ECHOES SEPTEMBER CD OF THE MONTH
JEFF OSTER: TRUE
It's been exactly 2 years since Jeff Oster's debut CD, Release. That album was an Echoes CD of the month and he repeats this month with his sophomore CD, True. Oster builds on the ambient fluegelhorn soundscapes and introspective grooves with impeccable production from Windham Hill Records founder, Will Ackerman. Ackerman plays on the disc along with Michael Manring, Philip Aaberg, Eugene Friesen and Samite. Jeff Oster rings True as Echoes September CD of the Month.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BODHI
A shamanic flute player communes in his home
On the next Echoes, it's a living room concert for flute, electronica and global grooves when we hear Bodhi playing live. Bodhi usually plays long solo flute works that he calls Shamanic flute, but on his latest album, Trans-Ukraine, he goes up-tempo for some down-tempo grooves. We go trans-California to hear Bodhi playing live with a band in his San Rafael home.
