We celebrate the 50th anniversary of the album Einsjäger und Siebenjäger by Popol Vuh. It’s an epic album that solidified their move away from electronics to a more organic sound.
Iasos was a pioneer in new age music before anybody realized it was there to pioneer. His sound was cosmic and so were his beliefs. But his music was entrancing. Gone at 76.
Iasos was in the first wave of New Age musicians, died on January 6. He created sounds from other dimensions and made it for Angelic Beings. We’ll hear his music tonight on Echoes.
Hear ambient guitar, live, when Jeff Pearce comes in to play music from across his 30-year career, including covers of music by two of his influences, Harold Budd and Vangelis.
We remember Carla Bley. The jazz composer provocateur created one of the most varied and exploratory body of works in jazz, spanning seven decades. She passed away at 87.
We remember guitarist Al Petteway who passed on September 25. He was a virtuoso of the instrument and a soulful player brought his love of the Appalachia’s to his music with Amy White.
We look back at A Produce. That was the moniker of Barry Craig in the ’80s and ’90s. He died young in 2011. His music is being reissued so Echoes goes back to their 1996 interview.
