FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

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.

PEPPINO D'AGOSTINO & STEF BURNS: FINGERSTYLE VS THE FRET BURNER
Echoes listeners know Peppino D'Agostino for his sensitive finger-style guitar playing and compositions. You've probably heard Stef Burns without knowing it. He's an electric guitar slinger who's recorded with Y&T, Alice Cooper and currently tours with Huey Lewis & the News. These two neighbors in San Francisco's East Bay suburbs have made a CD that strikes a balance between sensitive interplay and furious virtuosity. It's called BAYSHORE ROAD (Favored Nations Acoustic) and places Burns electric on D'Agostino's finger-style trellis. The two musicians talk about their collaboration.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH TOMMY EMMANUEL
Tommy Emmanuel hails from Australia, but he's steeped in the traditions of American folk and country music. He's been playing professionally since he was seven years old, touring Australia in a family band. After years working in ensembles and playing sessions, he's been going it solo, plying a virtuoso display of finger-style guitar. His latest album is ENDLESS ROAD (Favored Nations Acoustic). Tommy Emmanuel comes to the Echoes living room to play live.

Friday 06/03/05
JORANE-CELLO SONGS
There aren't too many singer-songwriters whose main instrument is the cello. Jorane is a Canadian musician with several albums released north of the border, but she's just put out her first U.S. recording, THE YOU AND THE NOW (Six Degrees), a haunting disc of luminous cello driven songs and Jorane's darkly insinuating, hymn-like vocals. Jorane talks about her music.
