FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Tuesday 10/19/04
JAN GARBAREK: STILL DREAMING
Speaking from the famous Rainbow Studios in Oslo, where he cut many of his most influential recordings, Jan Garbarek talks about his latest album IN PRAISE OF DREAMS (ECM), a deep, smoldering meditation that's part hymn, part lament, and part Parisian café. Garbarek reflects on his poetic imagery, references to an earlier style of jazz, and the art of dreaming.

Wednesday 10/20/04
JONATHAN ELIAS: AMERICA'S LOST SOUL
Jonathan Elias caused a buzz a few years ago with his global hymn for peace, THE PRAYER CYCLE. While working on Prayer Cycle 2, 9-11 and its aftermath happened and Elias took a break to look out across the American landscape instead of the global village. The result is a haunting tone poem called AMERICAN RIVER. With recitations from the late Johnny Cash, Emmy Lou Harris and Kris Kristofferson along with performances from some of country & western's best instrumentalists, he orchestrates a landscape that's as much Cosmic as Country and Copland, searching for the lost soul of America.

Thursday 10/21/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH KAKI KING
In 2003, New York based guitarist Kaki King dazzled a lot of listeners with her two-handed tapping techniques and ferocious finger-style playing. The scary thing is, she's gotten even better since then. She's just put out her second release, LEGS TO MAKE US LONGER (Epic), an album of all original tunes that highlights her technique and a gift for elliptical melodies. Kaki King comes into the Echoes Living Room to play her music live.

Friday 10/22/04
JEFF OSTER: GABRIEL'S ECHOES
By day, Alameda-based trumpeter Jeff Oster works in stocks. By night he works in a funk band and in the ambient glimmer of the morning he makes ambient based, pastoral tone poems. Oster is one of the few trumpeters working in ambient terrain and he got people like Windham Hill founder and guitarist Will Ackerman to produce and artists like Philip Aaberg, Michael Manring and Happy Rhodes to perform on his solo debut EP AT LAST (Retso Records). We hear Oster talk about getting down, trading up and chilling out.
