CHRISTMAS ECHOES
The perfect music for digesting that Christmas dinner. We'll hear evocative and inventive renditions of Christmas favorites from artists who are staples of the Echoes soundscape, including R. Carlos Nakai, Jonn Serrie and music from the Windham Hill seasonal collections.

Tuesday December 26, 2000
RICHARD LEO JOHNSON - WHIPLASH IMPRESSIONISM
Richard Leo Johnson turned a few heads, and knocked a few others off with his album, FINGERTIP SHIP, early last year.  Now he's returned with a follow-up album that continues his quirky relationship with the acoustic guitar.  Language is full of twisted impressionism and odd angels, as Johnson orchestrates a finger ballet on his double-necked acoustic 6&12 String Guitar.  He's still playing fast, but he slows down long enough to talk about his new journey into the fretboard and beyond.

ERIK WOLLO'S ELECTRONIC WINTERGARDENS
When we visited Norway in 1996, we traveled across the fiords to talk with
Erik Wollo. This electronic composer has been recording since the early
1980s, playing in groups like Celeste with Oystein Sevag and Bendik
Hofseth. His 1998 album Guitar Nova has just been released in the U.S. for
the first time. We'll take you into his Wintergarden Studio to hear some
samples of his music  and talk about the impact of his Northern home on his
music.

PATRICK LEONARD: STILL WATERS RUNNING DEEP
Pianist Patrick Leonard has written hits for Madonna, including "Like A Prayer" and "Frozen" and produced albums for her and Jewel. But on his own, he creates an Americana chamber music heard on his debut album, RIVERS (Unitone).  RIVERS is a musical diary of a fly-fishing expedition in Wyoming and Montana. We talk with Patrick Leonard about his pianistic portraits and his intersection with high pop.

ECHOES TECHNO-TRIBAL NEW YEARS STOMP
Each New Year, ECHOES revs up the Beats-Per-Minute and kicks out the jams for a New Year's Eve Techno-Tribal celebration.   Drawing from the same well-springs of the usual ECHOES soundscape, ECHOES forms a seamless path into the new year, with music that dances in your head.   John Diliberto matches beats and mixes atmospheres, riding the pulse of some of the newest ambient and techno-tribal music, creating the ultimate New Years Eve chill- out room.
