AN ECHOES SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION WITH LIVING ROOM CONCERTS
BY PAUL WINTER AND FRIENDS
When we recorded Paul Winter for our St. Patrick's Day concert
this year, he was actually playing music composed for his annual
Summer Solstice Celebration. So we'll be repeating this
performance as part of Echoes Summer Solstice Celebration. We'll
hear Paul Winter & Friends recorded in the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine in New York City playing music from Paul Winter's
latest album, Celtic Solstice (Windham Hill). Paul is joined by
Paul Halley on piano and pipe organ, fiddler Eileen Ivers,
uilleann piper Jerry O'Sullivan and Zan MacLeod on bouzouki.
We'll also hear new music from Windham Hill's Summer Solstice:
Sun Dancer CD.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM
Afro Celt Sound System is a swirl of Irish singing and studio
technology, African vocals and percussion and electronic grooves.
They've just come out with their second album, "Release"
(Realworld) that extends the ecstatic sound of their debut,
"Sound Magic". Irish singer Iarla O'Lionard, and Irish whistle
player James McNally plug us in to Afro Celt Sound System's sonic
designs in a live performance.

MICHAEL HEDGES: ONE OF TEN ARTISTS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES
If you're an electric guitarist, you have to confront the legacy
of Jimi Hendrix. Any trumpeter has to acknowledge Miles Davis and
every saxophonist must bow to Charlie Parker. In that same way,
every acoustic guitarist will have to confront the ground-
breaking style of Michael Hedges. Since his debut album,
"Breakfast in the Field" (Windham Hill) 18 years ago, Hedges has
transformed the idea of acoustic guitar with a range of
innovative techniques. But he's done more than that, wedding his
skills to evocative, impressionistic melodies and live
performances that were never short of exhilarating. Michael was
killed in a car accident in 1997, but his legacy lives on. We'll
hear it in a sound portrait of Michael Hedges, One of Ten Artists
for Ten Years of Echoes.
