"The Last Emperor" and "High Heels."  The enigmatic composer has

two new discs.  One is CINEMAGE, (Sony Classical) orchestral

renderings of his film scores. The other is BTTB (Sony

Classical), or BACK TO THE BASICS.  It's a solo piano album, that

includes a song that started out as a commercial jingle and wound

up number one in Japan.  Ryuichi plays that song, music form his

film scores, and more in a delicate and personal performance. 

                                

                    Thursday April 27, 2000

                     LAGQ: PULLING STRINGS

LAGQ are the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, a group that started out

performing classical repertoire, but who find themselves at a

crossroads between modern and classical music worlds.  On their

new CD, AIR & GROUND, they play music from the Penguin Caf‚

Orchestra and turn their guitars into rhythm instruments from

Cuba to India.  The four members of LAGQ take us between the

strings of their new music.

                                

                     Friday April 28, 2000

           A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH WILLIAM WATSON

William Watson is a pianist who grew up in Mississippi, steeped

in gospel music as well as the classics.  William lives in San

Francisco now and he's turned those roots into his own music on a

pair of CDs, FIELDS and BURNHAM WOODS (Burnham Woods Records).  

In San Francisco, William sits down at the piano and plays some

new songs and old favorites in a live performance.
