A look back at the venerable musician's career with interviews from Eno, Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, and members of Bang on A Can.
Brian Eno has made popular music avant-garde, and the avant-garde popular. Eno celebrates his 60th birthday this week. Rarely has an artist made such a monumental impact on modern music with such subtlety. Musicians who weren't even born when Brian Eno recorded his seminal albums have been touched by his music. Artists from across genres, from pop to avant-garde, African to Asian, have found their music shaped by Eno, sometimes directly, often as a life-changing influence.
As part of a week long celebration of Eno's music, "Echoes" takes a look back at his career with interviews from Eno, Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, and members of Bang on A Can.
Hosted by John Diliberto, "Echoes" is a daily two-hour series of evocative, ground-breaking music seamlessly bridging new instrumental, world fusion, new acoustic, impressionistic jazz, and inventive vocal styles.
