Back in the fall of 1998, we recorded Rob in a weekend of Living Room Concerts at WVXU in Cincinnati. All of those concerts have been broadcast but we were holding Rob Eberhard Young's performance to coincide with the release of his already overdue CD, "Speak." In the interim, his record label got stomped in a corporate merger, and Rob was sent into limbo, as was his performance. But it was too good not to air, and good music is never too late. We'll revisit this lost performance by Rob Eberhard Young, including a surprise duet with guitarist Steve Erquiaga. AND A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH WILLIAM WATSON William Watson is a pianist who grew up in Mississippi, steeped in gospel music as well as the classics. William lives in San Francisco now and he's turned those roots into his own music on a pair of CDs, FIELDS and BURNHAM WOODS (Burnham Woods Records). In San Francisco, William sits down at the piano and plays some new songs and old favorites in a live performance. A selection from this performance will appear on THE ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERTS Vol. 6 CD. Tuesday August 29, 2000 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DAVID DARLING AND KETIL BJORNSTAD David Darling is the renowned cellist who played with the Paul Winter Consort for years before striking out on his own with several recordings on the ECM label. Ketil Bjornstad is a Norwegian pianist with dozens of recordings. These musicians get together in the Echoes Living Room to explore slow motion largos and dusky improvisations, drawing from their latest album of duets, EPIGRAPHS (ECM). AND A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MICHAEL MANDRELL Michael Mandrell is a journeyman musician. He played with the world fusion group, TAOS, and released a solo CD called THE GREAT SPIRAL DANCE (Ageless Music). Michael fuses gentle guitar picking with world music touches and evocative compositions on his debut. This past spring, Michael sat down in the Echoes living room for a solo performance. A selection from this performance will appear on THE ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERTS Vol. 6 CD. Wednesday August 30, 2000 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH LAGQ Early this summer, LAGQ returned to the Echoes Living Room for more new music for four guitars. The quartet picks their way through music off their latest CD, AIR & GROUND (Sony Classical), including the title piece, and The Penguin Caf Orchestras' "Music for A Found Harmonium." AND A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH IAN BODDY On a hot, sultry summer day, British synthesist Ian Boddy plugged in for a live electronic spacescape, sculpted in the Echoes living room. While many musicians are unplugging, extolling the virtues of acoustic instruments, natural sounds and rootsy playing, Ian Boddy is resolutely wired. This legendary synthesist has been a major influence on the British electronic music scene and his albums span lush orchestral synthesis and classic space music ambiences. His latest CD is CAGED (DiN). A selection from this performance will appear on THE ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERTS Vol. 6 CD. Thursday August 31, 2000 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RYUICHI SAKAMOTO In the late spring, Japanese composer and keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto sat in The Echoes Living Room for an unusually intimate performance on solo piano. Sakamoto came to renown in the 1970s as part of the synthesizer band, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and released a series of acclaimed solo albums in the 1980s. His movie scores include "The Last Emperor" and "High Heels." The enigmatic composer has two recent discs. One is CINEMAGE, orchestral renderings of his film scores; the other is BTTB (Sony Classical), or BACK TO THE BASICS. Ryuichi performs music from thiese and other recordings, in a delicate and personal performance. AND A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ALAN STIVELL This summer, Celtic legend Alan Stivell came to the Echoes Living Room. The Breton harpist influenced an entire generation and single-handedly launched the Celtic harp revival with his early 1970's album, RENAISSANCE OF THE CELTIC HARP. We hear Alan giving a rare performance on a classical concert harp, playing traditional music and original compositions that come from his CELTIC SYMPHONY album and his latest CD, BACK TO BREIZH (Dreyfuss). Friday September 1, 2000 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH EDGAR MEYER & JOSHUA BELL w/Sam Bush and Mike Marshall We originally ran this as part of our Living Room Concerts for Thanksgiving show in 1999. Edgar Meyer is a classically trained and bluegrass bent bass player. Joshua Bell is a classical violin virtuoso. They're joined by bluegrass mandolinist SAM BUSH and guitarist/mandolinist MIKE MARSHALL for a set of original chamber folk songs drawn from their recent Sony Classical album, SHORT TRIP HOME. AND A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH RASA In their storefront home in Marin County, Rasa takes us into the ecstatic world of vedic hymns. Mixing cello, sarangi, and nykelharpe, with global percussion, Hans Christian creates a landscape for the serene voice of Kim Waters to intone chants from their debut album DEVOTION (Hearts of Space). A selection from this performance will appear on THE ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERTS Vol. 6 CD. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID#00-J07-00171 Monday August 28, 2000 (Echoes Program 5J/17J) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING Monday August 28, 2000 First Half Hour Spool 3 Spool Suzanne Teng China Lily Mystic Journey Christina Tourin Star of the County The Emerald Harp Down Juan Martin In the Sultan's The Alchemist Palace Sheila Chandra Quiet 8 Quiet Second Half Hour A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ROB EBERHARD YOUNG Artist composition Original CD Rob Eberhard Trance Dance Sticks & Stones Young Rob Eberhard One Unreleased Young Rob Eberhard Mr. Possum Sticks & Stones Young Rob Eberhard Untitled Unreleased Young Third Half Hour William Watson Flight of the Burnham Woods Celtic Earls Marco Carletti Setting the Sails Random and Providence Christina Tourin Star of County Down The Emerald Harp Rasa Bhajahu Re Mana Devotion Bruce Becvar Steady Motion Forever Blue Sky Fourth Half Hour A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH WILLIAM WATSON Artist composition Original CD William Watson Garden of Zen Burnham Woods William Watson Autumn's Last Canoe Fields William Watson Dogon Moon Fields William Watson Gleda Fields *************************************************************** ID#00-J07-00172 Tuesday, August 29, 2000 (Echoes Program 23H/15H) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Ketil Bjornstad & Factus Est Repente Epigraphs David Darling California Guitar Waters of Eden Rocks the West Trio Vas Prayer for Soheil In the Garden of Souls Herman Delago Aquasonic Brass Trancealpin Fantasy Jon Brion So Now Then Magnoila SDTK Second Half Hour A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DAVID DARLING AND KETIL BJORNSTAD Third Half Hour Michael Mandrell Iberian Nocturne The Great Spiral Dance Erik Wollo Solstice I Solstice Dave Stringer Brink Brink Annbjorg Lien W Baba Yaga Michael Danna & Summerland The Best of Danna and Tim Clement Clement Fourth Half Hour A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MICHAEL MANDRELL Artist composition Original CD Michael Mandrell Bagavan Dude The Great Spiral Dance Michael Mandrell Ambrosius The Great Spiral Dance Michael Mandrell Ancient Art of Soul The Great Spiral Dance Travel Michael Mandrell Snowdonia Unreleased Following the performance: Michael Mandrell The Great Spiral The Great Spiral Dance Dance ***************************************************************** ID#00-J07-00173 Wednesday, August 30, 2000 (Echoes Program 21J/24G) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour LAGQ Along the Edge Air and Ground Dave Patrick Andrew's Last Words Light through the Trees Nightnoise Savvic Island Shadow of Time Chinese Baroque Four Seasons: Vivaldi Four Seasons Players Summer: Allegro non Molto Kitaro Fiesta Thinking of You Second Half Hour A Living Room Concert with LAGQ Artist composition Original CD LAGQ Lotus Eaters Air and Ground LAGQ Air and Ground Air and Ground LAGQ Celtic Faire Air and Ground LAGQ Cumba-Quin Air and Ground Third Half Hour Samite Night Stories Stars to Share Ruben Garcia Eyes Wander Lakeland Rick Westhorpe Island Heart Music from Holy Vale David Darling Irish Miles Balance Fourth Half Hour A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH IAN BODDY Artist composition Original CD Ian Boddy A Joining of Unreleased 2 Scenes Ian Boddy Transmission Delta Unreleased ************************************************************ ID#00-J07-00174 Thursday August 31, 2000 (Echoes Program 17H/25J) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Ryuichi Sakamoto Merry Christmas Piano One* Mr. Lawrence Jeff Pearce Veil of Lake Snow To the Shores of Heaven Rasa Ganesha Sharanam Devotion Michael Hedges Oracle The Best of...
