INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 11/03
ECHOES NOVEMBER CD OF THE MONTH
BOMBAY DUB ORCHESTRA: 3 CITIES
Two Englishman and 70 Asian musicians converge in an east-west electronica exotica
The first album by Bombay Dub Orchestra was an Echoes CD of the Month and their second album, 3 Cities, follows suit. Like their debut, it's an often delirious and romantic mix of Bollywood strings, traditional Indian instruments and singers, and electronic orchestrations. But 3 Cities is even more organic, includes middle eastern players, and continues to create a soundtrack for the global village that is wild and sensual. 3 Cities is the Echoes CD of the Month for November.

The album has an aquatic theme and Vic Hennegan pours it out when he plays live on Echoes.

AN INTERVIEW WITH RONN MCFARLANE
This isn't your Medieval grandfather's lute music
Ronn McFarlane plays impeccable early music with the Baltimore Consort, but when he wasn't playing music from Renaissance masters like Anonymous, he was writing his own music which uses contemporary guitar playing techniques and a melodic sensibility that’s more cinematic than baroque. Ronn McFarlane talks about his new music for lute on his CD Indigo Road.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JESSE COOK
Flamenco guitar in a global world
Ever since his debut in 1996, Jesse Cook has assumed the popular mantel in Nouveau Flamenco music. He mixes his rhumba flamenco guitar style with world music percussion and searing violin lines to make a music that can be exuberant or poignantly melancholic. He does both when he comes into the Echoes living room with his quartet, playing music off his latest album, Frontiers.
