FEATURES FOR THE WEEK Monday September 27, 1999 CLARA PONTY'S EMBRACE On her second CD, "The Embrace," (Philips) pianist Clara Ponty brings in world music percussion and ambient atmospheres to surround her serene, often romantic piano melodies. In her Manhattan home, Clara talks about her new music and works out a piece with percussionist Mino Cinelu. Wednesday September 29, 1999 A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH GARY STROUTSOS Gary Stroutsos isn't a Native American, but he may be the most gifted virtouso of the Native American flute. His latest album is "People of the Willows" (Makoche) featuring arrangements of songs from the Mandan and Hidatsa tribes. In Seattle, where Gary lives, we captured him with his ensemble of Jose Santos Neto on piano and percussionist Epaminondas Trimis weaving delicate Native melodies into a global landscape. Thursday September 30, 1999 AN ECHOES FEATURE: 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). Friday October 1, 1999 EDGAR MEYER & JOSHUA BELL: CLASSICAL BLUEGRASS Take one classically trained and bluegrass bent bass player, mix with one classical violin virtuoso and add in a mandolin wizard and string eclectic and you have a pretty interesting sonic combustion taking place. That's what happens on Short Trip Home (Sony Classical) when Edgar Meyer, Joshua Bell, Sam Bush and Mike Marshall get together for some original bluegrass chamber music. We talk with all four about their musical marriage. ***************************************************************** *denotes compilation ID# 99-J07-00192 Monday, September 27, 1999 (Echoes Program 32C) ARTIST SELECTION RECORDING First Half Hour Richard Burmer Bhakti Point Bhakti Point Kim Robertson Comb Your Hair The Spiral Gate and Curl It Oystein Sevag Forgiving Northern Nights* Peter Phippen Masked Dance Echoes of the Past Probe Water Lilies Probe Dan Arbras Vers Les Isles Acoustic Second Half Hour R.
