FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 05/19/03
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MCGILL-MANRING-STEVENS
Bay Area bassist Michael Manring is joined by two virtuosos form the Philadelphia area, guitarist Scott McGill and drummer Vic Stevens. Recently, they released their second CD as the trio, McGill-Manring-Stevens. It's called CONTROLLED BY RADAR (Free Electric Sound). A double CD, one disc is electric and the other disc is acoustic. In a live Echoes performance the trio brings their semi-acoustic side with McGill on acoustic guitar, Stevens on drums and Manring on fretless electric bass. It's an exhilarating performance from three virtuosos.

Wednesday 05/14/03
RETURN TO TWANGQUILITY

We'll be hearing country twang in ambient terrain with pedal steel guitars and slide dobros resonating in space. It's new atmospheric music with a decidedly country tinge, including new music from Daniel Lanois [LAN-wah} and Ed Bilous's [BIL-lows] score to FRONTIER HOUSE. It's a Return to Twangquility, from Twangquility Base at Echoes.

Friday 05/23/03
DAVID & STEVE GORDON: SOUNDING THE RITUAL CHANT
In the second of two features, brothers David & Steve Gordon talk about extending their tribal drum sound into global chants and electronica grooves. Best know for their drumming CDs like SACRED SPIRIT DRUMS and DRUM MEDICINE (Sequoia), the brothers have split into new areas of music. Steve Gordon released his solo debut, DRUM PRAYER (Sequoia), which, despite the title is about voice as much as rhythm. He creates original chants using words in Sanskrit and Lakota. David Gordon, meanwhile, has produced an album by the singer, Sophia, called CHAKRA HEALING CHANTS (Sequoia) which fuses Sanskrit and Hebrew words. We visit each of their studios where they unfold their new direction.
