  Echoes Podcast- Pete Roth & Bill Bruford

  Sep 25, 202618 min

  Pete Roth and Bill Bruford - Fusion Ignited: The Echoes Podcast. Bill Bruford is one of the greatest drummers of our age and certainly the greatest in Progressive Rock playing with Yes , King Crimson , UK and Earthworks . He retired 13 years ago and got doctorate in music. He claims to have not even touched the drums in that time. But live performance pulled him back in the form of a younger musician, guitarist Pete Roth . They meet in a new space. Pete Roth: I have to admit up until I met Bill, I didn’t know what Bill was doing and then I learned very quickly that I was being treated to a very prestigious teacher. Bill Bruford: We have different touchstones, different reference points. It’s not much good, me talking to Pete about King Crimson. or Yes or anything like that. He doesn’t know what that music is. So I like that. He’s a giant of progressive rock, but he’s only a sideman (wink-wink) with Pete Roth. We’ll be talking to them about their cross-generational approach to music on their album, Group Chat , and why Bruford came out of retirement after 13 years today on Echoes.

  Echoes Podcast: Peter Phippen & Eric “the” Taylor

  Sep 17, 202618 min

  Wires & Wind - Peter Phippen & Eric "the" Taylor: The Echoes Podcast   Our CD of the Month in September was Two by Twilight from Peter Phippen and Eric “The” the Taylor . Today, I’ve got both musicians talking about what went into making an album that brought two veteran musicians together for the first time. Phippen is a highly regarded world flutist who started out in the Native flute scene. Taylor has been working in the ambient world with David Helpling , Fragile Fate and Dark Sky Alliance . They merged in a meeting of architecture and improvisation. Peter Phippen: Yeah, I don’t like to think when I’m playing. It’s the old Taoist philosophy. No thinking, no mind, no mind, no problem. So I don’t like to repeat myself. Peter Phippen and Eric “the” Taylor want to take you into a contemplative state on Two by Twilight. But this isn’t the kind of music found on countless cookie-cutter “Music for Meditation” albums. That’s not their intent at all. Two by Twilight takes you into a land of imagination. They travel in a landscape of organic moss and digital vines, creating a world transformed and surreal. John Diliberto talks to them on Echoes from PRX .

  Echoes Podcast – Steve Hackett & Steve Rothery

  Aug 26, 202619 min

  Echoes Podcast: Genesis & Marillion Guitarists Fly Together - Steve Hackett & Steve Rothery: The Echoes Interview In the Echoes Podcast a meeting of two guitar virtuosos of sonic manipulation and melody. There have been a lot of electric guitar duets over the years, John McLaughlin recorded duet albums at different times with Larry Coryell and Carlos Santana ; John Scofield and Pat Metheny got together and Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp . Okay, I’m stretching on that last one. But none were as musical and expansive as The Roaring Waves by Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery . You know them from Genesis and Marillion respectively. It’s an instrumental album, but has all the progressive rock drama you’d expect from that lineage without the bombast, and interwoven guitar playing to go with it. Steve Hackett: Yeah, we avoided the shred particle, as it were. The idea was not to compete but to have a kind of musical conversation and there’s this kind of question and answer approach, the kind of antiphonal thing. You play something, I play something, I answer to your call We talk to Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery about their album, The Roaring Waves in the Echoes Podcast from PRX. https://insideoutmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-roaring-waves-24-bit-hd-audio

  Echoes Podcast – Jeff Beck Story

  Aug 13, 202623 min

  The Guitar Magic and Mayhem of Jeff Beck with biographers Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill: The Echoes Podcast In the Echoes Podcast , the beauty and chaos of Jeff Beck, an iconoclastic guitarist, when we talk to biographers Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill . When John Diliberto was growing up, there were three musicians that formed a holy trinity of guitarists: Eric Clapton , Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck . Beck was the first to push the electric guitar into psychedelia with The Yardbirds before taking the instrument into the stratosphere. Beck plucked his final string on January 10, 2023, leaving behind one of the most adventurous and chaotic careers in rock. Now, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill have published Blow by Blow: The Jeff Beck Story . Chris Gill: He’s really probably one of the most pure form of an artist that I’ve encountered in my career. He was really relentless in his pursuit of of a sound, of not just a sound, but sounds of what he heard of music. We connected with them to explore our common love of Beck, and they took us on a journey through his many incarnations—from psychedelic blues rocker to fusion adaptor to fearless electronica experimenter. Along the way, there was an unexpected stop at Vangelis . Chris Gill and Brad Tolinski have been around the rock music block for decades. Tolinksi was Chief Editor of Guitar World Magazine for a quarter century. He’s written books on Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page , The MC5 and a history of the electric guitar. Along with Gill, he co-wrote Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen . Gill is a Guitar World writer and a contributor to books on Eric Clapton and a previous Jeff Beck book. They have both interviewed Jeff Beck many times and seen him live even more. Read John Diliberto’s review of Jeff Beck Live from 2010 Read John Diliberto’s review of Jeff Beck Live from 2018
