INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 03/19
AN INTERVIEW WITH GLENN JONES: A 12-STRING MUTANT
A John Fahey disciple travels from progressive rock to free-folk
Glenn Jones is best known as the guitarist with the Boston avant-rock group, Cul De Sac. But he's also a disciple of acoustic guitar legend, John Fahey. He befriended the influential guitarist and even recorded an album with him. Jones was plugged in then, but now he's unplugged, exploring the kind of evocative acoustic guitar music that Fahey pioneered. We talk with Glenn Jones about the joy of acoustic strings, and his love of all music progressive.

AN INTERVIEW WITH STEPHEN BENNETT: HARP GUITAR POET
A Wizard of the Magical Harp-Guitar

The Harp-Guitar is an idiosyncratic instrument played by only a handful of musicians. Michael Hedges and Pat Metheny have both plucked them, but the real zealots are found out on the edges. One of them is Virginia-based musician Stephen Bennett. Lauded by fellow musicians like Tommy Emmanuel, Bennett has frighteningly deft technique on a six-string but add that addition strings of a harp guitar and he gets really dangerous and quite beautiful. His latest album is Reflections. Stephen Bennett reflects on a lifetime of plucking strings on Echoes.

JON HASSELL: A 70th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
An unsung hero of techno-tribal music enters his 8th decade still blowing

Trumpeter Jon Hassell's music roots go back to Karlheinz Stockhausen, Lamonte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music and playing on the first recording of Terry Riley's In C. He created the sound of Techno-Tribal music that was brought to popularity in collaborations with Brian Eno, and his distinctive trumpet sound has been adopted by musicians like Mark Isham. We look back on a musician who is still pushing the sonic envelope as he celebrates his 70th birthday.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BT
Vanguard electronica artist plugs in ancient instruments live

BT is best known as a denizen of techno-trance as well as his soundtracks fro films like Monster. His album, This Binary Universe, shredded the envelope of ambient music and was Echoes #1 Essential CD for 2006. We caught up with BT on tour where he and his band sat down for an Echoes concert that included throbbing electronic rhythms, mutated hurdy-gurdy and electric bowed psaltery.
