INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 05/21
AN INTERVIEW WITH DINO SALUZZI & ANJA LECHNER: BANDONEON BEYOND TANGO
When Astor Piazzolla died in 1992, Dino Saluzzi quietly assumed the mantle of the world's leading bandoneon player. But it's not tango music as much as tango shadows, as Saluzzi plays an intuitive music with a wide array of collaborators. His latest album pairs him with the gifted German cellist, Anja Lechner from the Rosamunde Quartet. Together they talk about the melding of classical sensibilities, tango touchstones and intuitive improvisation that takes place on their CD, Ojos Negros.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GLENN JONES: A 12-STRING MUTANT
A John Fahey disciple travels from progressive rock to free-folk
Glenn Jones is best known as the guitarist with the Boston avant-rock group, Cul De Sac. But he's also a disciple of acoustic guitar legend, John Fahey. He befriended the influential guitarist and even recorded an album with him. Jones was plugged in then, but now he's unplugged, exploring the kind of evocative acoustic guitar music that Fahey pioneered. We talk with Glenn Jones about the joy of acoustic strings, and his love of all music progressive.
