We go lo-fi and ambient jazz when Jeff Oster talks about his new album, hØwling lØØn. Known for his work with Will Ackerman and FLOW, Oster creates a surreal loungescape that’s quite a bit different. He plays more trumpet than he has in years, uses samples and found sound, and finds himself with an audience that’s demographically inverse from the one he usually has. Take a seat at the ambient lounge with Jeff Oster in the Echoes Podcast from PRX.

Also in this weeks podcast, we remember Al Petteway. The fingerstyle guitarist left the planet on September 25th after a short battle with an aggressive cancer. We’ll hear several tracks from his long career and revisit an interview with Al and his wife and musical partner, Amy White. They played on Echoes live in 2005 and we talked to them about their folk-based sound. Among their many albums, Winter Tidings, is a perennial part of our Holiday programming.
