THIS WEEK: THE BEST OF THE ECHOES LIVING
ROOM CONCERTS
All week, we take a look back at some of our favorite
live performances from the past year.
Monday August 23, 1999
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MONK
Monk is guitarist Ric Hordinski who weaves earthy dobro melodies
through electronic effects and global rhythms. His instrumental
album, Hush (Ether), is a gritty, intentionally coarse sounding
ambient affair that made the 25 Essential Echoes CDs of 1998. In
concert, Monk gets a different sound with Indian tablas and
middle eastern percussion. We'll hear Monk in a performance
recorded at Echoes affiliate WVXU.
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ARYEH FRANKFURTER
Aryeh Frankfurter doesn't often perform in his living room. He's
usually found at places like San Francisco's Ghiradelli Square
performing for tourists. But we caught Aryeh at home, where he
took out his Celtic harp and plucked the melodies of his latest
album, Harp Songs of the Midnight Sun (LionHarp), playing songs
from Ireland and Scandinavia.
Tuesday August 24, 1999
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SECRET GARDEN
Secret Garden creates an elaborate and lush sound full of
orchestral strings, stacked synthesizers and dynamic rhythms. But
in this living room concert we get to hear where it all begins,
just the core sound of Secret Garden with violinist Fionnuala
Sherry and keyboardist Rolf Lovland. We'll hear them in an
intimate performance, playing music from their three albums
including their latest, "Dawn of a New Century" (Philips).
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE LOS ANGELES GUITAR QUARTET
The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet sit in the Echoes Living Room,
attach staples and alligator clips to their acoustic guitars and
play music form their latest CD, L.A.G.Q. Although their
techniques sound avant-garde, their music is wonderfully lyrical,
drawing from African, Balinese and South American traditions.
They play it all in an Echoes Living Room Concert.
Wednesday August 25, 1999
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JOHN RENBOURN
John Renbourn is a legend in Celtic music and guitar picking
circles. He co-founded the English folk-fusion group, Pentangle,
and helped revitalize the English folk music scene in the 1960s.
John Renbourn is still at it with a recent album called
"Traveler's Prayer" (Shanachie). Renbourn pulls up a couch in the
Echoes Living Room to play some music and regale us with tales.
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DAVID MICHAEL AND RANDY MEAD
Sitting on a hill overlooking the ferry arriving into Port
Townsend, Washington, we sit in on a living room concert with
David Michael and Randy Mead. Mixing Celtic harp, Flutes and pan-
pipes, Michael and Mead weave the melodies off their latest
album, Courtship of the Moon (Purnima) in a live performance.
Thursday August 26, 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) which 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.
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SPACECRAFT
Strap yourself in, close your eyes and take off in a virtual
planetarium as we hear a living room concert from Spacecraft.
This trio of synthesizers, guitar and voice, disembarks in the
Echoes living room and sets the skies rolling with their retro-
space music sound. We'll hear them play music from their second
CD, Hummel (Lektronic Soundscapes) as well as new music.
Friday August 27, 1999
AN ECHOES LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SPOOL
Spool is the music of dark nights, rain swept streets and one
last drink before closing. A quartet based in San Francisco and
Chicago, they weave chill-out improvisations between ambient
music and jazz, Pink Floyd and Bill Evans. We ventured into an
industrial loft to capture Spool in an ambient living room
concert with music from their self-titled debut (New Dog
Records)and some brand new music.
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BILLY MCLAUGHLIN
When Billy McLaughlin plays his guitar, he dances with his eyes
closed as his fingers tap out pirouettes on his fretboard. You
won't be able to see that, but you can imagine it when Billy
McLaughlin comes to the Echoes living room to play live. He'll
tear through music from his latest album, "Out of Hand" (Narada)
as well as some earlier releases.
