University of Idaho guitar professor James Reid has a new cd out called "Birds." He dropped by the Northwest Public Radio studios to chat with me about the cd. You can listen to an excerpt on the homepage of Northwest Public Radio.
James commissioned a new work, "Four American Folk Songs," by Gwyneth Walker as well as music by Albeniz, John Duarte and Abel Calavaro. I really enjoyed speaking with James and hope that you enjoy this interview. James is performing works from his new cd next Tuesday, the 29th at 7:30pm at the Lionel Hampton School of Music Recital Hall. The recital also features another commissioned work by Portland composer Bryan Johanson for clarinet and guitar.
