FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 10/12/04
CLARA & JEAN-LUC PONTY: RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Jean-Luc Ponty is the world renowned French violinist who was an icon of jazz-fusion in the 1970s and 80s. In addition to stints with Frank Zappa, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and dozens of his own recordings, he also had some children, among them, pianist Clara Ponty. She's just released her first album in five years. It's called MIRROR OF TRUTH (JLP Productions) and marks the first time the father and daughter have recorded together. We gather the two musicians together where they talk of a youthful prodigy and a woman who is finding her own musical voice.

Wednesday 10/13/04
JEFF GREINKE: ACOUSTIC AMBIENCES
Jeff Greinke has been a denizen of electronic ambient music since the early 1980s when he released his first recording, CITIES IN FOG, favoring slowed-down textures and elongated melodies. He still leans towards that sound, but in recent years, since moving to Tucson from Seattle, his music has been growing more acoustic and overtly melodic. He's even cut two albums under the moniker of Hana, with Sky Crys Mary singer Anisa Romero. Prior to a concert in a church in Philadelphia, Greinke talks about his new directions and recent albums, SOUNDTRACKS and WEATHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET (FWD).

Thursday 10/14/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH OTTMAR LIEBERT
The pioneer of Nouveau Flamenco comes into the Echoes living room, takes off his shoes, and plays live with his current incarnation of Luna Negra. Hot on the heels of his first CD of all new music in five years, LA SEMANA (SSR), Ottmar Liebert reveals in performance why he's still the reigning master of the guitar- driven flamenco-hybrid he created over a decade ago.

Friday 10/15/04
MARY YOUNGBLOOD: NATIVE FLUTE FUSIONS
Mary Youngblood is a Native flute player born of Seminole and Aleut descent raised in an adoptive anglo family. An imposing women, she has a big flute tone that she's recorded from caverns to studios, and she is the first flute player to win a Grammy Award. That was for her album, BENEATH THE RAVEN MOON (SilverWave). Now she has a new CD, FEED THE FIRE that includes a guest spot from one of her early heroes. It's not R. Carlos Nakai, but Ian Anderson from the British rock group, Jethro Tull. Mary Youngblood talks about flute traditions and new directions.
