#2955: Glass Bead Game
The UK guitarist and composer James Blackshaw is a prodigious young talent who’s been seen as part of the guitar tradition of the late American John Fahey. Now, his work has expanded to include mysticism, occasional other instruments, and long-form, almost classical structures. He’ll play live in our studio, and we'll listen to some of his recent release, "The Glass Bead Game." And more.
PROGRAM #2955, With James Blackshaw (First aired on July 2, 2009)
