Flotation Device 2021-07-25 - William Parker, Alice Coltrane, Parmegiani

Two new trios from bassist William Parker, rediscovered tape music from electroacoustic pioneer Bernard Parmegiani, groundbreaking comp/improv hybrids from Matt Mitchell & Kate Gentile’s Snark Horse and Weasel Walter’s Flying Luttenbachers. Plus Miles Davis and Alice Coltrane in 1981 on different orbits, and pondering long goodbyes with Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog and Dylan Carlson with Lori Goldston.
