DECEMBER CD OF THE MONTH
JOHN GREGORIUS: HEAVEN & EARTH
Fingerstyle guitar in ambient moods
On his solo debut album, Heaven and Earth, John Gregorius finds a meeting ground between Windham Hill fingerstyle guitar and ambient music. Enoesque landscapes, raga inflections, and shoegazer textures inform this music of lovely moods and melodies. It's our CD of the month for December and we'll be featuring it on the show.

R CARLOS NAKAI IN THE ECHOES CHAMBER
Native American flute master turns his ears to music native and beyond
R. Carlos Nakai put the Native American flute on the map and he's taken it to places no one could've ever expected, from canyons to concert halls, world fusions to electric excursions. He sits down in the darkness of the Echoes Chamber where host John Diliberto plays him music, including people who may have influenced him, and artists he has influenced. Join R. Carlos Nakai in the Echoes Chamber as he tries to identify music on the wind.

But he's risen above the crowd with a combination of charismatic showmanship and melodically driven tunes. Jesse comes to the Echoes studio with his band to talk about life after children and turning a Bob Dylan tune into a Rhumba.
