CHRISTOPHER O'RILEY'S CLASSICAL ROCK PIANO Christopher O'Riley is a noted classical concert pianist as
well as the host of Public Radio International's FROM THE TOP
radio program. You'll usually hear him playing Scriabin and Mozart,
but on his new album, he plays the music of Radiohead, the critically
acclaimed English art rock group. O'Riley started playing this
music on piano during breaks on FROM THE TOP and wound up with
an album's worth of material now called TRUE LOVE WAITS: Christopher
O'Riley Plays the Music of Radio Head (Sony Classical). Christopher
talks about his obsession with Radiohead and transferring their
music to piano in what he calls the most difficult music he's
ever played.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MCGILL-MANRING-STEVENS Bay Area bassist Michael Manring is joined by two virtuosos
from 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.
