FEATURES FOR THE WEEK Monday September 6, 1999 JON HASSELL'S RETURN TO SIMPLICITY Jon Hassell single-handedly created the techno tribal sound explored by everyone from Peter Gabriel to Steve Roach. In the past his music has been full of electronic processes and a collage like mosaic of electronic samples, creating what Hassell dubbed "Fourth World Music." On his latest CD, "Fascinoma" (Waterlily Acoustics), Hassell strips away the electronics for some organic improvisations with Ry Cooder, Jacky Terrasson and Indian flutist Ronu Majumdar. Jon Hassell talks about his new change of direction and reveals the secrets of his breathy, note bending trumpet sound. Tuesday September 7, 1999 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JOJI HIROTA Joji Hirota is the percussionist with Trisan, the Irish Asian group that creates an ethereal world fusion. On his own, Joji combines classical impressionism with Japanese folk songs and percussion landscapes heard on a new CD called "The Gate" (Realworld). We captured Joji in a living room concert creating a percussive atmosphere for taiko drums, bells, chimes and singing bowls and solo music for shakuhachi. Thursday September 9, 1999 SAMITE'S AFRICAN AFFIRMATIONS Samite is a Ugandan refugee who's been living in the U.S. for over a decade. But his music has always been born of Uganda with a serene voice, haunting melodies and instruments like the kalimba. Samite talks about his return to Africa after ten years of exile and the music it spawned on a new CD called "Stars to Share (Windham Hill). Friday September 10, 1999 TEN TRENDS FOR TEN YEARS OF ECHOES: NATIVE AMERICA CALLING Until a few years ago, the sounds of Native America were relegated to Pow-wow chants and kitsch versions of the tribal drum beat. R. Carlos Nakai changed all that, first bringing the native flute into the modern world, then collaborating with musicians of all-stripes to create an organic native fusion. We'll explore the results of that fusion with Nakai, Douglas Spotted Eagle, Jim Wilson, and others. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID# 99-J07-00177 Monday, September 6, 1999 (Echoes Program 29D) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Helen O'Hara Love & Respect Southern Hearts Uman That's Where the You Are Here Heart Beats Magical Strings Bell off the Ledge Bell off the Ledge Kamal Spirit Gathering Shamanic Healing Davy Spillane Darklight A Place among the Stones Second Half Hour FEATURE: JOHN HASSELL'S RETURN TO SIMPLICITY Jon Hassell Caravanesque Fascinoma Mary McLaughlin Silhouettes Daughter of Lir R.
