FEATURES FOR THE WEEK Monday, June 21, 1999 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. Wednesday, June 23, 1999 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. Thursday, June 24, 1999 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. Friday, June 25, 1999 THE PRAYER CYCLE We talk to Jonathan Elias, composer of "The Prayer Cycle." Elias talks about the motivation behind his world music lament which features Ofra Haza, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Alanis Morissette. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID# 99-J07-00122 Monday, June 21, 1999 (Echoes Program 26A) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour George Winston Hummingbird Summer Tingstad & Rumbel Secrets of the Big American Acoustic Sky Will Ackerman Pontchartrain Sound of Wind Driven Rain Richard Burmer Walking Summer to Shining by the River Sleep Mike Oldfield The Song of the Sun Voyager Antonio Vivaldi Summer/Presto The Four Seasons Second Half Hour AN ECHOES SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION WITH LIVING ROOM CONCERTS BY PAUL WINTER AND FRIENDS Paul Winter Dawnwalker Celtic Solstice Paul Winter After the Fleadh Celtic Solstice Eileen Ivers Dear Irish Boy Crossing the Bridge Paul Winter My Fair and Celtic Solstice Faithful Love/ Blarney Pilgrim Third Half Hour Thea Suits- Callisto's Sky Summer Solstice III* Silverman & Tracy Silverman Keola Beamer Blue Water Dolphin Kolonahe William Eaton Ascending Cloud Where Rivers Meet Mountain Robert Carty Sungreeting Sky Hearts Steven Cragg Summerstreams Discovery Fourth Half Hour Paul Adams Sunrise from a A View from the Plain Pixelated Valley Happy Rhodes Summer The Keep Michael Hedges Dream Beach Torched Afro Celt Sound Amber Volume II--Release System David Arkenstone Reflections on the Summer Solstice III* Pond Ottmar Liebert Desert Elysium Innamorare - Summer Flamenco ****************************************** WANT TO ADD ANY OF THESE CDS TO YOUR COLLECTION?
